Nick Drake Bryter Layter CD Album 2004 remastered in Digi sleeve on Island

Bryter Layter is Nick Drake’s radiant second album — a richly arranged blend of folk‑rock, jazz inflections, and pastoral melancholy. Originally released in 1970, it showcases Drake at his most expansive, pairing his intimate songwriting with contributions from members of Fairport Convention, John Cale, and a host of top‑tier session players.

This UK remastered CD reissue comes housed in a cardboard gatefold sleeve produced by Arvato, offering a tactile, faithful presentation of one of British folk’s most cherished recordings. From the breezy optimism of “Hazey Jane II” to the luminous “Northern Sky,” the album remains a cornerstone of Drake’s small but timeless catalogue.
