Steeleye Span Good Times Of Old England: Steeleye Span 1972-1983 CD

Limited 12 CD set. Steeleye Span are amongst the biggest and most commercially successful folk rock bands. Their career, spanning over 50 years, has seen them achieve four Top 40 albums and two Top 20 singles as well as countless sold out live shows. Through an everchanging line up, their popularity has continued to this day. This collection brings together their recordings over an 11 year tenure with Chrysalis Records covering the years 1972-1983. Housed in a clamshell box with a 56 page perfect bound book, there are 145 tracks, (46 unreleased) over 12 CDs include a number of unreleased studio tracks including an expanded version of 'New York Girls' (featuring Peter Sellers), a studio take of 'The Devil's Dream', three previously unavailable additional live tracks from the Live At Last album, an Australian only live album, as well as two completely new live concerts from The Rainbow Theatre in London from 1974 and the Boston Berklee Performance Centre from 1976. The Rainbow show in particular has been the subject of much speculation with a small selection of tracks appearing on various low quality bootlegs over the years.
