Description
This is my fully original 1969 copy of Five Leaves Left bought from Selectadisc in Nottingham when first released, it has been through over 25 house moves so the cover is not the prettiest you could find with ring wear and a split at the top but the vinyl is immaculate
Matrix numbers are ILPS 9105 A // 2 & ILPS 9105 B // 2 showing that it was pressed at the UK Polydor factory in 1969, the following year Island switched to the Pink Rim label so these Eye label copies are extremely rare and later copies were pressed by EMI, Island not having their own pressing plant
If you are reading this then you will already know everything there is to know about this glorious album and Nick's music, one of the greatest musicians that we have ever produced
On 10-May-11 at 14:57:49 BST, seller added the following information:Further to an earlier enquiry regarding the quality of the vinyl
I have now played all LP on the following equipment:
Rega Planar 25 turntable with RB600 tonearm and Elys 2 MMC
Rega Mira 3 amplifier
KEF Q5 speakers
I can say that the LP plays very well with very slight occasional background noise (nothing that reducing treble slightly would not diminish) and with a couple of very slight clicks on track 2 side 2 (Thoughts of Mary Jane) other than that the vinyl is bright and unmarked.
