Description:

Best of Steeleye Span is a sparse, 11-song collection culled from six of the group`s records. Focusing on output from 1973`s Parcel of Rogues ("Gaudete") through 1980`s Sails of Silver ("Let Her Go Down"), it only skims the surface of the band`s extraordinary career. For fans looking for a more comprehensive overview, any of the numerous two-disc compilations such as 1995`s Spanning the Years would suffice. The album was reissued in 2001 on the CD Heritage without the track "Cam Ye O`er Frae France." ~ James Christopher Monger
