Steeleye Span - Please to see the King (B&C 1971)

 


I recently found an original 1st pressing in NM conditions in a second-hand box of ‘80s disco and other trashed discs… what such a masterpiece of folk-rock was doing in such a bad company is a sort-of mystery, yet… happy I grabbed it at the cost of a coffee… and I sure saved it from the oblivion, indeed.






The cover is made of a canvas-like, soft and textured carton and it’s a pleasure to handle.

This record sounds amazing, much, MUCH better than my trust copy on Mooncrest label.

This disc has been (and still is) a personal fave of mine: Maddy Prior and Martin Carthy’s voices sound so fresh, yet dramatic and music flows effortlessly and never tiring.

A humble little masterpiece from 1971.
