1	Cruel Sister (1970) more music like this by Pentangle Originally released in 1970, this was the fourth release from the British folk-rock group Pentangle and may qualify as their swan song. With only five songs, Jacqui McShee, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Terry Cox, and Danny Thompson create a dense, layered sound that is woven within the fabric of each song like a tapestry. Although known for their ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $16.46!
2	Early Classics (1992) more music like this by Pentangle A 14-song, 63-minute collection (originally a double LP) comprising many of the highlights (but no "Light Flight") of the original group's history from 1968 through 1972. The notes are minimal, and there are no original release dates or any identification of the albums (The Pentangle, Sweet Child, Basket of Light, Cruel Sister, etc.) whence this ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $15.98!
3	The Time Has Come (2007) more music like this by Pentangle Like many large CD box sets, The Time Has Come is not quite a best-of or a rarities compilation, but something in between. That warning given, it also has to be added that as such things go, this four-CD, 65-track set -- drawn exclusively from their 1967-1973 recordings, and ignoring any reunion efforts -- is one of the best. For one thing, it ... see all copies from $61.79! new only from $61.79!
4	The Pentangle [Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Pentangle There's something exciting about the first album of a band that goes on to greatness, and The Pentangle, by the group of the same name, is no different. Here, the listener witnesses the first studio work of a band struggling to get its essence down on vinyl. Of course, Bert Jansch and John Renbourn's reputations as guitarists preceded the band, ... see all copies from $13.55! new only from $19.28!
5	Open the Door (1985) more music like this by Pentangle A reunion of four of Pentangle's original members (only John Renbourn is missing), Open the Door is a resounding artistic success. Impeccable jazz-inflected musicianship and folkie vocal harmonies combine to produce one of the best outings released under the Pentangle name in their multi-decade career. Bert Jansch's melodic, bluesy acoustic guitar ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
6	Light Flight: The Anthology (2002) more music like this by Pentangle At this point, there have been more Pentangle compilations than some people have had hot dinners, and certainly more than the number of albums released by the original band. However, each new collection refines things a bit more, and this time around they might have come up with the ultimate version. Kicking off with "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" ... see all copies from $17.41! new only from $17.41!
7	Sweet Child (1968) more music like this by Pentangle Sweet Child, released in 1968, at the peak of Pentangle's career, is probably the most representative of their work. A sprawling two-record set, half recorded in the studio and half live at the Royal Festival Hall, showcases just how versatile Pentangle was in their unique brand of English folk, jazz, Celtic, blues, and pop styles. Some of the ... see all copies from $12.00!
8	A Maid That's Deep in Love (1987) more music like this by Pentangle For years, only this nine-track compilation is available to remind listeners of this British traditional folk/rock quintet, which provided Fairport Convention's main competition in the late '60s and early '70s. Much of it is lovely, notably McShee's haunting singing and Jansch's finger-picking. But a more complete picture is provided by the two ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
9	In the Round (1986) more music like this by Pentangle The addition of multi-instrumentalist Nigel Portman Smith in the bass chair enabled Pentangle to employ a broader, more varied instrumental palette on In the Round than on its predecessor, Open the Door. However, this more eclectic sound is also less unified than on the previous release. Bert Jansch is in excellent form on guitar, and plays some ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
10	Solomon's Seal (1972) more music like this by Pentangle The sixth and final album by Pentangle's original incarnation was, like the preceding Reflection, a disappointment, if only in relation to the high standards set by the group's first batch of LPs. As on Reflection, there's an expansion into some wider use of electric guitars, sometimes mildly distorted. There's a narrower scope of styles than on ... see all copies from $16.46! new only from $16.46!
11	The Lost Broadcasts: 1968-1972 (2004) more music like this by Pentangle Pentangle earned its inclusion in the holy trinity of British folk-rock -- along with Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span -- through a combination of vision, tenacity, and the virtuoso guitar playing of John Renbourn and Bert Jansch. At their peak they were a force of nature, seamlessly incorporating blues and jazz into the structured world of ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
12 view cover	So Early in the Spring (1990) more music like this by Pentangle Pentangle had become a bit like Steeleye Span by the 1990s, a legacy from which the key members, however high they might fly in their solo careers, would never entirely escape. Hence, Bert Jansch and Jacqui McShee cut this record with a new lineup featuring ex-Lindisfarne co-founder Rod Clements (electric guitar, mandolin), ex-Fairport Convention ... see all copies from $4.00!
