 Until the release of the compilation "A Parcel of Steeleye Span", this was the most easily available version of the original 6 minute form of the song.The album includes one song the band had never recorded before, "Lyke-Wake Dirge".This was a song that the band had frequently performed live (for example, during their US tour in support of Jethro Tull, the band processed onto stage singing this song a cappella), but only now got around to offering a recording of it.
