Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I bought this CD from two completely separate and independent Amazon dealers. I never received either CD and was greatly disappointed. It hardly matters what I think of the actual CD, which I know to be delightful. It is irrelevant, since apparently there are none to be had, even when one pays for them from reputable dealers. (who by the way, did refund my money) I am just not willing to tempt fate a third time. I will live without it.
Unless you absolutely have to have every single recording by Steeleye Span, this compilation is very disappointing. Any of the standards can be found elsewhere on their albums or other collections.
What's left is a shambles of a mixture of songs I can only assume were left on the "cutting room floor", and an oddball selection of live performances and highly variable sound quality.
I was hoodwinked by the tagline "Rare Collection". I feel like a rare old idiot for succumbing!
The best thing about this CD are the songs that are difficult or impossible to find eslewhere. I actually bought it for the Boar's Head Carol. It is a holiday favorite that was previously only available by hearing it on the radio once per year.
This is an extremely eclectic recording, but IMHO, Maddie's gorgeous song "I Live Not Where I Love" alone is worth the price of admission. My other favorites on the CD are the full length version of "Thomas the Rhymer," the two Christmas carols and "Somewhere Along the Road." I agree with another reviewer--the butchered version of "Montrose" should not have been included. "Stookie, a theme from a British children's TV show, is a nice touch. Even Steeleye Span can be annoying. (Does TV corrupt everything it touches?)
This CD is stunning; I bought it for the Christmas cuts and am still playing it in March. There are no clunkers or fillers; just great songs between truly superb standouts. The harmony of "Holly and Ivy" is in a class of its own; I had never heard "Harvest Home" before, and it is ineffably pretty. Madeline sounds like an angel. If you are a fan but don't have this, get it. If you are not a fan, this CD will introduce to the incedible range and depth of these people.
This CD is a good selection for those who have not collected the extensive works of Steeleye Span. For those not familiar with this group, they are the ongoing (throughout the last thirty years) pivotal group of British Folk Rock. Their repertoire includes everything from contemporary rock through classical Child's Ballads with a detour through the "naughty bits" of historical British Folk Music. As Maddy Prior once said, "We're your typical medieval rock and roll band". If you like the old ballads and you like rock, get this CD.
Thats all I have to say about this marvelous CD. From the beautiful "I live not where I love" to the glorious "Boar`s Head Carol" to the uproarious "Royal Forester" this CD is a joy from beginning to end. There are perhaps one or two tracks that perhaps don`t belong here, but with 20 tracks to choose from you can`t go wrong. If you`re already a fan, buy this. If you`re not, this is good introduction to the marvelous music these people make.
Tra le collezioni migliori della band, per chi ama ed ha amato il folk-rock inglese anni '60-'70. Un album che merita di l'inserimento tra i titoli da avere nella propria libreria
