The Magic Forest - More Pastoral Psychedelia and Funky Folk 1968-1975

Follow up to the 2022 release Deep In The Woods curated by Richard Norris (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve/The Grid). The sequel, The Magic Forest, is another triple CD set assembling rare cuts and cult favorites from the worlds of psychedelic, pastoral, and funky folk from 1968-1975.

Boasting some overlooked gems from long collectible acts such as Mellow Candle, Forest, Agincourt, Knocker Jungle, Zior, and many more. Housed in a 3 CD digipack in a striking wraparound collage by Lyndon Pike. Celebrating the collision of traditional folk with new psychedelic studio techniques, new and exotic textures, and a developing groove. It's a wide and broad range of styles, drawing from folk, its oral storytelling tradition, and also from jazz, beat, rhythm and blues, and the more mind-opening sounds of psychedelia.
