	Five Leaves Left New - LP - B0018490-01 Sealed 180gm Repress In A Gatefold Jacket. "It's Little Wonder Why Drake Felt Frustrated At The Lack Of Commercial Success His Music Initially Gathered, Considering The Help He Had On His Debut Record. Besides Fine Production From Joe Boyd And Assistance From Folks Like Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson And His Unrelated Bass Counterpart From Pentangle, Danny Thompson, Drake Also Recruited School Friend Robert Kirby To Create Most Of The Just-Right String And Wind Arrangements. His Own Performance Itself Steered A Careful Balance Between Too-Easy Accessibility And Maudlin Self-Reflection, Combining The Best Of Both Worlds While Avoiding The Pitfalls On Either Side. The Result Was A Fantastic Debut Appearance, And If The Cult Of Drake Consistently Reads More Into His Work Than Is Perhaps Deserved, Five Leaves Left Is Still A Most Successful Effort. Having Grown Out Of The Amiable But Derivative Styles Captured On The Long-Circulating Series Of Bootleg Home Recordings, Drake Imbues His Tunes With Just Enough Drama -- World-Weariness In The Vocals, Carefully Paced Playing, And More -- To Make It All Work. His Lyrics Capture A Subtle Poetry Of Emotion, As On The Pastoral Semi-Fantasia Of "The Thoughts Of Mary Jane," Which His Soft, Articulate Singing Brings Even More To The Full. Sometimes He Projects A Little More Clearly, As On The Astonishing Voice-And-Strings Combination "Way To Blue," While Elsewhere He's Not So Clear, Suggesting Rather Than Outlining The Mood. Understatement Is The Key To His Songs And Performances' General Success, Which Makes The Combination Of His Vocals And Rocky Dzidzornu's Congas On "Three Hours" And The Lovely "'Cello Song," To Name Two Instances, So Effective. Danny Thompson Is The Most Regular Side Performer On The Album, His Bass Work Providing Subtle Heft While Never Standing In The Way Of The Song -- Kudos Well Deserved For Boyd's Production As Well."

	Pink Moon New - LP - SMAS 9318 Factory Sealed 1972 Gatefold Original. “After Two Albums Of Tastefully Orchestrated Folk-Pop, Albeit Some Of The Least Demonstrative And Most Affecting Around, Drake Chose A Radical Change For What Turned Out To Be His Final Album. Not Even Half-An-Hour Long, With 11 Short Songs And No More — He Famously Remarked At The Time That He Simply Had No More To Record — Pink Moon More Than Anything Else Is The Record That Made Drake The Cult Figure He Remains. No Side Musicians Or Outside Performers Help This Time Around — It's Simply Drake And Drake Alone On Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, And A Bit Of Piano, Recorded By Regular Producer Joe Boyd But Otherwise Untouched By Anyone Else. The Lead-Off Title Track Was Eventually Used In A Volkswagen Commercial Nearly 30 Years Later, Giving Him Another Renewed Burst Of Appreciation — One Of Life's Many Ironies, In That Such An Affecting Song, Drake's Softly Keened Singing And Gentle Strumming, Could Turn Up In Such A Strange Context. The Remainder Of The Album Follows The Same General Path, With Drake's Elegant Melancholia Avoiding Sounding Pretentious In The Least Thanks To His Continued Embrace Of Simple, Tender Vocalizing. Meanwhile, The Sheer Majesty Of His Guitar Playing — Consider The Opening Notes Of "Road" Or "Parasite" — Makes For A Breathless Wonder To Behold. If Anyone Needs Confirmation As To Why Artists Like Mark Eitzel, Elliot Smith, Lou Barlow, Or Robert Smith Hold Drake Close To Their Hearts, It's All Here, Still As Beautiful As The Day It Was Released.” Ned Raggett, AMG. more

	Time Has Told Me New - LP - 1000 Out Of Print, Three-LP set featuring 44 previously-unreleased Drake tracks. This set will be limited to 1,000 pressings. All of the songs were transferred from original copies of Drake's home tapes they have been Re-EQd and mastered using noise reduction and speed correction. The LPs are packaged in a single sleeve with a wide-spine cover and feature liner notes by Drake aficionado Scott Appel. Nick had only recorded three albums during his lifetime, Five Leaves Left, Bryter Lyter and Pink Moon. If your appreciation for Nick’s music borders on fanaticism, then you don’t want to miss this set. The sound quality is certainly not “audiophile” as would be expected from private, demo recordings. But this rare music provides a fascinating insight into Nick’s creative process. It is unlikely that these selections will surface again once the set is out-of-print. This is truly a unique opportunity for the serious Nick Drake collector and completist. more
