EIDT: Nothing more to add? Good, I'll move it back. Thanks.

I'll stop those best track comments. I really enjoy this album. While not as good as Pink Moon, I still really like this one. Nick Drake is one of my favorite singer-songwriters. This song In paricular is a standout:

^ Also, what is an "eidt"?

I won't bore you with the history.

Agree, prefer Pink Moon (& Bryter Layter) but this album has some nice tracks too (I particularly like River Man). An eidt is what happens when you try to type on your cell phone!

It's my favorite Nick Drake album right now (yes, I've stopped lying to myself and added it to my chart).

"Day Is Done" was the first song I ever heard by Nick and I fell in love with it.
The guitar on the album is amazing, the strings are beautiful, and this is a debut album (!).

Saturday Sun, Three Hours, River Man.... astounding album !
