Default Basket of Light by Pentangle

Here´s the most recent winner of the FAIR club poll:-

Basket of Light by Pentangle (1969)



A classic of the sixties British folk revival, this album has a clean, fresh and consumately professional sound that seamlessly blends traditional songs with original compositions and arrangements.
I wonder who gave this a listen, and what you made of it?

I was very pleased when I bought this album 44 years ago, to play on my very first record player. I also remember lending the album around to a small circle of school friends who liked it too, so I´m particularly interested to see how Pentangle might sound to modern listeners. Is Basket of Light a gem from the past or does it sound too out-dated ?
