Unlike many of his contemporaries, Nick’s legacy has been
untainted by the constant re-issue of his songs. Island
founder Chris Blackwell resisted any attempt at compiling
songs from his studio albums until the release of the
short-lived ‘Heaven In A Wildflower’ album in 1985,
preferring to keep his low-selling three albums constantly
on catalogue.

The wish to spread Nick’s music to a wider audience dictated
the need for a single CD selection that could act as a
‘taster’. ‘Way To Blue – An Introduction To Nick Drake’
became a hugely successful worldwide release that also
spawned a whole series of ‘Introductions To:’ releases by
other artists. Though it was compiled by Nick’s producer Joe
Boyd, the series was launched by Art Director Cally at
Island Records, originally as a series hoping to focus
attention on Nick, John Martyn, Sandy Denny and John Cale,
artists who couldn’t merit the title ‘Greatest Hits’ (they
had none) but all of whom needed a quick and easy way in to
their music. This series went on to dwarf these initial 5
titles so it has been decided to revisit the idea of a Nick
Drake compilation.

Nick’s original producer and engineer, John Wood, has
remixed and remastered all the songs as 5.1 surround
versions and the release (on SACD) also comes with the
original stereo remastered versions so that it is playable
on any CD player.

The selection of songs fully reflects the many facets of
Nick’s music opening with ‘Introduction’ an instrumental
Nick was particularly proud of. It includes all of his
best-known material, the many songs that have appeared in
film and on TV, plus his two recent single releases: ‘Magic’
and ‘River Man’.

The compilation is available on SACD and as a single vinyl
edition. The UK CD version has a special added treat as a
‘thankyou’ to all the fans, old and new, who may have bought
the older compilation but who may want this new one as well!

Fans outside Britain may want to keep their eyes open on the
Apple iTunes sight for a similar treat.
