• Track Listing

Comprising traditional folk songs, trailblazing folk-rock adventures, studio recordings and live performances, Pentangle’s five albums on Transatlantic and one for Reprise reinforce their reputation as one of the most ambitious, supremely talented UK groups of their time. The twin guitars of John Renbourn and Bert Jansch alone are worth the price of admission as you hear "The Pentangle," the live/studio "Sweet Child," "Basket of Light," "Cruel Sister," "Reflection" and "Solomon’s Seal" plus a raft of bonus material. You’ll encounter alternate takes/versions of "Bruton Town," "Hear My Call," "Way Behind the Sun," "Hole in the Coal," "The Trees They Do Grow High," "Moon Dog," "Sally Go Round the Roses," live-in-Aberdeen versions of "House Carpenter," "Light Flight," "Pentangling," previously unreleased versions of "A Woman Like You," "I Am Lonely," "I’ve Got a Woman," "Rain & Snow," "Reflection," "When I Get Home" and more. You also get contemporary solo tracks by Renbourn and Jansch and an 88-page book featuring a colossal 20,000-word sleeve note featuring band Q&A, essays on each album and track-by-track details. A magnificent celebration of 50 years of Pentangle! Cherry Red.
