Mystery Sandy Denny song found - can you help?

Jon Lewis | 14:52 UK time, Wednesday, 28 July 2010

Right, thinking caps on, we've got a little teaser for you...

Andrew Batt is a mine of information when it comes to the tragically short career of the great , but he's been stumped recently by a recording of Sandy singing an unknown song.

Andrew found the track while searching through archives, and despite having sought the advice of various other experts, the title and origin of the track remain a mystery.

You may have heard Stuart Maconie playing the full version of this last week, but we thought we'd put a clip on here, too, in case anyone can help identify the song.

The mythological-sounding lyrics in this clip involve someone finding "a dark star hanging low in the sky", gathering it "up in her arms", riding to a shrine and placing the star "to her heart".

Any ideas will be gratefully received!
