‘One of the most blissfully, unapologetically stoned records ever made. Yet whilst serious amounts of dope and acid plainly went into its creation, the songs are crisp, concise, melodic and accessible’ - Galactic Ramble
‘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’ – Ptolemaic Terrascope
‘Count Me Out has a tangential similarity to the work of The Incredible String Band and like-minded acts in its bemused aura, odd and sometimes surreal lyrics, and hints of exoticism, prominently using harmonium as well as a bit of sitar. It’s more rock-oriented, however’ – allmusic.com
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 late 1971. Now, with originals having changed hands for over £1000, Sunbeam is giving it its first ever vinyl reissue, complete with lovingly reproduced die-cut artwork, a replica inner sleeve and a separate insert detailing the band’s history, complete with rare photographs. It’s nothing short of a British acid folk classic, and is in a strictly limited edition of 500 copies.
