Steeleye Span - All Around My Hat (1975) 

Info: 

Recorded at Air Studios, London, July '75. Produced by Mike Batt, the man responsible for all the hits by The Wombles. At first he seemed a weird choice for Steeleye, but Tim had been impressed by the quality and imagination in the Wombles' recordings. Batt worked extremely fast, and added strings to Steeleye for the first time. The result was the most commercial album they made, a best-seller in Britain that brought in their first Gold Disc. It included the hit single All Around My Hat, which reached No. 3 in the British charts in December '75. This was originally an english song, which years ago was 'stolen' by the IRA and turned into an Irish rebel song.
Apart from the chorus, the verses were in fact taken from the song Farewell He. The album also contained the excellent The Wife of Ushers Well and the stirring Hard Times of Old England (which deserved to be another hit single, but the lyrics were perhaps too realistically gloomy for the pre-punk area). Also included was one of Steeleye's best harmony tracks, Cadgwith Anthem, which has a subtle brass section creeping in on the unaccompanied singing.
