Release Date February 26, 2008
A re-issue of three albums from 1968-1971: Folk Songs of Olde England Vols. 1 & 2 and Summer Solistice. Just Tim & Maddy on the first two, some extra instrumentalists (Gerry Conway, Andy Irvine...) on the third.
Overlook the dreadful 'Olde' - probably used at the behest of the recording company's marketing department. This is an oustandingly good collection of 39 traditional songs, simply arranged and brilliantly sung (with relatively few embellishments) both by Maddy Prior and Tim Hart.
Dificult to pick favourites - there are so many. I 'll just mention The Dalesman's Litany and Capt. Weddebourn's Courtship as sticking in the mind.
Release Date November 15, 1996
Tim Hart and Maddy Prior were founder members of Steeleye Span in 1969 and remained with the group until its first disbandment in 1978. Before that, Tim and Maddy had recorded a couple of albums of old English folk songs. They were recorded cheaply on primitive equipment and sound as close as you are ever likely to get on record to raw, traditional folk music. After forming Steeleye Span, it came as a surprise that they recorded this third album of old English folk songs in 1972. Unlike the previous two albums, this was recorded professionally and includes three non-traditional songs. While the music is still clearly traditional (albeit more polished) with none of the rock influence of Steeleye Span, there are none of the mistakes that you can find ... Read More:

Release Date October 06, 1995
Tim Hart and Maddy Prior became founder members of Steeleye Span, one of Britain's leading folk-rock groups. Before that, they established their reputation playing the folk club circuit. During that time, they recorded two albums of traditional folk songs, of which this is the second. The music is suitably primitive with very little musical accompaniment, sometimes none at all. Maddy does most of the singing although Tim gets some solo vocals and there are also some duets. Tim's rustic voice will not appeal to everybody although I quite like it. Nevertheless, Maddy was then (and still is) a class act and the best tracks are those that feature Maddy.
Among my favorites here are Copshawholme fair, Horn of the hunter, Queen Eleanor's confession ... Read More:

Release Date October 17, 1990
Maddy Prior and Tim Hart had two albums together before forming Steeleye Span. The Folk songs of old England vol 1 & 2. Then after the formation of Steeleye Span and the Folk Rock treatment of traditional folk songs, they returned to the more traditional sound they had created on their two previous mentioned duo albums. They could have called it Folk songs of old England vol 3 since it follows in much the same way as 1 & 2. But they called it Summer Solstice and it is a gem of a recording. Their are other musicians present on the recording that help the set along. Gerry Conway on bells and percussion. and John Ryan on String Bass. And dispite the traditional feel there is an acceptable Electric Bass from Pat Donaldson. Andy Irvine contributes ... Read More:
Release Date September 25, 1989
This is the best childrens music ever. We played it all the time when the children were little. Lovely songs and a complete joy to listen to even when it gets played over and over again! We no longer have our tape and I wish they would re release it on CD.
