Rare ONCE-PLAYED 1979 U.K. Island 1st Pressing Box Set 'Fruit Tree - The Complete Recorded Works' by Nick Drake. Triple Vinyl Box Set includes 8-Page (16 sides) thick glossy Booklet. The best xxample you will see - All Discs/Sleeves/Booklet in Near Mint Condition.
First pressings are always treasured because tape deteriorates over time. This legendary UK 1975 Island 1st Pressing box-set also has first or near first matrix stampers. Those familiar with Island Records will instantly realize the importance of “U” stampers (like the Cat Stevens U-3 stampers).
Matrix Stampers:
Record #1 – 1-U/3-U
Record #2 – 2-U/1-U
Record #3 – 3-U/2-U
These “U” stampers produce ABSOLUTELY ETHEREAL SOUND! Nick’s voice is finally unveiled. The leading edges and decays are perfect. You will feel like Nick is performing inside your sound room. These are truly DEMO QUALITY records!
All discs are in NEAR MINT condition, not a single blemish on any of them, they are all absolutely pristine. Each sleeve is also in NEAR MINT condition. Each retains its original color and textured feel, with no discoloration.
Inside each sleeve is the correct NEAR MINT black Island inner housing each record. The original booklet is also in NEAR MINT pristine condition. The box has some corner and edge wear. Some of the box’s blue has worn down which is typical of this particular laminate finish. This box grades as excellent.
Please view each volume’s cover picture for track listings.
