Nick Drake Five Leaves Left - Remastered - Sealed UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Nick Drake's bucolic autumnal shades in his 1969 debut album heralded a new signing for Island Records: not traditional enough to be folk, not weird enough to be psychedelic, Drake avoided the pitfalls of what was expected and collaborated with producer Joe Boyd, orchestrator Robert Kirby and recording engineer John Wood to make a singular and almost unique record released to a largely indifferent media.
Part Donovan, part Jim Webb, he articulated an aching romanticism at a time when progressive rock ran rampant. Beautiful melodies and fragrant accompaniment, in particular Robert Kirby's stunning string arrangements, enhance the artist's sense of longing in which warm, but understated, vocals accentuate the album's passive mystery.
A few leaves fell in the right place and Nick's reputation grew, despite his early death at 24 in 1976, escalating into the world-wide fame he enjoys today.

spellbinding 1969 debut <I>Five Leaves Left</I> stands as
one of the most poetic and emotionally resonant albums in
British music. A landmark of introspective songwriting, the
album was producedby Joe Boyd with string arrangements by
Robert Kirby and engineered by John Wood. Drake's gentle
vocals and intricate guitar work are bathed in autumnal
melancholia, captured most vividly on tracks like "River Man"
and "Way to Blue." While underappreciated on release, the
album's subtle genius has grown into a lasting influence on
generations of musicians and listeners alike. This
<B>remastered edition</B> is pressed on 180-gram black
vinyl with the original pink Island block logo label, housed in
a gatefold sleeve that faithfully replicates the original
artwork - complete with a facsimile of the pale blue Island
Records inner sleeve. Brand new & factory sealed. Essential) <BR><B>#Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time</B>)
