Bob Johnson has hand signed this copy of the Steeleye Span gatefold sleeve LP “Below The Salt” on the front cover in green ink. Below the Salt was released in 1972 and considered by many fans to be one of their best. The album has a slightly medieval theme, most notably in the artwork and title. The album cover shows the band in period costume at a feast, while the title refers to practice in the Middle Ages of placing salt (something of a rarity) in the center of the table separating the family from the servants, who were situated “below the salt”. Some of the music on the album has a medieval motif, but only a few of the songs arguably date back quite so far. The ballad “King Henry” (Child Ballad 32), and the a cappella “Gaudete” are certainly very old, and the lyrics to “Royal Forester” date from 1293. However, while “Gaudete” is performed in an authentic style, electric guitars abound in the performance of “King Henry”.
