Fruit Tree

~ Release by Nick Drake (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Annotation

Note that Pink Moon possibly differs from the original release in the order of tracks 8 and 9. (Free Ride is possibly titled Ride.)

FIXME: The linked Discogs release shows 4 bonus tracks for the third medium, which is a definite mistake on their part.
