From the first take to the last, discover the making of Nick Drake’s timeless music.

Nick Drake’s life was tragically cut short, but he left behind three cherished albums, along with home recordings, studio outtakes and two radio broadcasts.

Drawing on memories from those involved, previously unavailable archival material, and numerous contemporary sources, this essential volume includes technical information (dates, locations, personnel, instruments, recording equipment, and guitar tunings), musical analysis, and the production stories behind over 150 recordings. With an introduction by Richard Morton Jack and dozens of photos (many previously unpublished), Nick’s music is documented here in unprecedented detail.
