Nick Drake - The Making of Five Leaves Left [4LP Box Set]

Unveiling a timeless treasure, The Making Of Five Leaves Left celebrates Nick Drake's iconic debut with an exquisite limited edition 4LP box set.

Embark on a journey back to 1969, a time when the folk genre was infused with the ethereal touch of Drake's genius. This box set doesn’t just revisit his classic debut; it expands it. Featuring over 30 demos, studio outtakes, and never-before-heard songs from the original sessions, it provides a rare glimpse into the creative process behind Five Leaves Left. Remastered by John Wood, the set delicately balances the original essence with a fresh sonic polish, all under the watchful eye of the Nick Drake Estate.

Produced by the legendary Joe Boyd, the original album remains a profoundly moving testament to Drake's folk-poetry mastery. While the demos and outtakes offer an intimate look at the artistic evolution of this enigmatic figure, known for his gentle yet profound tracks like "River Man" and "Time Has Told Me". This release also includes a 60-page book, adorned with textured paper, providing a rich tapestry of recording details, charts, and stories, lovingly compiled by Neil Storey and Richard Morton-Jack.

For collectors and fans alike, this black vinyl edition is more than just an album; it's an immersion into the heart of an artist who has long been a beacon for the introspective music lover.
