On February the 25th 1972, Island Records released Nick Drake's third and final album, Pink Moon, to a largely disinterested press and public. The initial 3,000 pressings sold poorly but never quite sold out, and Island kept the title on catalogue up until interest started to grow in Drake in the early 1990s.
Interest exploded when Volkswagen used the title track to promote their new Cabriolet in the USA in the late 90s. Nick's poorest-selling album became a best-seller and the interest in all of his tiny canon blossomed. Pink Moon was transferred onto CD and the original vinyl ran its course later being deleted.
40 years on, we re-present the album in an exactly replicated vinyl pressing, re-mastered by the original co-producer and engineer; John Wood at Abbey Road.
