Wow, never heard of it. Thanks for the post!
I assume it was recorded in the late '90s? Does anyone have any info about this?

did a quick search of the forum and found this. man in the shadows was pretty reliable with his intel so i have no doubt that “Clothes of Sand” is also out there. He likely recorded Parasite at the same time for the same album. Just my hypothesis. Edit to add: i overlooked that the producer credit on parasite is indeed Joe Boyd so this must be from the same album. I think a lot of Nick Drake's work would loose it's charm and mysticism if someone else sang them, because his voice really had that effect, for me at least. I thought Beck's version of Parasite was excellent, and Pink Moon was OK if not wonderful. Should also be pointed out that Mr. Lanegan has already recorded Clothes of Sand for a Joe Boyd-produced Nick tribute album (other artists reportedly included Kate Bush and Paul Weller), but it's not looking too likely to see a release  |

more info on this album that never happened: katebush.proboards.com/thread/2590/nick-drake-tribute-albumNick Drake tribute album Vedder, Grohl to pay tribute to Nick Drake LONDON (Billboard) – Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Norah Jones are among the acts confirmed for a tribute album to influential English singer-songwriter Nick Drake, who died in 1974. The set will be released by musician Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records, and Johnson also will also perform on the album. The announcement was made during the MidemNet music industry conference in Cannes, France, by David Schulhof, whose company, EverGreen Copyrights, controls the rights to Drake's work. The recording process was filmed for release as part of a DVD package. It will also include the late actor Heath Ledger's version of the song "Black Eyed Dog," filmed in late 2007 for a multimedia installation about Drake but never officially released. Drake was little known when he died of a drug overdose at age 26. But his influence has mushroomed in the ensuing decades, and his profile received an astronomical boost when his song "Pink Moon" was used in a Volkswagen ad in 2000. Mon Jan 19 2009 news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090120/music_nm/us_drake;_ylt=AigdKDnR67KuwmB0YfO7EQyXExkF 1997 Nick Drake tribute album? December: There are rumours that Kate could be appearing on a tribute album to the late English singer-songwriter Nick Drake released in 1998. An album of this kind was rumoured to feature Kate a few years ago but never surfaced. The album may be produced by Joe Boyd who was Nick's friend and producer and who has also worked with Kate when she collaborated with the Trio Bulgarka. Mark Lanegan, the singer with The Screaming Trees is said to have recorded Clothes Of Sand for this record. Brian Kennedy, Paul Buchanan (the singer with The Blue Nile) and Paul Weller are also rumoured to be involved. So far most of this information stems from an interview given by Kate St. John (ex-Dream Academy) who is said to be co-producing the tribute. A biography of Nick (who died at the age of 27 in 1974) by Patrick Humphries has just been published, the anthology Way To Blue has been reissued and a recent Irish Times article says that "there are advanced plans for a tribute album and a documentary". www.katebushnews.com/leaving.htm |

I sent an email to Dana Kletter yesterday (you can contact her on Bandcamp) and she replied today: Now I wonder if Mark really recorded Clothes of Sand back then like the rumors said or if it was only this song. |

On the general tribute album, there's actually 2 referenced above.
The one that was listed for years in Raeni's discography on this site (mentioning Clothes of Sand) was the one Joe Boyd put together back in the day, the Grohl/Vedder one was a later project. Neither have been released, and probably now never will be.
Nick's estate is managed by his sister Gabrielle, and she's very protective. Not a bad thing, as this means that special editions etc have been kept to a minimum (although the contract Joe got for Nick when he sold Witchseason to Island meant that his 3 albums will never be out of print) and there's still the odd little surprise every few years or so.
Hard to say what happened with the first album, I guess as it came hot on the heels of a surge of interest and she just said no, or not yet, and it faded away (plus if it had the likes of Kate Bush on there, licencing would have been a pain). The later one was binned after Heath Ledger's death.
They might appear at some point, these things do have a habit of appearing out of the vaults. But as there was another one released earlier this year, they're probably in the same drawer as his Top Gear session and the masters of when a young Elton John did a BBC session of Nick's songs instead of plugging his own.
