{"product_id":"nick-drake-made-to-love-magic","title":"Nick Drake - Made to Love Magic","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade to Love Magic gathers the last unheard corners of Nick Drake's slim catalogue into one quietly devastating compilation, first released in 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrake made three albums before his death in 1974, none of which sold in his lifetime, and his reputation has only grown since. This set, overseen with longtime producer Joe Boyd, collects outtakes, alternate versions and early recordings from 1968 to 1974, offering a closer look at a songwriter who said very little and played with extraordinary delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRider on the Wheel opens the record with the urgent, rolling picking of his final sessions. River Man appears in an early solo acoustic version recorded in Cambridge, stripped of its famous strings and all the more intimate for it. Magic is given a lush orchestral setting, while Tow the Line, taken from his last session in July 1974, was unheard before this release and remains one of the most poignant things he ever recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rest moves between bedsit sketches and fuller arrangements, held together by that soft, unhurried voice and guitar tunings that seem to bend the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who has worn out Pink Moon, this is the essential next step: a slender, haunting companion that deepens the mystery rather than solving it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453142278449,"sku":"602547000552","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Nick_Drake-Made_to_Love_Magic.jpg?v=1794228116","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/nick-drake-made-to-love-magic","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
