Start here
A gorgeous, string-laced debut of melancholy English folk, understated and beautifully arranged. A grower that becomes essential. One of the genre's most affecting records. The 1969 record that made the case for Nick Drake.
On vinyl: Originals are widely faked and graded inconsistently — stick with a trusted reissue.
