NICK DRAKE US Capitol Issue on Pink Rim Island

$

54

Still trying to improve the photos.  Bear with me.  This week I’m dragging out a couple sealed items.  Be more of those coming.

The fine print:

All records are shipped in cardboard record mailers with stiffeners.  Records are shipped in plastic sleeves with the record outside the cover. 

Ship to US addresses only.  Sorry, not going through the international thing again, too many hassles.  The bay has a habit of adding international shipping back into my listings, so I have to remember to take it out.  So if it says I do, I really don’t.

All records are shipped media mail for $4 unless you request fancier service.  If you have multiple wins I’ll keep the shipping cost at $4 until you break the 3 lb weight barrier, which is when the USPS rate goes up.  Actual cost decided by weight, but probably go up in $1 increments.  Box sets are obviously more and I’ll have to get those costs for you.  If I don’t specify the shipping cost in the listing I’ll specify it sometime during the week.

I specify shipping within 3 days, but generally do better than that.  The more I have ready at one time the quicker I ship (I still work for a living and stop at the PO on the way home from work).  FYI, I make a mail run virtually every Monday since many people pay as soon as they win the auction.  Prompt payment works well for both of us.  If you want to hold off on payment because you’re interested in the next weeks listings just drop me a line and I’ll hold winnings for you until you tell me you’re done. 

As usual, questions cheerfully answered for free. 

So today’s offering:

Catalogue: SMAS 9307.  Original pink rim Island with ‘Available from Capitol Records’ blurb in rim.

Cover: VG+(+), solid and intact with only light wear.  Bottom front cover has some light stains, appears it was splashed with something (water? tea?).  Have to catch the light reflection on the cover to see them, and tried to show it in the photos.

Vinyl: M-

Labels: NM

This is, as far as I know, the only Nick Drake album issued in the US back in the day (1971), and is a compilation of his first 2 UK albums.  Brilliant, no matter what it was.
