VARIOUS ARTISTS Gather In The Mushrooms | The British Folk Underground 1969-1975 (2025 UK/EU limited edition 19-track double album 2-LP on black vinyl. Curated by author and Saint Etienne's own Bob Stanley, Gather In The Mushrooms is a hauntingly evocative survey of Britain's acid folk underground - originally issued on CD in 2004 and now reissued for the first time on vinyl. This definitive new edition draws from both the original Gather In The Mushrooms and its 2006 follow-up Early Morning Hush, while adding key tracks by Roy Harper, Fotheringay, and C.O.B. previously unavailable for licensing. This is a deeply atmospheric listen, capturing the rustic magic, introspective melancholy, and untamed spirit of a generation that rejected mainstream modernity in favour of caravans, tents, white stone cottages, and a connection to older, stranger ways of living. The selections range from the delicate minimalism of Vashti Bunyan and Anne Briggs to the eerie improvisations of Comus, with rare and privately pressed tracks by Midwinter, Oberon, and Forest adding an archival richness. More than just a folk compilation, Gather In The Mushrooms offers a window into a lost England of handmade sound and communal dreams - a vital reference point for the 2000s neo-folk revival and a spellbinding listen in its own right.
