NICK DRAKE'S LP SOLD SO POORLY THAT ALTHOUGH IT WAS CONTINUOUSLY AVAILABLE, NO PINK 'i' LABEL PRESSINGS WERE EVER MADE OF THAT LP - BECAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO SELL ALL THE 1ST PRESSINGS (LATE 1970) THAT THE PINK 'i' ISLAND LABELS HAD ENDED BY THE TIME ALL OF NICK DRAKES 1ST LPs HAD BEEN SOLD!!!! AND THIS LP WAS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!

ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
