Basket of Light is the most progressive release by the British folk-rock group Pentangle. Traditional English folk songs are reinterpreted with a mix of jazz, pop, and rock influences. The album opener ''Light Flight'' has become their signature song, which was also the theme song from BBC1's first color drama series Take Three Girls. With Basket of Light, Pentangle proved they could release a progressive, groundbreaking work without keyboards, much studio trickery, or even electric instruments.
The original Pentangle was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s. During the recordings of Basket of Light, line-up included Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Terry Cox, Danny Thompson and Jacqui McShee.
Basket of Light is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on colored vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve.
