Steeleye Span, Now We Are Six, LP UK Chrysalis (March 1974) - CHR 1053

Recorded in 1974 at Morgan Studios in London, this album represents a new and important stage in the history of the group. Many compositions are "traditional arranged", with the exception of "To Know Him Is To Love Him" ​​by Phil Spector, in which there is the collaboration of David Bowie on alto sax. The original Chrysalis cover, elaborated by Shirtsleeve Studio, is very suggestive: it represents an old shrine with a tree drawn on which birds flying that have the faces of the musicians.
