The King of Elfland's Daughter is a concept album by former Steeleye Span members Bob Johnson and Peter Knight. It was based on the 1924 fantasy novel of the same name by Lord Dunsany and recorded and released in 1977. The cover illustration is by Jimmy Cauty. Side 1. The Request vocals - Chris Farlowe. Lirazel vocals - Mary Hopkin. Witch vocals - P. Alveric's Journey Through Elfland vocals - Frankie Miller. Dig out a vinyl copy and play. Musically, composers Bob Knight and Pete Knight fulfill their brief admirably, distilling the essence of the story down to a relatively straightforward epic of quest and discovery. But a succession of bludgeoning miscasts, ranging from an apparently tongue-tied Chris Farlowe to a frankly puzzled Alexis Korner, hopelessly overwhelm Mary Hopkin's lithesome appearances as the heroine, Lirazel, and P. Arnold's spellbinding witch. Steeleye Span is my favourite folk rock band and after hearing that two of their number made a stand alone album called The King of Elf Land's Daughter I've always wanted to hear it. The name alone makes it sound just like my sort of thing. 0 out of 5 stars The King of Elfland's Daughter. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2013. Verified Purchase. Dass Pete Knight und Bob Johnson hervorragende Musiker sind, weiß man schon seit ihrer Zeit bei Steeleye Span. Hinzu kommt aber noch ihr Mut, sich an diese Rock-Oper zu wagen, was zumindest Ende der 70er Jahre ein Wagnis einerseits und eine Herausforderng anderersreits war.
