Artist: Steeleye Span Title: Below the Salt Date: 1972 Label: Chrysalis Records CHR 1008 Art Direction and Design: Grahame Berney Photography: Harri Peccinotti
Line Up: Maddy Prior: vocals, morrisette |
Notes: A fantastic collection
of folk songs and proper ballads. There's even a version of "John Barleycorn"
on here, how could you lose? Maddy is in fine voice and the choice of
instrumentation is classic Span. In medieval times, according to the
liner notes, salt being the precious commodity it was, was placed at the
center of the table. Those of power and wealth sat 'above the salt'
while those of common stature, or less, sat 'below the salt'. As we can
see from the cover photo there is quite a disparity in selections
between to two halves.
