.... ORIGINAL COMPILATION-RECORDING 2004 BY ISLAND RECORDS IN ENGLAND (UK) .............. *************************************************............... ALBUM RECORDS..........................

..................................... There have been so few vinyl LPs produced over the last 5 years that you should never pass up the opportunity to upgrade your collection. They're each very limited in their pressings and disappear with extraordinary quickness from the vinyl market. This causes prices to skyrocket because once they are gone, they are gone forever! Don't second-guess yourself with this chance to upgrade your collection because before you know it, the opportunity will have passed forever.
 ..........
As an introduction to the work of Nick Drake, this album competes with the Way to Blue collection. Except for Hazey Jane I & II, Cello Song, I Was Made To Love Magic, Place To Be and Road, all the tracks are the same although the sound quality is better on this one, at least as far as my copies are concerned.
 ..........
Drake's individual albums are all classics but they are very much self-contained units. From the album Bryter Layter come Hazey Jane I and II, Poor Boy and Northern Sky. Five Leaves Left contributes Cello Song, Way To Blue and River Man, whilst the stark minimalist album Pink Moon supplies Place To Be, Pink Moon, From the Morning and Road. Black Eyed Dog comes from the posthumous Time Of No Reply album.
 ..........
On Sweet Old World Lucinda Williams beautifully covered Which Will and Swans made a bloodcurdling version of Black Eyed Dog, found on their Various Failures 1988-1992 album. The Dream Academy dedicated the song Life In A Northern Town (1985) to Nick Drake. His song Mayfair had already been covered by Millie (of My Boy Lollipop fame) in 1970.
 ..........
My complaint about both Way To Blue and Treasury is the omission of Fly, a song that first appeared on Bryter Later and was then included, in a different version, on Time of No Reply. In my opinion, it is one of his most moving songs. Besides that, this compilation contains a fair selection of Drake's eerily compelling music but it is still better to investigate the original albums.  ..........
............... Personnel: Nick Drake (vocals, guitar); Richard Thompson (guitar); Claire Lowther (cello); Robert Kirby (strings, brass); Ray Warleigh (alto saxophone); John Cale (piano, celesta, organ); Chris McGregor (piano); Dave Pegg (bass instrument); Danny Thompson (double bass); Dave Mattacks, Mike Kowalski (drums); Rocki Dzidzornu (congas); Doris Troy, Pat Arnold (background vocals).Liner Note Author: Peter Paphides;Nick Dreake only released three official albums, that's a healthy chunk of the British singer/songwriter's oeuvre.With unprecedentedly crisp quality, we're given masterfully orchestrated folk-rock ("Hazey Jane II," "Northern Sky"), bleak, strikingly minimalist, haiku-like solo-acoustic pieces ("Pink Moon," "Black Eyed Dog"), and lush, mournfully elegant ballads ("River Man," "Way to Blue"). Throughout, Drake's hushed, breathy voice, nimble Joao Gilberto-meets-John Fahey guitar work, and hauntingly beautiful lyricism shine through, making it clear why this doomed troubadour's slim repertoire has been revisited so many times over the years.  ....... ..............................
