4.0 out of 5 stars Great Finds on This Collection!!!, November 20, 2007

This is a must own for any Pentangle fan because of disk 4 which features live material that never appeared on LP. It is fantastic!!! Amazing!!!

As an all around collection it has some minor problems. Several songs get repeated performances while other tracks that I feel were great were not included. Reflections is on the 2nd and 4th CD. Sweet Child and Waltz appear twice and we get songs Like Faro Annie and Yarrow from Renborn and Janch's solo albums. I would have rather had songs like "When I Was in My Prime", "The Cherry Tree Carol", "Lyke Wake Dirge", "A Maid Thats Deep In Love" and many other great tunes that were left out.

This is a great collection with a nice history of the group. Disk 1 and 4 are the best!!!

It's time that a good, multi-disc compilation came out on Pentangle. The band brought together great musicians [Bert Jansch, John Renborn, Danny Thompson, Jacqui McPhee, Terry Cox} to create something much greater than the sum of the parts. The excellent rhythm section of Thompson and Cox providing a foundation for the virtuosity of Renborn and Jansch to take us into heavenly places, whilst Jacqui's pure vocals are breath taking. The first four years of the band produced some of the best Brit-folk music of all time. I could listen to this music ever day of my life and never tire of it. Buy it and enjoy it.

I just recently got this collection and had only listened to the first 3 discs but from what I have heard this is a great collection. It includes singles, alternate takes, key album cuts, and live performances from concerts, BBC radio, and TV and detailed liner notes in a nice digi pack booklet. All the members of Pentangle have contributed to the notes and the sound quality is amazing, especially the Shel Talmy produced cuts. This is an excellent (albeit expensive) primer if you're looking to get into this group since it gives a much broader overview of their recording career so if want to take the plunge into a sound incorporating traditional folk, jazz, pop, and amazing acoustic guitar playing than dive in here. Please keep in mind that the Pentangle was a lot jazzier in their approach than the Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention even though these bands were drawing from the same well each one has there own unique sound but the Pentangle were far more popular so they are a pretty good starting point if you are looking to get in to the English version of folk-rock.
