Steeleye Span, The Lark in the Morning: The Early Years

Castle Music CMDDD781 (2 CD, UK, August 2003)

Sono due cd che raccolgono i primi tre album del gruppo: Hark! The Village Wait, Please to See the King, e Ten Man Mop or Mr Reservoir Butler Rides Again. Ci sono anche un paio di bonus tracks tra cui l'interessante "Rave on". Ottimo il lavoro di rimasterizzazione. Inteersante la scelta grafica di Becky Stewart e il booklet che contiene una intervista di 12 pagine ai musicisti.
