MOONKYTE 'Count Me Out' LP (UK, Sunbeam, Catalogue #SBRLP5006) Brand new/unplayed copy of Sunbeam label limited LP edition (edition of 500 copies only, and with replicated die-cut cover) of ultra rare 1971 UK psych LP by Moonkyte.

(NOTE: LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES ONLY!)

'Yorkshire's Moonkyte only made one album, and -- though it was supported by John Peel, who wrote the effusive sleevenotes -- it sank without a trace when it appeared on the tiny Mother label in 1971. Now, with originals having having change hands for over 1000 pounds, Sunbeam is giving it its first-ever vinyl reissue, complete with lovingly-reproduced die-cut artwork, a replica inner sleeve and a seperate insert detailing the band's history, complete with rare photographs. It's nothing short of a British acid folk classic, and it is issued in a strictly limited edition of 500 copies only.'

'This is 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. Most are good; my favourites are the catchy 'It's The Same Thing', sitar-driven 'Way Out Hermit' (sample lyric: Won't you give me God's address / If love is heaven sent?') pretty 'Lost Weekend' and wasted 'Jelly Man'. The sleeve, which features a die-cut church spire, must have cost a fortune to produce and is very hard to find intact.' - Richard Morton Jack/Galactic Ramble

'One of the most engaging and consitently surprising British acid-folk LPs. Reference points are Forest, COB and the Incredible Sting 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
