Although I'm not extremely well-versed in the details of the Steeleye Span catalogue, I find this to be a great 78 minute focused representation of much of their best. If you are not sure if this is your thing, give it a try (offered here for under $10)...you will find this to be some great music I predict (my hippie mother played much of this stuff when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's - it's a different take on that great psychedelic era). Anyone who is or has been into Fairport Convention, Pentangle, Jethro Tull, Celtic or bluegrass music or any of the female singer-songwriter genre artists will probably enjoy this. It often rocks, but also explores beautiful harmonies and melodies. The musicianship is excellent and much originality is shown throughout. The songs really get stuck in your head and many have excellent storylines. It has a couple of early songs and borrows heavily from "Below the Salt", "Parcel of Rogues", "Now we are six" and "All Around My Hat" giving a generous sampling to consider future purchases. It's a grower - Great buy, I love it!!

Steeleye Span is a wonderful group and this 'best of' compilation is a great starter. I'd purchase 'Below The Salt' for an album that's a complete joy to hear.

I was thrilled to see that The Best of Steeleye Span was available. When I bought my first copy earlier this year I shared it with a friend. She liked it so much that I gave it to her and bought another copy for myself. For anyone who likes Steeleye Span, this is a must have CD!

When I received this item, the second disk would not play. Oh no! This CD is out of print, and it was the last copy.

The vendor gave me a full refund, and asked me to return the defective disk. He managed to get me a clean copy and sent it to me free of charge.

I couldn't be happier.
