3 unusual facts about Basket of Light


Basket of Light

The album cover uses photographs of Pentangle's 1968 concert in the Royal Albert Hall.

It reached #5 on the UK charts largely on the basis of the single "Light Flight" (#43 UK), the theme from BBC1's first colour drama series Take Three Girls.

The album's liner notes state that "Springtime Promises" was written "after a ride on a number 74 bus from Gloucester Road to Greencroft Gardens on an early spring day".
