Steeleye Span Vinyl Records

Steeleye Span is an English folk rock band that was formed in 1969. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Maddy Prior, guitarist Ashley Hutchings, bassist Tim Hart, and drummer Peter Knight. They are considered to be one of the most important bands in British folk rock.

Steeleye Span's most successful albums include All Around My Hat (1975), Parcel of Rogues (1973), and Below the Salt (1972). These albums feature a mix of traditional British folk songs as well as original material, and have gone on to become classics of the genre.

Some of Steeleye Span's most famous songs include "All Around My Hat", "Gaudete", "Black Jack Davy", and "The Unquiet Grave". These songs have become staples of the folk rock genre and have been covered by many other artists.

An interesting fact about Steeleye Span is that their name is derived from a traditional English folk song called "Horkstow Grange". This song tells the story of a squire who disguises himself as a peddler and visits a fair in search of a bride. The song was included on the band's first album, Hark! The Village Wait (1970).
