Notes

Yorkshire’s Moonkyte only made one album, and – though it was supported by John Peel, who wrote the effusive sleevenotes – it sank without trace when it appeared on the tiny Mother label in 1971. Now, with originals changing hands for hundreds of pounds, Sunbeam is giving it its first official reissue, showing it to be a great lost British acid folk gem and an absolute treat for all lovers of acid folk and psychedelia. ‘One of the most engaging and consistently surprising British acid-folk LPs. Reference points are Forest, COB and the Incredible String Band, though Moonkyte is further from folk and deeper into damaged drug-experimentation than any of them. A thoroughly marvellous slice of early 70s acid-folk strangeness’
