Now We Are Six

Description

Now We Are Six is the sixth studio album by the British folk group Steeleye Span. Following a series of albums that established them as the leading British folk band, Six strengthened the group's growing rock sound. Nigel Pegrum was added as a full-time drummer, and Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull was brought in to assist with production, on a record that also features a guest appearance by David Bowie, playing saxophone on the final track. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Now We Are Six, the album has been remastered from the original tape transfers and includes rare BBC session performances of the group on Sounds Of The Seventies and Radio One in 1974 - not heard since the original broadcast. The package also includes new words from Maddy Prior, Peter Knight, Rick Kemp, Nigel Pegrum, and Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. Remastered from the original master tape transfers by Phil Kinrade at AIR Mastering.
