Description

Nick Drake - Fruit Tree
Japanese Mini-LP Box Set - UICY-90971

For sale, the rare-as-hen's-teeth 2008 Japanese Mini-LP release of Nick Drake's trio of classic albums for Island Records, from my personal collection.

This set, unusually for Mini-LPs, is not a strict recreation of the original Fruit Tree box set as it features the original album sleeves rather than the exclusive artwork that was used for the Fruit Tree box set. These recreations are, however, very accurate to the originals with Bryter Layter featuring the same textured card as the original UK printing and Five Leaves Left retaining the misprint in the gatefold listing the track "Three Hours" as "Sundown". The set also features the documentary A Skin Too Few on region-free DVD (NTSC format video), also packaged in a Mini-LP sleeve, and a very thick Japanese language booklet with all lyrics and an essay by Bryter Music's Cally, who takes care of Nick's estate on behalf of Gabrielle Drake. Also included is the hype sticker that most people throw away when opening! Truly as good as new - possibly better than new as I added some standard Mini-LP sealed covers - these were not included in the original release, the albums are intended to sit in the box without them.

To ensure the item arrives with you in as perfect condition as it leaves me, the item has been double-bubblewrapped and will be sent in a cardboard box designed for 7" vinyl singles. The Buy It Now price INCLUDES Special Delivery 1pm through Royal Mail. International buyers can contact me for an exact postage quote or can simply purchase the item and pay my currently quoted rates - if the actual shipping price is lower than that I will issue partial refunds. I will consider lower offers from international buyers due to the postage being an added cost.

Many other Japanese Mini-LPs from my personal collection will be listed in the coming days and weeks, please check my other auctions or subscribe to get updates on my new listings.
