There is some minor crackle here and there but non of them overpowers the music. Visual the disc looks EX+ to M- with no major scratches and hairlines. There are some very small imperfections on the vinyl but non of them are audible.

About this record.
Nick Drake (Nicholas Rodney Drake) can be considered is one of the best UK folk singer/songwriters! The man created 3 trully beautiful albums in the period from 1969 till 1972. We think most people kniow Nick Drake and his work.
Nick Drake was born on June 19th 1948 in Rangoon, Burma
Unfortunately Nick Drake died in 1974 (Tanworth-in-Arden, England) at the age of 26. The cause of death was an overdose of anti-depressant medication.
In 1969 Nick Drake released his first album “Five Leaves Left” on the legendary “Island” label which released some classic albums like “King Crimson – In The coart of Crimson King” and “Jethro Tull – Stand Up” in the same year.
Back in the days the debut by Nick didn’t do much which is off course a huge shame. Nowadays many of us say this album is a masterpiece, which it is!!
The songs on the album are examples of classic British folk singer/songwriter music. The songs are beautiful arranged, the vocals are lovely and the musicianship outstanding. We think every serious record collector with interest in the British music scene from the late 60’s and early 70’s should own a copy!
After this debut album, Nick released 2 other albums called “Bryter Layter” from 1971 and “Pink Moon” from 1972. Both albums were also released on “Island Records”.
