This incredible album, whos original pressings change hands for around $400, will be re-issued as an audiophile pressing, on 180 gram virgin vinyl! Nick Drakes third and final album, many consider to be his finest work, 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 thirty years later, when thirty seconds of Pink Moon was used in a Volkswagen commercial, resulting in a wave of awareness and appreciation for Drake. Its impossible to keep count of the contemporary artists who cite Drake as an inspiration, but a cursory round-up includes R.E.M., Snow Patrol, Norah Jones, Radiohead, Brad Pitt, Sam Mendes, Paul Weller, Travis, Portishead, The Coral, Coldplay, Heath Ledger, David Gray, Super Furry Animals and Beth Orton. Along with household names of his creative lifetime the Stones, The Beatles, Marley, Hendrix his albums have become an unofficial set text for anyone passionate about music.
