Description

Donovan - A Gift from a Flower to a Garden Mono UK Vinyl LP First Pressing Box
In absolutely superb condition, this is the first mono UK pressing (NPL 20000) of Donovan's classic album / box, released by Pye in 1968. Complete with original illustrated (blue) box, folder with 12 inserts, two discs in original inner sleeves.
From a private collection - one owner since new and new to the market.
Discs are beautiful; appear to be barely touched and NM- throughout: clean, bright and glossy throughout and almost seem new, with only the following flaws that I can see; very light non-sounding mark to record 1 side 2 band 1; ditto non-sounding to record 2, side 2, band 1 and band ; very light spindle marks to labels.
Inner sleeves likewise NM; clean, bright and sharp.
Outer box has a little edge rubbing but is otherwise square, tight and true; bright and clean.
All 12 inserts are mint - as new and untouched.
Folder is near mint - almost perfect with the very lightest of handling wear when viewed under raking light.
Matrices are: NPL20000A/B/C/D-1?G
To hear how lovely and quiet these discs are, you can hear some audio examples (straight transfers with no processing of any kind, including any sections described as visual flaws above) here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uXjX1As9yW77fsOBCE1yWVx2erTS9waV
Both discs have been ultrasonically cleaned and finished with a Keith Monks Gemini to be in the best possible condition.
Please do feel free to get in touch with any questions or for more photographs and the very best of luck!
