These came out when I was in High School-I was the music maven in my family, but my younger sister somehow discovered and loved Drake, took me years to catch on (she doesn't remember this, I'm scarred for life... 😉
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:32pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - The original releases?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:35pm
Funky16Corners:

I used to imagine that this song was about a vampire....
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:37pm
Funky16Corners:

Three hours from sundown
Jeremy flies
Hoping to keep
The sun from his eyes
East from the city
And down to the cave
In search of a master
In search of a slave

The tracks on this album that feature bass and drums are playd by Dave Pegg and Dave Mattacks of Fairport Convention. Richard Thompson also contributes electric guitar.

Love this one. Larry’s brother used to play this, no?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:03pm
Funky16Corners:

I think so.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:04pm
doctorjazz:

It was the early 70s, Larry, so they must have been the original issues. Not sure where they are now, weren't in my mom's house when she passed away (or I'd have them), my sister doesn't remember all this, as I said, doesn't have them 😔
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05pm
Funky16Corners:

That's pretty cool. I can't imagine there were too many Drake fans here in the US on the first go round. Way ahead of the curve.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:05pm
Funky16Corners:

The original albums are very hard to come by. The only one I ever had was Pink Moon.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:06pm
Funky16Corners:

Northern Sky featuring John Cale on keyboards.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:07pm
doctorjazz:

I tell you, I have no idea how she found him (she didn't listen to a ton of music), and I've never recovered. Thank goodness she doesn't remember it!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:08pm
Brian in UK:

Hello Larry. Guess he would never believe that fifty years later he would be more popular than when these tracks were released. Though I am not sure that popularity was his raison d'etre.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:09pm
Funky16Corners:

Hey Brian! For a guy who was pathologically reluctant to perform in public, I'm guessing fame was way in the background.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:10pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - The first Drake record to come out in the US was a 1971 compilation of tracks from his first two albums just called 'Nick Drake'. Pink Moon is the only one of his records to get an initial US release.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:11pm
Brian in UK:

Apologies if I have mentioned this before but five leaves left refers to the end of a Rizla packet to let you know to buy some more.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm
Stanley:

Wotcha Brian. You got the Rizlas?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm
Funky16Corners:

I'm glad you brought that up. It was years after I bought the record that I learned that.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:12pm
Funky16Corners:

Hi Stanley!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:13pm
Brian in UK:

Hey Stanley. Nick Drake did like to skin up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:13pm
Stanley:

Hi Funky. yeah, you got a little pink slip as a reminder. I think it was pink, it's been a long time I had 'skins'.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:15pm
Funky16Corners:

I don't recall the US Rizla papers having that warning, but considering the context, it's a miracle I remember anything at all.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:17pm
Brian in UK:

I think that Chris Blackwell at Island was an English version of Elektra. Kind of.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:18pm
Funky16Corners:

Island was pretty hip, with its roots in Jamaican music, then moving on to prog and folk rock.

Nick Drake is perfect for this cold Misty New Jersey day

Brian - I see you've got the Howard 350 out.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:26pm
doctorjazz:

I don't remember which album it was, it could have been a bit later in the 70s.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:26pm
doctorjazz:

I have a vague recollection of Five Leaves Left being in the house.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:28pm

Lovely show, Larry, will have to catch the rest on the archives. Later everyone Peace and love, y'all

Rats, I missed Clive Gregson's cover in the first set. A brilliant singer and songwriter, an overlooked artist if there ever was one.

I saw Clive Gregson/Christine Collister with Richard Thompson, seems like a kazillion years ago.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:46pm

They toured together a bunch

And Stryker, seen him a number of times (including a guitar clinic he gave in a guitar shop in my town of Westfield), terrific guitar slinger!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:47pm
Brian in UK:

Remember seeing Clive Gregson playing in Nanci Griffith's band at WOMAD. His first band Any Trouble were good too.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:48pm
Funky16Corners:

@Doc - I only learned of Stryker this year. I want to dig into hia discography.
