Megan Sue Hicks – Maranatha (LP)

A holy grail for collectors of rare folk, ‘Maranatha‘ (1972) is the sole LP by American singer-songwriter Megan Sue Hicks. With only 200 copies ever pressed by Warner Australia, it ranks among the most elusive treasures of the early ’70s folk-rock scene. Its introspective lyrics, haunting vocals, and delicate acoustic arrangements evoke the spirit of Vashti Bunyan and Judee Sill, while its songs weave pure emotion into slightly off-kilter musical shapes.

A deeply personal and spiritually tinged folk masterpiece, ‘Maranatha’ is more than a record – it’s a rare artifact of a lost moment in music history. The prices on Discogs regularly topping GBP400.
