  1. I really like Nick Drake but I've never ventured past the 3 proper albums. Which of these are essential?

     

    Honestly, all three of them are pretty good, and official releases from the estate.  However, I find Made To Love Magic and Family Tree to be the better of the three... Made To Love Magic includes some alternate takes and three songs that Nick recorded after Bryter Layter that were previously never released.  Family Tree is a compilation of home demo recordings that Nick recorded throughout the years including two original songs that his mother (Molly Drake) recorded at home,  which are actually quite good.  There is actually a Molly Drake album as well which I highly recommend: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F0LCCPU/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00F0LCCPU&linkCode=as2&tag=theoffici075f-20&linkId=K4BR22ODZ763YZNJ

  2. Looks like Amazon US has an "Import" version for pre-order as well.  I noticed this one is 2xLP and the US one is 1xLP, but other than that does anyone know of a difference?

     

    Here's the import version on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAOSTH4/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00NAOSTH4&linkCode=as2&tag=theoffici075f-20&linkId=2Q4YOVWGPANKOTJA

  3. Nick Drake's posthumous releases, Family Tree and A Treasury are both getting a repress.  Pre-order links are up on Amazon with a December 9 release date.

  4. Keep checking Amoeba. I grabbed mine a few weeks ago after it was listed "Out of Stock" for awhile. I've since seen it pop up again periodically. Good price and free shipping. Otherwise, you can still get it at Boomkat for import price:

    Good luck!

    Thanks!  Does anyone know if the deluxe will be going out to stores or was it for pre-order only?
