What you say No-one has reviewed Fruit Tree by Nick Drake yet. Give us your opinion on Fruit Tree by Nick Drake. What we say This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic. Check out the Nick Drake box set. Man this is tasty. For those who missed out on Fruit Tree originally (will cost you a mint now) you can get a lovely new repackaged version of it. The box consists of Drakes 3 glorious albums, 'Five Leaves Left' (Genius), 'Bryter Layter' (his pop album) and 'Pink Moon' (angsty more difficult 3rd album) as well as a 50 minute documentary on DVD called A Skin Too Few AND a 100 page book crammed with tidbits and filthy morsels. I saw the film a while back and it's what got me into his music. I left the screening in tears.... his music really does move me like no other. For anyone into folk music you need this like you need food. Five Leaves Left is the most incredible album.... all 3 are totally great. An extremely important document in British folk music. 'Fruit Tree' would make an ace Christmas present. What the label says: The box set consists of the three albums; Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later and Pink Moon, a DVD of ‘A Skin Too Few’ a BBC documentary, and a premium booklet.

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
