Nick Drake
One Sided 12" acetate containing 4 songs and one short guitar instrumental
F.A. Burchell & Co Ltd of Stratford -Upon-Avon label on side one - as the label states , they provided a private recording service through the late 1950's and through the 1960's
The four songs are accompanied by accoustic guitar only , and of the four , two are familiar :- "Way To Blue" and "Three Hours" , I do not recognize the remaining two .... The Instrumental track is a short 3/4 time signature with the sixth string 'dropped to D'
An approximate date for this disc is around 1968 / 1969
By the sound of the disc the tracks are early , but near complete .... very clear one mic recording .... The disc was purchased along with a large collection of mid 1960's to 1973 Folk , Rock , Blues LP collection
A remarkable find , I would prefer to sell to a genuine collector , so any of the usual 'have you got a buy it now' emails from 'dealers' will be ignored . But genuine collectors are very welcome to email questions
The Disc has mild surface use , several very light marks .... one light tick inbetween track one and two
The Disc is housed in a plain card sleeve

I usually start auctions at a low price to generate interest in bidding
All items are graded Audio / Visually , and played on a high grade system
Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I understand the requirements in the gradings of discs and sleeves , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised
I grade items ( using the UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition
I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as STUNNING !! RARE !! AWESOME !! , padded out with grossly long winded 'descriptions' ..... Many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and does not correspond with the actual facts , and would be laughable but for the fact it is totally misleading. I take time and care to graded items correctly , and only list quality records , with concise , accurate grading descriptions
I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest !) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists 'live' ( I saw The Beatles twice and Segovia !)
I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell (and always learning !) having bought copies of my own at time of issue , always being interested in the sleeve , label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to answer correctly
Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount are from repeat buyers ( many thanks !) .... and in the event of genuine complaints will remedy the situation as soon as possible
All items carefully packaged using proper cardboard packaging (I do not use low quality preformed mailers)
The discs are placed seperately from the sleeves within the package to avoid splitting or damage . Items are sent promptly - usually within one working day of payment .
