Megan Sue Hicks - Marantha

180-gram vinyl

Megan Sue Hicks — Marantha 

Maranatha (1972) is the sole LP by American singer-songwriter 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.

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.
