NICK DRAKE UK True 1st Press FIVE LEAVES LEFT LP Pink i RARE EARLIEST PRESS WITH SONGS IN WRONG ORDER ON LP,CVR
Here is a very rare UK first pressing of Nick Drake's first LP, the great FIVE LEAVES LEFT. This is the earliest pressing, with the Pink I block label, and the final two songs on side one reversed on the disc and cover ("Day Is Done" and "Way To Blue" are listed in the correct order on the label, but the disc incorrectly plays "Way To Blue" first and then "Day Is Done." The cover has the incorrect running order as well, which has been corrected here in black pen.) The disc , with A/2 and B/2 stampers, is in EX condition, with one thin silent (and non-feelable) mark on side one, and some light scuffs and hairlines on side two. It sounds great and has tons of shine to it.
The correct gatefold cover (with Basing Street address and "Eye" logo on the reverse) is in VG++ condition, with some very light moisture staining on the back cover, on the left edge and along the bottom (you can see this on the photo.) And as mentioned, an arrow on the track listing corrects the incorrect playing order.
If you've read this far, you probably know how rare this album is--all the more rare with the incorrect running order, which was only on the very first pressings. And tremendous music to boot !

US & Canada Shipping: $9 for 1-2 LP's by insured Priority Mail (Ebay’s recent rule change requires us to offer Media Mail shipping for records, at $4.00 for 1 LP. As this is a very slow method of shipping and uninsured, we cannot guarantee safe delivery by this method and strongly recommend paying extra for the much quicker and safer Priority Mail.) $17 for 1-2 posters, shipped priority mail in a new mailer/tube & US orders are automatically insured for up to $200 in value. Calif. buyers add 8.25% sales tax (calculated automatically by Paypal.) All other items shipped at cost.
International Shipping: $16 for 1 LP airmail without insurance. $4 for each additional LP; $21 for 1-2 posters. All other items shipped at cost. Because of problems with the Italian Post Office, we highly recommend either insured or registered mail for all Italian orders and cannot be responsible for any order shipped to Italy without one or the other of these.
