When this album came out it floored me. They did for Traditional Eng. folk music what The Band did for North Amer. Folk Tradition. DAVE MADDOCKS PLAYING IS BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!! One of the best albums of that era, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

Is it any wonder this album remains the quintessential folk album of all time, it is simply the apex of its genre. Fairport and Steeleye are simply heads and neck above the collective experience.

This gives me so joyful feelings so I want to run all the way to Britain and join them.

well this is epic

It seems so easy...until the guitars, bass, violin and drums kick in. ....

Either someone hit the 'dislike' button by mistake, or else they have no taste and know nothing whatsoever about music!
This is fantastic; this medly always makes me want to get up and jig!

2 of me favourites groups, no less. I was fortunate enough to witness the Arthur Lee "Forever Changes" gig in Portland, OR. Now if only I could've seen the Liege and Lief gig, wow! 2 of my fave LP's of All-Time.

Swarbricks violin sounds so great. He was a great singer too. Listen to "Now be Thankful" on yt as well. Thanks very much for this vid.
