Nick Drake – A Treasury (LP)

Product Description

Nick Drake – A Treasury (LP)

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, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix–his albums have become an unofficial set text for anyone passionate about music.

A Treasury is a true collection in the basic sense, this single-disc LP–with notes written by Peter Paphides specifically for this vinyl release–contains songs from Drake’s three primary albums, with a few tracks taken from Made to Love Magic. Both the words and music on this release further illustrate the great depth and passion of Drake’s songwriting among the canon of his recordings from 1969 to 1972, the year Pink Moon debuted.
A Treasury is the definitive collection of 15 classic songs by Nick Drake. 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.
