Island/Universal Music release a five CD, limited edition collection of
the complete Nick Drake catalogue 'Tuck Box'; FIVE LEAVES LEFT: Nick's
debut album from 1969. BRYTER LAYTER: the second album released in 1970.
PINK MOON: Nick's final release from 1972. MADE TO LOVE MAGIC: the
collection of Island-period recordings, out-takes, off cuts, cast-offs,
orphans and the last 5 songs Nick recorded for his proposed 4th album.
FAMILY TREE: originally released in 2004 to add to and replace the TIME
OF NO REPLY compilation, FAMILY TREE is a collection of recordings made
before the Island Records period, from a 9 year old Nick playing Mozart
through to spoken word pieces, early songs, cover versions and demos
recorded to secure his contract, as well as two recordings by his mother
Molly Drake perhaps written in response to her son (Originally released
in 2007). Each CD comes housed in mini-replica LP sleeves and come with
reproductions of the original shop posters for each release. The box
set itself is a 7-inch square and the design depicts Nick Drake's own
tuck box from his Marlborough College days, used to guard the various
cakes dispatched weekly from his mother, Molly Drake.
