- Track 2 is "I Was Made to Love Magic" from Time of No Reply, sped-up, with a posthumously added string arrangement by Robert Kirby
- Tracks 3 and 6 are Cambridge-era dorm demos (spring 1968)
- Track 7 is a different take than the version originally released on Time of No Reply (July 1974)
- Track 8 is a different take than the version originally released on Five Leaves Left, and features Rebop Kwaku Baah on congas (March 1969)
- Track 10 is a remastered version of "Voice from the Mountain" from Time of No Reply
- Track 11 has a posthumously added string arrangement by Robert Kirby
- Track 13 is possibly the last song Drake ever committed to tape (July 1974)
Personnel
Nick Drake performs vocals and acoustic guitar on all songs, except where indicated otherwise.
gollark: Hmm, that's fairly usable if I allow stuff to wrap more.
gollark: I'm pretty sure it's possible if I invoke enough dark bee gods via CSS.
gollark: Ew. No. Besides, everything except the index page works fine on mobile.
gollark: Maybe I should just drop the text size, swap the actual timestamps for "4d ago" or something, and fiddle with the wrapping, and also do that.
gollark: Admittedly in this situation it's mostly an issue because I don't have "show threads with content I haven't seen yet".
