Nick Drake – Pink Moon (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in just two late-night sessions at London's Sound Techniques studio in October 1971, Pink Moon was delivered to Drake's label Island Records by Drake himself, left at the reception desk without a word. That quiet, almost ghostly act of delivery feels inseparable from the music itself, 28 minutes of some of the most intimate and unguarded songwriting ever committed to tape, a record that rewards the kind of careful listening the broader world took decades to offer him.
Heavyweight 180gm virgin vinyl LP repressing of this 1972 album. Nick Drake's third and final album, many consider to be his finest moment, was a radical departure from his previous work, stripped of the lush orchestral arrangements, Pink Moon featured Drake alone on vocals, acoustic guitar and the occasional piano accompaniment. This starkness was matched in brevity, with Pink Moon consisting of 11 short songs coming to less than half-an-hour of music. Though critically well received at the time, commercial success did not arrive till nearly 30 years later, when 30 seconds of 'Pink Moon' was used in a Volkswagen commercial.
