‘Count Me Out’ was released in 1971 on the Mother label and was distributed by EMI. Unknown to the band BBC radio DJ Emperor Rosko was the label owner. Some have said that he was trying to jump on a John Peel bandwagon but if he was he failed miserably. John Peel, however, did write the extensive sleevenotes. He had a love of the North of England, particularly as his wife came from Shipley in West Yorkshire. The lovely, and sadly missed, man played the occasional Moonkyte track on radio.
Moonkyte didn’t gig much following the release of Count Me Out. Holding it all together onstage was not their speciality.
Moonkytes music is often described as Acid-Folk or Psychedelic Folk. The album is, all in all, a strong effort, one much deserving of attention. Case in point: ‘Girl Who Came Out of My Head’, a song so good that I am amazed it has not popped up elsewhere. This cut is the finest cohesion of what Moonkyte offers. All of the elements that are present over the course of the entire album are fully realized here. Between the swaying harmonium, rich, multi-tracked backing vocals and a striking, ethereal sounding female vocal making a brief appearance, we have a diamond here.
