Check out the Nick Drake box set. Man this is tasty. For those who missed out on Fruit Tree originally (will cost you a mint now) you can get a lovely new repackaged version of it. The box consists of Drakes 3 glorious albums, 'Five Leaves Left' (Genius), 'Bryter Layter' (his pop album) and 'Pink Moon' (angsty more difficult 3rd album) as well as a 50 minute documentary on DVD called A Skin Too Few AND a 100 page book crammed with tidbits and filthy morsels. I saw the film a while back and it's what got me into his music. I left the screening in tears.... his music really does move me like no other. For anyone into folk music you need this like you need food. Five Leaves Left is the most incredible album.... all 3 are totally great. An extremely important document in British folk music. 'Fruit Tree' would make an ace Christmas present.The box set consists of the three albums; Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later and Pink Moon, a DVD of ‘A Skin Too Few’ a BBC documentary, and a premium booklet.
