Description: Steeleye Span Below The Salt Chrysalis Records CHR 1008 Promo Copy - 1972 Description:Rare White label LP from Steeleye Span - Below The Salt. Gatefold with printed lyrics. Says on label: "Promotion Not For Sale" Steeleye SpanA highly influential British band who helped deliver folk-rock to the mainstream in the mid-'70s, Steeleye Span have enjoyed a lengthy tenure at the vanguard of British roots music, innovating their country's traditional songs while adding a host of their own original material to its canon. Along with Fairport Convention, with whom they share many similarities, they are the most recognizable and enduring group to have sprung from Britain's late-'60s folk-rock movement. From AllmusicThe most successful of all Steeleye Span lineups, with Bob Johnson and Rick Kemp in place of Martin Carthy and Ashley Hutchings, makes its debut on what could be their best album. There's not a weak note here, and all of its has a harder, more muscular sound courtesy of Kemp and Johnson, matched to impeccable vocals and uniformly excellent material. Kemp's bass playing makes it possible to overlook the absence of a drummer, while the match-up of Johnson and Hart made them one of the best electric guitar teams in English folk-rock (and helps explain Steeleye's successful eclipsing of the post-Richard Thompson Fairport Convention). Prior's voice was never better than on this album, and while Carthy's backing vocals are missed, the group's singing is still up to a very high standard, with "Rosebud in June" perhaps the best a cappella number in their repertory and Royal Forester their most charmingly lusty performance. John Barleycorn -- which every Traffic fan should hear -- is in a class by itself, and the dazzling Gaudete actually made the British charts and got Steeleye Span onto Top of the Pops.
