I believe so, there are a few tracks on this one that aren't on the Tamworth collection, but there are also songs on here that aren't on Tamworth.

Quoted from BlueMeanie

The song is 'Tow The Line' and the album is 'Made To Love Magic':

And if you really want to know everything, there's a biography by Patrick Humphries - 'Nick Drake: The Biography'

One more thing, if you're an Elton John fan. Elton recorded 4 Nick Drake songs in 1970 - 'The Sweet Suggestions of the Pink Moon':

Thank you BlueMeanie ,i saw this album so their's another one to get , is Blackeyed Dog and the last song's he did on Made to Love Magic ? as i would like to hear those last songs he did before he died.
This new album of demo's is it called Family Tree ?
Thank you for all the info BlueMeanie , im really loving Nicks work

Yeah It's called Family Tree. Amazingly you would think because of Drake's state of mind during the recording of Black Eyed Dog and Tow The Line, the songs would be dreary and bare just like Pink Moon, but I thought it was rather up beat and still very good. I think every one of his albums are very good and my favorite depends on the mood I'm in.

Coincidently, I'm listening to Nick Drake's 'Northern Sky' right now, when I stumbled upon this!

I think he is amazing, and the music really reaches the soul (however corny..).
I have to be in the right mood to listen to him though, but when I am, it is perfect! There are certain moments when you can just hear the genuis, so real - Like Jeff Buckley.   Also, biking Along in the pitch black to 'river man' whilst stoned, is the most amazing thing ever!

His best album?? IMO, Five leaves left, or Pink Moon.

Bryter Layter sold just 15.000 copies during Nick Drake's life. It's sad that he died before people started appreciating his work.

This is the bit i can't get my head round Joost ,why Nick sold so little in his lifetime when the quality of those first two albums is so very good .
What were people listening to in 1970 that was better ? i just don't understand his lack of sales , i mean look how someone like James Blunt sells today ,Back To Bedlam as sold millions and although i quite like James Blunt , i bet he would give anything to create an album like Five Leaves Left , it just does'nt make sense to me

I LOVE "Day is Done"

I read White Bicycle by his manager (Joe Boyd). Nick was very introverted and incredably difficult to work with. His refusal (or inability, depending on how you look at it) to play live didn't help.
Nick himself was frustrated at his lack of sales. He pointed to Leonard Cohen, who had massive sales, also without ever having played live. He seemed to blame poor management.

Yep, he rarely played live due to stage fright. I remember a story of him walking off stage at the Festival Hall in a complete mess. That kind of music didn't sell truckloads, and you needed to play live to make a living and to spread the word because you were unlikely to have a hit single that would help to promote you, and the only DJ that played your records wasn't on until 10 at night. John Martyn used to play 250 gigs a year, which is why he made it, and Nick Drake didn't.

rare live footage of "Nick" at a 70's Folk Festival

Thanks JMF. Imagine my disappointment when I watched the last on of those links

I've heard that there's no known video of Nick...such a shame.

Quoted from 679

is Blackeyed Dog and the last song's he did on Made to Love Magic ? as i would like to hear those last songs he did before he died.

Both on Made To Love Magic. The album also has a different version of 3 Hours with Rebop Kwaku Baah on congas, and the orchestrated version of Time Of No Reply. Well worth it.

Thanks for your helpful info everydody , it's becoming a bit clearer as to why he did'nt sell so well in his lifetime.
And i can see if he was unable to perform live it would difficulte to promote him.
Maybe if he had been born a decade later than he was, and was begining his career in the 80's he would have been able to make use of MTV and video's .
Much like Kate Bush was able to do as she's only toured once back in 79, and she's managed to have a different career to what is the norm .
The more im learning about Nick the more fascinating he becomes

I was reading "10 Things You Didn't Know about Heath Ledger" and I certainly didn't know #3 on the list which was.

Quoted Text

3. He was obsessed with Nick Drake.

Nick Drake was a British singer/songwriter who died in 1974 at age 26 after overdosing on antidepressants. One of Ledger's final artistic statements was a music video for Drake's song "Black Eyed Dog" that he directed and in which he starred. At the end of the clip, Heath depicts himself drowning in a bathtub.
