Maranatha
Maranatha is the sole LP by Megan Sue Hicks, regarded as a “holy grail” of psychedelic folk. With only 200 copies ever pressed by Warner Australia, it stands among the rarest treasures of early ’70s folk-rock. Now reissued as a deluxe 180-gram edition including the original artwork.
Megan was an American living in Australia in 1972 when she recorded this album.
The album blends tender folk sensibilities, delicate arrangements, and introspective lyrics reminiscent of artists like Joni Mitchell and Vashti Bunyan. Highlights include the stunning “Hey, Can You Come Out And Play”, the mesmerizing “Prefaced With Maybe”, and the bittersweet “A Continent And A Million Miles Away”. An essential rediscovery for folk enthusiasts and record collectors.
