Steeleye Span, Please To See The King,
LP UK Mooncrest 1991 - CREST
005
1991 reissue of the 1971
album, with a totally different cover, including the original single
release "Rave On" as bonus track. No track durations are given on this
release. Musically,
this was their
most electric, dense recording, with loud guitars and strong looping
bass lines and no drums. It reached number 45 in the UK album charts,
originally on B & C Records; before the year was out the rights
were acquired by Mooncrest Records. It was issued in the US at the same
time on
Big Tree Records, when the small label was distributed by Ampex. It
sold poorly and was deleted quite soon after release. Remaining copies
were bought up by a couple of the 'cut-out' distributors and by that
time, the band had signed with Chrysalis and the cut-out original sold
very well.
Ristampa del 1991 dell'album del 1971, con una copertina completamente
diversa, inclusa la versione originale del singolo "Rave On" come bonus
track. Non sono indicate le durate delle tracce in questa versione.
Musicalmente,
questa è stata la loro registrazione più
elettrica e densa, con chitarre rumorose e forti linee di basso in loop
e nessuna batteria. Raggiunse il numero 45 nelle classifiche degli
album del Regno Unito, originariamente su B&C Records; prima
della fine dell'anno i diritti furono acquisiti da Mooncrest Records.
Fu pubblicato negli Stati Uniti nello stesso periodo su Big Tree
Records, quando la piccola etichetta era distribuita da Ampex. Vendette
male e fu eliminato abbastanza presto dopo l'uscita. Le copie rimanenti
furono acquistate da un paio di distributori "cut-out" e a quel punto,
la band aveva firmato con Chrysalis e l'originale cut-out vendette
molto bene.
