About

There are few releases that bear Nick Drake’s name, with only three lifetime albums under his belt, and the scantest of studio recordings, demos, radio tracks, etc his legacy was almost on a par with that of one of his heroes - Robert Johnson. However, a new boot has just emerged on Rover records featuring what could be the last word on the home recordings by the folk troubadour. “A Day Gone By” features numerous upgrades, new to circulation variants and session tracks that feature Nick’s playing that the estate of Nick Drake are not willing to release. Justifiably, some of the sources used previously to Nick Drake bootlegs and grey area recordings showed diminishing returns but this release promises the best of what’s out there.
