I am continuing to sell my entire vinyl collection, after a summer break.
Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Yardbirds, Who, Small Faces all gone now. Next up Kinks, Stones, Pistols, etc.etc.
I visually grade mostly, as almost all the records I am listing I have never played since buying them, some over 30 years ago. Sometimes I will play suing a Naim/Ortofon/Rega setup.
This is a great copy of Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left LP on Island ILPS 9105.
It is the 1972 reissue. Textured gatefold sleeve. 2nd Issue pink rim label. 
Runouts: ILPS 9105 A-3 U ILPS 9105 B-3 U 
Published by Warlock Muic. 
Sleeve printed in England by Robor Limited.
The vinyl looks EX- when graded indoors and in sunlight - just a couple of hairlines from being taken out of the sleeve.     I played a couple of the tracks and just got a couple of dust crackles. There's a couple of spindle marks on each side of the label. 
The B-side label is a bit of a strange one - and I haven't been able to find any documentation or information on it. It seems to be a pasted over label. And a badly pasted over label at that. It doesn't completely cover the label it sits over either. And is is slightly bubbled up. Have a look at the picture.
The sleeve is EX-. No tears, stains, writing, splits. It is an unlaminated gatefold. Sharp spine with a tiny bit of scuffing at the bottom. 4 sharp corners.  No creasing. No ringwear. Interior gatefold is near-perfect.
Plain white inner. Made in Great Britain. PATENT Nos. 1,125,555 
I start all my auctions at £1.00. I don't see any point in higher starting prices. I don't do Buy It Now auctions, or stop auctions early at anyone's request. So no need to ask.
I have my vinyl in Sweden and periodically take it to the UK to post. My next posting period is 11th-13th September. So the winning bidder will need to pay within 48 hours.
