I really envy you if this is the first time you'll be able to sit down to listen to Nick Drake's first album on vinyl. There's hardly a more beautiful record in the world, and the vinyl sound is gorgeous.
This was the first pressing in the US (Terre Haute pressing); it came out in 1976, a few years after the original UK issue. It includes retrospective liner notes that are very helpful and very moving.
I'll copypaste the Condition description here, as sometimes that field gets missed:
NM-/VG+...Almost NM vinyl but the slightest surface sound audible between some tracks, as heard on Stax electrostatic headphones. The sleeve is VG+ still almost glossy but has some ringwear and the upper left corner is wrinkled.
Even if you don't buy this particular copy, try and give a listen to the record on stream or otherwise; it's a real must-hear.
Free postage and insurance.
