NICK DRAKE / Elton John WARLOCK SAMPLER- ULTRA RARE LP

Nick Drake/Elton John WARLOCK MUSIC SAMPLER LP released in 1970. 11 tracks. According to Record Collector this is "One of the 100 most valuable records of all time."
Only 100 were pressed BUT less than 10 are known to exist.

While trying to launch his solo career in early 1970, Elton John continued to do session work for other musicians. "Saturday Sun" aka the "Warlock Sampler" was one such project. At the time, Warlock Music publisher Joe Boyd was grooming a network of young sogwruters and wanted to put togheter a promotional album to encourage other artists to record their songs.
Boyd hired Elton John and others for the session recorded July 1970 at Sound Techniques in Chelsea (London). The result is a rare treasure. LESS THAN 10 COPIES EXIST, most supposedly owned by the musicians. This Warlock sampler features songs by folk singer Nick Drake, Mike Heron of the Incredible String Band, and the husband-wife duo of John and Beverly Martyn. The sessions were rumored to have been recorded with six or seven musicians, including Drake, Martyn, Caleb Quaey and Roger Pope. Elton played piano on all the tracks billed under his real name Reg Dwight and sang Stormbringer (John Martyn), Go Out and Get It (Mike Heron), Sweet Honesty (Beverly Martyn), and Way To Blue, When The Day Is Done, Time Has Told Me and Saturday Sun (all by Nick Drake.)
Linda Peters, the future wife of Fairport Convention's Richard Thompson, sang female leads on the remaining tracks.
