By Andy Millward VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This is a right roistering collection of folk rock, from the blisteringly great (Alison Gross, Black Jack Davey, Hard Times of Old England, Gaudete, All Around My Hat) to the forgettable (To Know Him is to Love Him, Now We Are Six etc.) At their best, Tim Hart, Maddy Prior and company stood alongside the Fairports as popularisers of the folk tradition and made a brilliant job of it too. I can definitely forgive them the odd lapse in judgement in the face of haunting ditties like Alison Gross ("the ugliest witch in the north country.") Listen and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly some of the best! 6 Feb 2008
Format:Audio CD
I'm a massive Steeleye Fan and enjoy nothing more than listening to their finest tracks. Generally, with a compilation like this, you can never be sure if you'll end up loving everything and this is by no means an exception. However; the less good tracks on the CD are very few! "To Know Him is To Love Him" for instance is probably the least enjoyable (let's face it; it's just not Steeleye Span like they should be) and "Now we Are Six" is very much an acquired taste. Nevertheless, there are a great number of less famous gems, such as "Royal Forester" and "Dark Eyed Sailor". "Saucy Sailor", "Thomas the Rhymer" and "Drink Down the Moon" are again well worth a real listen, and help make this one of the best Span compilations ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars ...And I was well content 7 Feb 2006
Format:Audio CD
I've been listening to Steeleye Span since I was a kid, too. But that was in the seventies! This record is a rather neat selection of their best titles. One restriction, though: I'd dropkick the cloying and dumb "To know him is to love him" from a high cliff, and put in the superlative, how-can-they-have-left-it-out? "Fighting for Strangers", the chilling tale of a mercenary's career, appropriately carried by a cold and almost abstract tune. As to Steeleye Span as a group - I've just told you I've been listening to them for about thirty years. What do you expect me to say about them??? Of course, they are brilliant. Nobody compares.

I really enjoy this CD. It brings back happy memories and Maddy Prior in particular has lost none of her charm and verve. Good tunes, good singing and good quality.
