Best of & the Rest of Steeleye Span is a budget reissue of 1989's Early Years that includes only the first 14 tracks. It's worthwhile for the inclusion of the unreleased "Rave On," and the Maddy Prior and Tim Hart solo ventures "The Brisk Young Butcher" and "Westron Wynde," but the true completist would fare better with the vinyl version of Early Years as the CD reissue omits four tracks. ~ James Christopher Monger
