Steeleye Span had its most successful period in the 1970s with hits such as Gaudete and All Around My Hat. But after the group traded in pop music for a more folky sound, they lost most of their then fans. The group went through various personnel changes over the years and was even disbanded in 1978. From the original line-up of Steeleye Span, only Maddy Prior and Peter Knight remain on Time.
Old-timer Bob Johnson is also present on this album. Time is a collection of British 'traditionals', which are sometimes played in an authentic way by the group or provided with a folk rock sauce by them.more
