A list of Nick Drake's released recordings

I couldn't find an up-to-date list of Nick Drake recordings that included all the latest releases (Family Tree, The John Peel Sessions, the A Day Gone By bootleg) so I've compiled one myself.

It is roughly chronological, not exact. For example it includes all demos for songs that would appear on an album in the relevant album section, even if they were recorded at different times.

All unofficial recordings are printed in italics and are given the track number where they appear on the most complete Nick Drake bootleg, A Day Gone By from Rover Records, except for two instrumentals which appear on other bootlegs.

All songs are composed by Nick Drake unless indicated in square brackets after the song title.

If you have any corrections let me know.

NOTE: many sources claim that Nick Drake played guitar on two songs on Mick Audsley's album 'Dark and Devil Waters'. However Mick Audsley has stated in the book 'Remembered For A While' (Page 443) that Nick did not play on the album.
