Mastered at Abbey Road Studios, 180g. Insert with new portraits. Strictly limited edition. Three Black Feathers Records are proud to present the definitive collectors' edition of Once In A Blue Moon, the cult 1996 album that was the nearest she ever got to a solo album in her lifetime, recorded with and produced by her son, Oliver Knight. Haunting, otherworldy and sometimes disquieting, Waterson's songs are like a missing link between Anne Briggs and Joanna Newsom. This lost classic has acquired semi-legendary status among some of the more celebrated protagonists of the 'nu' folk community. Lal Waterson died in September 1998 at the age of 55, midway through recording a follow-up to the album. Once In A Blue Moon has been remastered by Steve Rooke at Abbey Road, and pressed on high-quality 180 gram vinyl for the ultimate in audiophile quality. It contains a new interview with Oliver Knight about his memories of working with his mother on the record, as well as a rare photo archive of Waterson, both with the Watersons and in later recording/domestic settings. The release includes an extensive critical appraisal by Colin Irwin, Mojo magazine's folk correspondent and one of the UK's leading authorities on the genre. Artists such as Kathryn Williams and James Yorkston explain Waterson's enduring appeal and the allure of her enigmatic compositions. The album has been pressed in a strictly limited edition run of 1,000 copies and features a bold cover picture of Waterson shot during the album's photo sessions."