13 view cover	Think of Tomorrow (1991) more music like this by Pentangle McShee and Jansch are back, with Conway and Portman-Smith, but Peter Kirtley handles the electric guitars and some of the singing this time. The band moves a little more easily within acoustic and electric timbres in the same song, the transitions are smoother from folk to rock, and Conway's drums are held in check. This album has a more ... see all copies from $4.00!
14 view cover	Troubadours of British Folk, Vol. 1: Unearthing the Tradition (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Rhino's Troubadours of British Folk series, encompassing three volumes, four decades, 49 songs, and almost as many performers, is a model genre retrospective. For those who want a representative collection of the style's highlights, it covers virtually all of the major performers and innovators of British folk, represented by their best-known (and ... see all copies from $49.30!
15 view cover	Passe Avant (1999) more music like this by Pentangle see all copies from $10.78!
16 view cover	Basket of Light (1969) more music like this by Pentangle Although Sweet Child is usually cited as the group's high-water mark, Basket of Light finds them at their most progressive and exciting. Highlights of this album -- which actually reached the Top Five in the U.K. -- include the buzzing jazz dynamics of "Light Flight," their moving rendition of the traditional folk song "Once I Had a Sweetheart," ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $16.46!
17 view cover	Avengers & Other Top Sixties TV Themes (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This double-CD set contains 60 television themes, at least a dozen of which will be familiar to many over the age of 40 or so -- The Avengers, The Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, Dr. Who, Fireball XL5, The Saint, The Champions and The Naked City are just a few of those programs whose title themes are featured here. There are a few ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
18 view cover	Reflection (1971) more music like this by Pentangle The Pentangle were always great at creating musical fusions, and on this album, they once again came through. The opening song, "Wedding Dress," is a fabulous meeting of Celtic, country, and, believe it or not, funk. It's one of the few songs of theirs that actually rocks. The rest of the record is classic Pentangle, with Bert Jansch's and John ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $16.46!
19	History Book (1971) more music like this by Pentangle An excellent introduction to this fine British band. For those unfamiliar with the group, they came from the duo of Burt Jansch and John Renbourne, easily two of the finest acoustic guitarists in the land in the early to mid-'60s. Jansch and Renbourne were eventually joined by Jacqui McShee, a highly accomplished singer, and rounded out by Danny ... see all copies from $31.28!
20	Pentangling (1973) more music like this by Pentangle see all copies from $37.28!
21 view cover	One More Road (1993) more music like this by Pentangle Any band that has to compete with their own past with studio recordings of new material faces a tough challenge, particularly when that band only includes two of their original members. That was the challenge faced by Pentangle when they assembled in 1993 -- twenty years after the original quintet had broken up -- to record One More Road, with ... see all copies from $12.93! new only from $12.93!
22 view cover	Sweet Child [UK Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Pentangle Sweet Child, released in 1968, at the peak of Pentangle's career, is probably the most representative of their work. A sprawling two-record set, half recorded in the studio and half live at the Royal Festival Hall, showcases just how versatile Pentangle was in their unique brand of English folk, jazz, Celtic, blues, and pop styles. Some of the ... see all copies from $24.19! new only from $24.19!
23 view cover	Basket of Light [Bonus Tracks] (2001) more music like this by Pentangle Although Sweet Child is usually cited as the group's high watermark, Basket of Light finds Pentangle at their most progressive and exciting. Highlights of this album -- which actually reached the Top Five in the U.K. -- include the buzzing jazz dynamics of "Light Flight," their moving rendition of the traditional folk song "Once I Had a Sweetheart ... see all copies from $22.41! new only from $22.41!

25 view cover	At the Little Theatre (2003) more music like this by Jacqui McShee's Pentangle It's not your father's Pentangle anymore. Indeed, it hasn't been for some time, with Bert Jansch having flitted the picture some years ago. Only McShee remains from the old guard, surrounded by veterans (mostly from John Martyn's band, it appears). Inevitably, some songs associated with the old Pentangle are covered, like "I've Got a Feeling," ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
