About Oberon

One of the rarer fruits to emerge from the British folk-rock underground, Oberon was a seven-member collective whose sole 1971 release, A Midsummer's Night Dream, has earned a reputation as a cult classic not only for its dreamy progressive folk style, but for its utter scarcity. Independently recorded by a group of Radley College students in Oxford, only about 100 copies were ever pressed before the band broke up. Highly sought-after among record collectors, the mystique of A Midsummer's Night Dream carried into the 21st century with just a handful of reissues celebrating its existence. One of the more prominent of these came from U.K. archival imprint Grapefruit Records, which issued a deluxe two-disc version in 2021, a half-century after the album's original limited release.
