Summary: buy or steal this music now
Comment: The sheer aural beauty of much of this album cannot be adequately stated in words. This is not (with the possible exception of 'Spotted Cow') a 'pop' folk album. This is an attempt to create great music. Maddy Prior's vocal in the haunting 'Sheepcrook and Blackdog'is one of those rare musical moments that can transport the listener to that special realm of pure emotional pleasure which constitutes one of the most profound experiences possible. The bouncing happiness of 'Royal Forrester' shows how little great rythm depends on a thudding drum. 'King Henry' also features a driving drum-less rythm with a wonderful duet. The two a cappella songs, 'Rosebud in June', and 'Guadete'are as different as shivering and infinity. Rosebud successfully evokes the hardship of rural struggles to 'keep our backs from the cold'. 'Guadete' is another "transport" moment, with Prior lifting us all to heaven as she joins the chorus. The album ends with 'Saucy Sailor''s interplay of vocal, lyric and long fade, evoking summation and completion.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: This is one of the greatest cd's I own. Each song tells a story, each story is quite old, and there is fantastic harmonizing. Everyone I've introduced to this album has liked it, even those who profess to only liking rap and r&b thought this was interesting and good music. I love it. I love Maddy Prior, which totally helps the loving of the group all together too.

Summary: A Miracle of Music Found!
Comment: In 1974 I heard the ethereal sounds of "Gaudaute" coming out of our console tv. The show - Midnight Special! I had missed the intro. and didn't know who the group was. I RAN to get my mod panasonic white cassette recorder and held it up to the 3 inch tv speaker and recorded it. Fast forward two years later to my best friends dorm room, and I hear the song again! I ran screeching into her room, "Who is that? Who is that?" She showed me the album, and I rushed out and bought my own copy. I was fortunate enough to see and hear them live in DC in the 80's. Steeleye Span and this album are completely awesome!

Summary: A Favorite
Comment: One of my favorites since it was first released. After 18 years, I still listen to it frequently.

Summary: Relive Olde Times
Comment: This has always been a personal favourite of mine - having done it to death on vinyl, it was pure joy to listen again to the amazing vocals of Maddy Pryor and the instrumental genius of Peter Knight et al. One of the best Steeleye Span albums in my opinion.

Editorial Reviews:

Like Fleetwood Mac would five years later, Steeleye Span had lost its most celebrated members, Fairport Convention alumnus Ashley Hutchings and guitarist Martin Carthy, when they reconvened in a comparatively anonymous lineup that proved to be their most successful. This 1972 album found vocalist Maddy Prior and guitarist Tim Hart (who'd worked as a duo prior to joining Steeleye) taking the reins, with violinist Peter Knight providing an instrumental foil for the then-drummerless quintet's electric and acoustic guitars. Prior's regal alto and a carefully chosen program of traditional songs (including a medieval Christmas hymn, "Gaudete," that's among the few rock songs extant boasting a Latin lyric) sustain the album's decidedly pre-industrial mood. Below the Salt stands as a British folk-rock classic. --Sam Sutherland
