Description

Nick Drake’s luminous second album, Bryter Layter, expands the pastoral intimacy of Five Leaves Left into a more orchestrated, jazz-inflected soundscape. This digitally remastered reissue, supervised by original engineer John Wood, is pressed on standard black vinyl and housed in a replica sleeve with updated mastering fidelity.

Featuring contributions from members of Fairport Convention, John Cale (Velvet Underground), and Beach Boys session players, the album blends melancholic lyricism with lush arrangements. Tracks like Northern Sky and Fly have become cult classics, emblematic of Drake’s quiet genius and enduring influence.
