Please to see the King is awesome. .......2006-05-30

Amazing. Just amazing. I can't believe how good this album is. These are the best pieces of music I have ever had my pleasure to hear. You may enjoy other Steeleye albums, but this one will knock you off your feet. This is certainly, above all, my favorite Steeleye Span album. Give every song its chance, and listen to it well. This album is magic. You will never want anything more once the harmonious music fills your ears. Your heart will be complete. A great buy. If I were you, I would buy this album for a hundred dollars. Amazing. Just Amazing. There. I said it. Whew!!

One of my two favorites.......2005-09-15

This and Below the Salt are two favorites and Now We are Six my least favorite. Maddy Pryor is something else again and to hear her in person is even better. I've loved this band since the sixties or from the beginning and have never tired of them. If you haven't heard them, do so. Great, great, great. And Gaudete on Below the Salt is truly awesome, with the group singing a capella. These two albums are a must.

In many ways...their greatest achievement.......2005-03-12

Though this is really their second album, in many ways, it's really their first. A previous LP, "Hark The Village Wait" (UK RCA, unissued in US until much later on US Chrysalis) was something of a one-off....Terry & Gay Woods left after that first album. The band came back with this amazing album (with the temporary addition of Martin Carthy). Originally issued on UK B&C and US Big Tree/Ampex, the album starts with a remake of "The Blacksmith" from the first album. This album is more densly electric than most of the later albums...yet with no drums. It stands alone as an achievement of performance and arrangement. The entire album is first-rate, though I wish Shanachie had used the original album art.

For those of you who know their more popular Chrysalis albums, this one will be a very pleasant surprise.

I consider this to be in the Top 5 all-time greatest UK 'folk-rock' albums.

One of the best Steeleye CDs.......2004-04-04

This is one of the best CDs of the bands career.
Every song is worthy of a listen.

A good solid album.

Music to my ears........2002-08-20

This is a great traditional jam. The singing and instrumentals are quite good. It's not really rock, but it still rocks if you like something with a traditional twist.

It's interesting to note that Jethro Tull dropped Steeleye Span as a backup band from their concert tours because so many people would leave after Steeleye Span had finished their set not waiting for JT.
