General notes about this release (please note: our version may differ a little. see the comments above):
Recorded in the 1960s at Nick's home and in Aix En Provence in France, 'Family Tree' presents recordings that precede his three studio albums: 'Five Leaves Left', 'Bryter Layter', and 'Pink Moon'. These are period amateur home recordings that capture the sketches of a burgeoning songwriting genius as he learns his trade. The songs range from the early influential songs by his mother Molly Drake, through to recordings made by his colleague and arranger Robert Kirby at Cambridge University in 1968. They are presented here in their raw Lo-Fidelity original condition, re-mastered by Nick's sound engineer John Wood. Unless otherwise noted: all songs performed by Nick Drake on vocals with guitar or piano accompaniment. Marketed in the US by Adam Katz at Tsunami LG, with grateful thanks to Matt, Andy, Bruce, Fiona, and in the UK by Pru Harris for Island records, London, with grateful thanks to Nick Gatfield, David Sharpe, Jon Turner, David Hawkes, Nicky Ibbitson, Andrew Daw. Invaluable assistance and guidance from John Wood, Robin Frederick, Robert Kirby, Gabrielle Drake, Louis de Wet, Joe Boyd, Gavin Bush, The Estate Of Keith Morris, Jason and Nik, Donna Ranieri (New York). The designer wishes to credit 'Me and Betty Jean' by Chapman / Whitney in the creation of the title and front cover. Scanned and assembled at PDQ (Bungay).
