Description
NICK DRAKE “ FRUIT TREE “ 1979
ISLAND NDSP 1001 / 2 / 3 UK ISSUE
THREE LPS IN INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED STIFF SLEEVES. BOOKLET OF PHOTOS AND FULL LYRICS. ALL HOUSED IN A BOX.
VOL 1 IS “FIVE LEAVES LEFT “
VOL 2 IS “ BRYTER LATER “
VOL 3 IS “ PINK MOON “ AND 4 PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED SONGS.
THO’ RELEASED SEVEN YEARS AFTER NICK DRAKE’S LAST RECORDING THE SOUNDS ON THESE THREE LPS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL RELEASES, UNLIKE THE LATER HANNIBAL ISSUES [ 1986] WHICH BEAR MORE SIMILARITY TO THE CD RELEASES. THE ORIGINAL RECORDED SOUND, AS WELL AS BEING WARMER, WAS ALTOGETHER DARKER WITH NICK’S VOICE DEEPER IN THE MIX AND NOT PULLED FORWARD AS WAS TO HAPPEN. THIS DIFFERENCE GIVES A GREATER AUTHENTICITY AND SOMEHOW MAKES NICK DRAKE SEEM MORE ELUSIVE. THIS IS TRUE ANALOGUE SOUND AND NOT A DIGITAL RE-MASTER GRAFTED ONTO VINYL .
BOX : VG. SHELF RUB TO BOTTOM EDGE. ALL FOUR CORNERS WORN. THESE “HINGED “ BOXES ARE NOT GOOD AT SURVIVING. DESPITE THE STORAGE WEAR THIS IS STILL INTACT AND COULD BE A LOT WORSE.
SLEEVES: EXCELLENT. ALL SLEEVES ARE CLEAN AND TIDY.
BOOKLET : EXCELLENT. VERY FEW SIGNS THAT THIS HAS BEEN LOOKED AT.
VINYL : EXCELLENT. SIX SIDES OF PERFECT DEEP SHINE. VERY LIGHT SPINDLE, VERY FEW PLAYS. IT’S HARD TO TELL IF THE THIRD VOLUME “ PINK MOON” , HAS RECEIVED ANY PLAY AT ALL! JUST BEAUTIFUL.
POSTAGE GB £6.50
EUROPE £11.50
INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR £16.50
