Reissue of the 1970 debut album by Steeleye Span, the only album recorded by the expanded big band/supergroup line-up that featured Tim Hart, Maddy Prior, Ashley Hutchings and Gay and Terry Woods. One of the central recordings on the folk/rock canon, this one features masterful arrangements of traditional song including "The Blacksmith", "All Things Are Quite Silent", "The Dark Eyed Sailor", with an especial highlight being the elegiac, constantly peaking version of "The Hills Of Greenmore". Recommended.
