Nick Drake Appreciation - Album By Album & All Things Nick Drake*

Most rock samplers are all pretty good Gutbucket springs to mind. But, Nick's music sandwiched between other Island acts at the time just wasn't effective( at least for me).

 

Time to wind up my Westminster mantle Art Deco clock. The ticking and chimes has a calming effective takes me out of the 21stC and transposes me a half century earlier.

 

Yes, many great songs are left out. Would prefer properly made tab book including all the albums.

 

Don't use tab's myself play by ear. But chords /tunings would still be a help.
His first three albums should all have their own song book editions. You'd think there would be a demand.

 

When did these come out?

 

Blue plaque.
Has it been corrected to 1948 - 1974 now ?

 

June Tabor & Oysterband is one of my all time favorite albums.

 

Nick Drakes record collection?
The Goons
Bonzo DOG
the Doors
LoVe
Francoise Hardy
Fairport Convention
Judy Collins
Canned Heat

 

Vinyl ?

 

Did everybody get a 8x10 b&w promo photo similar to above with their Magic /45rpm single ?

 

WOW -- Is this available on cd or dvd?

 

Nick with Levin. Maybe someone with better eyesight can read the serial number on the headstock.Good way to date the instrument.

 

Five Leaves Left 50th Anniversary out in 7 months, assuming.

Why did it take a year to be released. Recording began July 1968, released July 1969?

 

Nick Kent did he give up writing?

 

I assume he still publishes something every now and then.

 

The best thing about the mid seventies music magazines and the NME was NK articles.

 

National treasury house.
They've left his room intact, books ..record collection, guitars .. Pack of rizla papers five leaves left. You'd think !!!

 

I'd welcome this if it included an official release of some of the oddities from those sessions that are only available on bootlegs - that's if the masters still exist somewhere.

Anniversary seems a no brainer. What it would entail I could only guess.

 

And why did they leave such gems as "Joey" "Magic" and "Clothes of Sand" out?

I guess because the bar was set HIGH.

..and they definitely succeeded. But of course the recognition came way too late...

 

Again, 12 months recording. Was a special case of cheap rate fitting him in when it was affordable ?

 

Its a track by track thread.
Go back in the thread to FLL and the answers are all there.

 

Strange no dolly birds, guess that how the photo shoot went, random. Nobody's aware of him likes he's a ghost watching the city life in flow.

 

Any photos of his France trip(s)?

 

So we move to the last of the official releases--released after Nick's passing
A compilation of demos, home recordings and sundry. Comments and thoughts and emotions welcome.
