5.0 out of 5 stars lost classic restored, November 26, 2003

I do agree that this is one of their finest Lp's, and a great joy to have at long last on cd,this is generally regarded by most Pentangle fans as a return to form after the slightly dissapointing "Cruel Sister" and "Reflection" albums (the latter did come out on cd on Line records from Germany in the late 80'S ,but is long out of print).Fans are also well advised to check out the fantastic DVD "Captured Live" which catches the band on French Tv in 1972 performing many of "Solomons seal" tunes

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pentangle, December 15, 2003

This is IMO a 'shouldn't miss' Pentangle album. It's true
it's not as 'jazz exploratory' as some of their early ones
(also all great-- SWEET CHILD is maybe my favorite folk album ever). It continues & in some ways intensifies the 'Appalachian' aspects of REFLECTION, but with slightly rawer sound (well, for Pentangle) & Bert Jansch is featured a bit more here. Jacqui MacShee's singing is terrific too. REFLECTION should also be rereleased-- but this is very welcome after 30 years of oblivion. Only minus-- I wish they'd added some 'alt. takes' or 'archival stuff' as album IS short. Don't be discouraged by some comments/reviews that the group was 'tired out' by this point--true they broke up soon after, but this has great energy I think.

Try the Cherry Tree Carol and Willy O'Winsbury-the purest traditional voice ever-a nightingale pales...
Try this on a full moon snowy evening....
