Nick Drake’s final two studio albums — 1970’s Bryter Layter and 1972’s Pink Moon — have each been reissued as deluxe vinyl box sets recently, and soon the folk legend’s 1969 debut, Five Leaves Left, will follow suit.
As Exclaim points out, Island Records will re-release Drake’s first LP on July 2. The remastered full-length will be pressed on heavyweight vinyl and come with a reproduction of the album’s original packaging, as well as several bonus items, including handwritten lyrics, a poster, and an MP3 download of the record. All of this will reportedly be housed in a clamshell box. Right now it looks like the upcoming reissue won’t feature any bonus tracks — just the same 10 classic songs fans have been delving into for more than 40 years.
