    This is truly a fantastic pressing. The instrument separation is really outstanding. Echoing all the good reviews on here, this is worth every penny.

      Fantastic sounding pressing. This is a midrange beast—Nick’s voice sounds almost holographic. The whole time I listened I thought I was listening with a tube system (mine is purely solid state). Overall I’d describe this as warm and inviting. Makes you want to crank it. Highly recommend. Mine didn’t come with a download code.

        Nick Drake's music is oddly therapeutic for me. When I'm depressed, I sometimes listen to his music, and I usually feel better. I don't know why this is, but it is what it is, and I am grateful. "Northern Sky" gets me every time...."would you love me through the winter, would you love me till i'm dead, oh if you would and you could..." BRYTER LAYTER is an exquisitely beautiful album, and this pressing does it justice. Lush, detailed, intimate, majestic...just a wonderful sounding record.

            Ok this exceeded my expectations! Lush, deep, and layered. Really brings out the fullness of the lush arrangements. Gorgeous sounding record!

              This release is a great one! No cracks or pops and the sound is just beautiful. Love the textured sleeve. All in all a quality record.

                Amazing release, the sound is absolutely beautiful. It is the same pressing as the box set and all those reviews there are evidence that this is a great pressing. Now I'll just have to get Pink Moon an Five Leaves

                  This all analogue record is still available in record shops for RRP.

                  Sounds incredible. Even has a textured sleeve and a replica of the original inner sleeve.

                  It's almost too good to be true.

                    Amazing sounding AAA like pressing...for $25 new?
                    Grab this audiophile sounding bargain while you can!
                    With the warmth, detail and holographic soundstage, I have to think this came from an analog tape and not a DSD file.
                    (no Back to Black sticker, no download)

                      This sounds incredible. The mastering and press quality are top notch. Highly recommended and recently back in stock at Acoustic Sounds.
