Originally released in 1969 'Five Leaves Left' was largely overlooked by critics and music fans at the time - a fate that was to befall his subsequent two studio albums. Unfortunately, Nick Drake didn't live to see his reputation as one of the finest singer-songwriters Britain has ever produced develop. Nevertheless, 'Five Leaves Left' is now widely regarded as one of the most significant debut albums of all time.

ReviewsRanked #74 in Nme's List of the 'greatest Albums of All Time.', "The mesmerising beauty of such songs as 'Way To Blue' and 'Time Has Told Me' perfectly evoke a world of peaceful rumination far from all the city madness.", "On his ageless debut, everything - Drake's lispy voice and delicate guitar fingerpicking, arranger Robert Kirby's stately strings - feels shrouded in mist....Drake's most glorious miniatures." - Rating: A, "...Represents the first flourish of promise....God, how damn confident it all sounds. He knew how good he was...", Included in Q Magazine's Best Folk Albums of All Time - "...The pinnacle of a melancholy canon of work so distinctive that admirers can only speculate miserably on what might have been.", "...With a voice paradoxically feather-light and grave, one of the most beautiful and melancholy albums ever recorded..."

  • Nick Drake

    Happy with purchase. Even though it was in a cardboard cover that had a crushed corner.
