Nick Drake was a favourite of Rupert’s and he mentions this album in the forthcoming book:
“I can’t understate how much I learned and experienced whilst making albums at A.I.R. Studios.
The business set up was to put creative people into the same space, mixing them up with technical
people (rather than having isolated one-man-band productions)…he goes on to list several producer/
artist pairings and albums that struck a chord, including: …”Nick Drake’s “Five Leaves Left” which
quietly changed my life.”
