Nick Drake ''Five Leaves Left'' LP (180 Gram)

Poverty-stricken students of 1968 rolled their own cigarettes, usually in Rizla papers which kindly reminded the participant that they were about to run out, with a yellow interleaf paper with bold red type stating Only Five Leaves Left. This first studio album from Nick Drake, which has garnered posthumous praise and remarkable all-time greatest album ratings, is an exact replica of the original 1969 release: it is pressed on heavyweight audiophile vinyl and remastered (2012) from near-original master tapes by the album's original engineer, John Wood. Presenting autumnal stylings not traditional enough to be folk but not weird enough to be psychedelic, Drake avoided the pitfalls of what was expected and released an almost unique record to a largely indifferent media.
