Steeleye Span: Marrowbones

Marrowbones Steeleye Span Eagle Records EDMCD123 (2 CD, UK, 2002)

Just another CD compilation (this time on 2 CD) of the first three Steeleye Span albums. As it happens so often with these cheap rip-offs, the cover picture shows the Steeleye Span Mk 4 lineup of their heyday time 1974-76 (i.e. including Bob Johnson and Nigel Pegrum) instead of the line-ups that actually recorded the early LPs.
