It was fifty years ago today … where flowers grew and the sun shone still

where flowers grew and the sun shone still

Nick Drake only made three albums, of which this was his last.  But it hasn’t stopped both him, and the albums, achieving cult status.  Even so, none of them made the charts until some 40 years after his death, and then only for a short time.  Doesn’t stop them from being classics, however.

Album: Pink Moon
Artist: Nick Drake
Released:  25th February 1972
Weeks in UK Album Chart: 3
Highest Chart Position: 27
