FROM THE MORNING.
After two albums of tastefully orchestrated folk-pop, albeit some of the least demonstrative and most affecting around, Drake chose a radical change for what turned out to be his final album. Not even half-an-hour long, with 11 short songs and no more -- he famously remarked at the time that he simply had no more to record -- Pink Moon more than anything else is the record that made Drake the cult figure he remains. Specifically, Pink Moon is the bleakest of them all; that the likes of Belle and Sebastian are fans of Drake may be clear enough, but it's doubtful they could ever achieve the calm, focused anguish of this album, as harrowing as it is attractive.
Nick Drake died on the 25th November 1974.
THIS REALLY IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS RECORDING, QUITE SIMPLY YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER QUALITY PINK MOON FIRST PINK RIM PRESSING ANYWHERE! THE VINYL IS SUPERB WITH A LOVELY CLEAN SHINE.
