NICK DRAKE - A TREASURY (HYBRID SACD)

A singular talent who passed almost unnoticed during his brief lifetime, Nick Drake produced three studio albums of sombre beauty: FIVE LEAVES LEFT (1969), BRYTER LAYTER (1970), and PINK MOON (1972). It’s impossible to keep count of the contemporary artists who cite Drake as an inspiration, but a cursory round-up includes R.E.M., Paul Weller, Travis, Portishead, The Coral, Coldplay, David Gray, Super Furry Animals and Beth Orton. Along with household names of his creative lifetime — the Stones, The Beatles, Marley, Hendrix — his albums have become an unofficial set text for anyone passionate about music. With all the profile that he received earlier in the year for his ‘rarities’ release, this is the perfect album for curious music lovers to pick up.
