I Luv Wight was a confusing twist to the already confusing discography of the British psychedelic band Kaleidoscope. In 1970, just after Kaleidoscope changed their name to Fairfield Parlour, they recorded a single for Philips, "Let the World Wash In"/"Medieval Masquerade," under the pseudonym of I Luv Wight. A typical hippie-ish folk psych-pop Kaleidoscope/Fairfield Parlour composition, the A-side was intended as the theme song for the Isle of Wight festival that year. Adding to its cumbersome details, although it was written by Peter Daltrey and Eddie Pumer of Fairfield Parlour, it was credited to the pseudonyms Newens and Baker. However, it was not used as the festival's theme after all. Both "Let the World Wash In" and the B-side, the instrumental "Medieval Masquerade," were reissued as bonus tracks on the double-CD set The Fairfield Parlour Years, which includes both Fairfield Parlour albums. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide http://www.answers.com/topic/i-luv-wight

In June Ed and I wrote the song: `Let the world wash in.` by Pete Daltrey http://knol.google.com/k/peter-daltrey/isle-of-wight-festival-1970/63v4bdrc4c5o/5#

Quote:
from Brian Hinton's book "Message To Love"
'Let the world Wash In' was played once, compere Rikki Farr removed it from the turntable, remarking, " that's enought of that crap" and then threw it into the crowd like a frisbee.

The Great Awaking's instrumental version of the hymn 'Amazing Grace' took over as official Festival theme tune. Played entirely by David Cohen of Country Joe and The Fish, a single guitar picks out of tune, then swells into an orcherstra of electric guitars.

You may be interested to see this ........... a RARE Promotional copy of I Luv Wight.
In my opinion, because the Release Date and a persons name are inked on the label, it is a copy which was sent to a reviewer of the trade press or a disc-jockey.
However, in years to come legend may say it was the copy thrown into the crowd by Rikki Farr !!!!!!!

Interesting sleeve copy. Perhaps Peter Daltrey could confirm that it was an advance copy like this one that would have been sent to the organisers. Unlikely this would be the actual copy without some clear provenance. BTW David are you on Facebook and signed up to my 1970 IoW veterans group?.

This is a promotional (free) copy, it was to be giving to DJs on radio station and else, festival DJ Jeff Dexter would have had the same.
