Nick Drake - Second Grace

I do not intend to write about Nick Drake here, except to echo the common view held by so many, who have come across his music down the years, of 'what could have been'.

His short life is well documented HERE, and I would only end up copy and pasting excerpts, so spend a few minutes at Wikipedia if you choose.

His three studio albums remain firm favorites of mine, and fall into that very special 'timeless' category.

The unofficial releases of Nick Drake tend to be demo's and home recordings, as is the case of 'Second Grace'.

Bootlegs in circulation include 'Tamworth-In-Arden', 'Complete Home Recordings' and variations on that theme.

Second Grace has appeared in at least three different forms, this version is originally from a 25 track CD circulated by 'Mirrorglass Music'.

These are home recordings probably at Tamworth and possibly Hampstead, and cover all three album releases in part, along with some unreleased tracks.

The sound quality is very good and the tracks that also appeared on 'Tamworth-In-Arden' are of a much higher quality.
