Re: Okay, I'm a Tam Lin fanatic

Steeleye Span's is from the album Tonight's the Night: Live!, and if you like Steeleye Span, it's a good album in general. Not at all like the Fairport/Tempest/Outgrabe arrangement.

IIRC the Pyewacket and Rick Lee are much like the Anne Briggs version.

Current 93 was a limited edition of about 500 copies, although it's possible they may have reprinted. It's very distinctive, being in a rather gothier style than most versions. I can send you the MP3 if you like.

The Les Barker one (actually recorded by the Mrs. Ackroyd Band) may or may not be in print, Amazon US doesn't have it but Amazon UK might. www.tam-lin.org has the lyrics, and if you can't find a copy I can send an MP3 of it as well. It's an utterly delightful parody that deserves hearing.

The Broadside Electric Band version is dissimilar to any other one I've heard. It's on the album Amplificata, and I was able to buy it off Amazon US a few months ago, although it was supposedly the last one they had in stock. Another "well worth it in general" album.

Oh! Medieval Baebes has a version on their latest, Mirabilis. Done in their usual "Enya does Gregorian Chants" style. Totally in print. iTunes probably has it, eMusic and Audio Lunchbox might as well.
