Wonderful songs and voices. Maddy Prior and June Tabor clearly had a great deal of fun putting this album together. It's a great collection of traditional, witty, silly, and thought-provoking songs from ages past. I love this album because these songs are unique -- and fun to sing! Highly recommended! - Hannah Bear

monty,
thanks a lot for the real ear candy "Killing Eve"!
Thanks a lot. Don't know this. Reviews look great. Thanks RYP and Gaius
Thanks
Yawning Angel sez...
I bought this BITD and still have it. Simply a wonderful album. I was just listening to it again on the way home from work last week :) If you like Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, etc. you won't be disappointed.
It's the same story for me as for Yawning Angel -- I've had this album for years and
still play it all the time. I think "No More to the Dance" is equally great, BTW.
Thank You.
What a great Lp I have never heard before I will give a lot of plays, Thank you very much Love the music you are sharing with your people.

Simply put, this is a classic. Pure beauty. I bought the LP in 1976 and although it hasn't been played much in recent years, it's never been out of mind.
Thank you
I haven't listened to this for years (decades?) but loved it back in the day. Thank you.

Never seen this before. Looking forward to hearing it, thanks.
Ah those light Summery dresses, made an old man feel even older. Yes still have the original album.
Thanks!
thank you very much!
I got ahold of this years ago when a friend of mine gave me the copy from the University of Nebraska's radio station. Oddly enough no one had ever played it!
sadly, i'm afraid this link is dead now,
Andrew, no need to be sad, here is a new link for:
