Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Quintessential "Classic" Steeleye Span..........2007-05-02

Steeleye Span pioneered folk rock along with Fairport convention (whose music I still haven't picked up yet, though I've been meaning to for variety's sake). If you're a Steeleye Span fan, you will like this CD. Period. It's a Steeleye classic, and one of my many favorites.

Skip the newer releases, like: They Called Her Babylon, Bedlam Born, Bloody Men.

Go for the Classics: Tempted and Tried, All Around my Hat, Sails of Silver, Storm Force Ten, Rocket Cottage, Hark! The Village Wait, Please to See the King, Ten Man Mop, Commoners Crown, Now We Are Six, Parcel of Rogues, Below the Salt, Back in Line.

If you must pick up "modern" Steelye albums, pick up: Time (one of their best "modern" releases) and Horkstow Grange (their other good "modern" release). "Winter" is supposed to also be good, on par with the classics (traditional arrangements of holiday songs), though I haven't yet seen it.

The above "classic" albums cover the early and middle years.

4 out of 5 stars Solid Span.......2007-02-18

Yeah, there's no way to deny it: "To Know Him Is to Love Him" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" are serious double-you tee eff moments (though it's hard for me to believe people actually fell for the notion that they were performed by elementary school students--I mean, "St. Eleye?" Come on). I know some people would also put the title track in this category, but I can't really agree with that--consisting of several Old English-style riddles put to music, I find it nice and evocative. But those other two--um, no. Extremely missable by any standard.

But never mind them--look at what this album DOES do right. The opener "Thomas the Rhymer" is always fun, with a nice, adventurous arrangement. And it's really funny to me to picture Thomas bowing down and going "Hail, Queen of Heaven!" while the faerie queen's going, um, dude. No. It's true that the story doesn't really GO much of anywhere, but the song is still very much worthwhile.

"Drink Down the Moon" is also pretty great; it's a slow, melancholic song with sort of mysterious lyrics, that towards the end takes a left turn by segueing into the rollicking--and totally delightful--"The Cuckoo," which features one of my favorite bits of innuendo in any Span song: "It is thorn and it is prickle, it is compassed all around/It is thorn and it is prickle and it isn't easy found/She said young man you blunder and he said it isn't true/And then left her with the makings of a young cuckoo."

Then there the ever-popular "Two Magicians." This song is especially good when you realize what the band's done with it. What I take to be the original version, as performed by Martin Carthy, is a sort of queasy song of sexual conquest--but the Span version is much "nicer"--sweet, even; the male magician comes across as being much less predatory, and the whole thing has more the feel of an elaborate flirtation than an aggressive pursuit.

Passing over the previously-mentioned "Now We Are Six," we come to "Seven Hundred Elves," which I'm kind of dubious about. You'd think a duel between humans and elves would be super-fun, but ultimately, I really don't think it's very compelling, and it's not at all clear whether the farmer is actually supposed to be sympathetic or not. Was the band aiming to make the song into some sort of oblique environmental anthem? Regardless, it doesn't do much for me. "Long-A-Growing"--performed by Carthy, Pentangle, and others under the rather more poetic title "The Trees They Do Grow High," is better, but it's not a favorite, either--I'd have to say I like Pentangle's take on it best. "The Mooncoin Jig" is an okay-not-fantastic instrumental. Fortunately, then we come to the gleefully-macabre murder ballad that is "Edwin," which is one of the band's all-time classics. Seriously great singing, and it's difficult not to smile in particular at the almost gratuitously grim final lines: "And Emma broken-hearted was to Bedlam forced to go/Her shrieks were for young Edwin/That plowed the lowlands low." Whee! Sing a merry song!

Then, unfortunately, we're back to "To Know Him" and "Twinkle"--but who cares? With "Drink Down the Moon, "Two Magicians," and "Edwin," this album contains three of the band's best songs, and other than the two closers, the others ain't half bad either. This may not be the ideal first Span purchase (Below the Salt), but it's a typically-solid entry in the band's seventies catalogue. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars It Gets a Little Cheesy, but They Still Have It! .......2006-05-30

Now we are Six is kind of a cheesy album, especially with "Twinkle, Twinkle". I think they just wanted to fill up extra time with that song. This is the first album with Nigel Pegrum, the controversial drummer. He thus makes the band six people, this being their sixth album as well. Ian Anderson of Tull produces it, and he did a good job.

"Thomas the Rhymer"is good, (It reminds me of some eighties rock band)and I'll have you know I know quite a bit about my good friend Thomas. He was a fictional poet who was a leading poet on faeries. Apparently, he expirienced them in daily life. Also a great song, "Drink Down the Moon", with a sad mellody sang by Maddy Prior, in my opinion the best prog. rock vocalist of all time, extends over six minutes, but hey- they needed the time. "The Mooncoin Jig", a happy number that starts off with, "One, Two, Three", said by Pete Knight, featured mandolin player on the song. "Seven Hundred Elves" is a prog rock classic, with long vocal solos sung by Maddy. My mom says it's drug music, but she's wrong.

4 out of 5 stars What were they thinking?.......2004-04-09

Twinkle twinkle little Star?
Must have been the Wine or good Grass?

Great CD but the last 2 tracks and the Title track should be avoided at all costs.

It's a shame a possible classic is wasted.

Remaining tracks are well worth getting the CD though.

Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) had something to do with the production of this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Uneven, but still has good material.......2002-06-06

Steeleye Span's previous effort, Parcel of Rogues is one truly amazing folk rock album, to me, it's a classic. After that album came out, a prog rock group by the name of Gnidrolog had just broken up, after releasing two albums, Lady Lake and In Spite of Henry's Toenail. That band featured drummer Nigel Pegrum, and he joined Steeleye Span. That gave the band a full-time drummer for the first time, and was put in to good use with Now We Are Six. The band was now starting to use more rock-oriented material, like "Thomas the Rhymer" and the ever wonderful "Seven Hundred Elves". Their version of the Teddy Bears' (the band Phil Spector was in) 1958 hit "To Know Him is to Love Him", the one with David Bowie playing sax, seems totally out of place on a Steeleye Span album, sounding more like New York circa 1958 than Merry Olde England circa 1558. Many Steeleye Span fans were obviously distressed over the inclusion of such a song. But luckily there's several great medieval sounding cuts to keep the old fans happy. Like "Two Magicians", "Edwin", and "The Mooncoin Jig". Why on Earth did they include a version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"? After all it's a song everyone has learned to hate since Kindergarten. This version features kids from the St. Eleye Primary School singing that song and played exactly in the style you remember at school, with a teacher playing the piano and getting the kids to sing. I can live without that (and it seems everyone else too). Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame is production consultant, and his involvement with this album is a big reason how he got Maddy Prior to sing backup on Tull's "Too Old To Rock and Roll: Too Young To Die" a couple of years later, not to mention a big reason for the very medieval sound of Songs From the Wood. To me, I find Now We Are Six a bit uneven, but I still find it better than their largely flat-sounding followup, Commoner's Crown. Still, if you're new to Steeleye Span, try any of their albums from Hark! The Village Wait to Parcel of Rogues first.

    5 out of 5 stars This has got to be one of my favorite albums.......2002-11-23

    I love "Now We Are Six"! I have several Steeleye Span albums, all of which I love, but I really like this one especially. I must admit I was surprised when I heard the electric guitars, but I think they really give it a cool effect. If you like this album (which is mostly old english songs to a modern beat), you'll probably like stuff by the Transiberian Symphony.

    3 out of 5 stars Now We Are Very Much Improved!.......2001-11-15

    To many die-hard Steeleye fans, Now We Are Six marked a turn for the worse in their music. With their decision to start using "modern" instruments such as electric guitars and synthesizers, and to use murky sound and dark subject matter in their choice of songs, Steeleye Span created an album that was not nearly as pleasing as their previous attempts. Happily, this import version makes some much-needed improvements. The sound quality is noticably better, which helps to make the songs easier to appreciate. But the real gem is the extended, six-minute plus version of Thomas the Rhymer - while the original American version is a throwaway bouncy pop tune, the import version contains extra lyrics which Maddy Prior delivers with delightful charm and delicacy. This track alone makes it worth the revisit. Throw your domestic copy of Six away and purchase this one!

      5 out of 5 stars Living in a California patch, I stumbled across Eeyore.......1998-11-23

      --------------After a twenty year self -exile from England, living in a California patch, I stumbled across an Eeyore, who being as miserable as me, asked me to hold his tail while he took me into the land of Pooh. Raised in England during World War 2, I was too pre-occupied with other things to have learnt about Pooh...much to my chagrin.

      However from the moment Peter opened his mouth, the memories of England came flooding back, and I too realized that Pooh resembled me in many embarrasing ways. Not only did I reconize myself in Pooh, others many many others world wide have too.. ..if we could all be as innocent....

      Entering my second childhood in Southern California was indeed a blessing....and we are double blessed that Disney could not BUY Mr.Dennis..... thank you Peter.
