Shopping Shortlist｜ Other Products ｜Nick Drake: Bryter Layter Vinyl LP

"Five Leaves Left follow-up Bryter Layter, somewhat influenced by Nick Drake’s love of William Blake, again employed a select crew, in fact, a quite remarkable backdrop. Fairport Convention's rhythm section Dave Pegg and Dave Mattacks were joined by John Cale on celeste, harpsichord piano and organ and Beach Boys session men, the bass guitarist Ed Carter and drummer Mike Kowalski, who dropped by Sound Techniques Studio to join in the folk baroque ensemble after playing in London with the surf brothers. While Drake never seemed completely satisfied with his albums he should have been. This one contains the masterpieces ‘Hazey Jane I/II’ and the glorious love song ‘Northern Sky’, which would be the basis for The Dream Academy’s worldwide hit ‘Life In A Northern Town’ (1985)." - Island
