A beautiful and possibly unplayed UK Island first pressing of the 1979 Nick Drake 3 LP box set Fruit Tree: The Complete Recorded Works.

This first issue of Fruit Tree included Drake's three albums, Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later, and Pink Moon, all packaged in new alternate album covers, with four at that time unreleased tracks: 'Rider on the Wheel,' 'Black Eyed Dog,' 'Hanging on a Star,' and 'Voice From the Mountain.'

The discs are all Mint, and look unplayed, with no spindle marks at all.  The covers and booklet are mint too, while the cover is Near Mint, with some very light foxing to the inside, and a bit of creasing to the hinge that connects the box's front and back.

A clean and essential Nick Drake collectible.

We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked.

Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition.
