Ten Man Mop, or Mr. Reservoir Butler Rides Again
Encyclopedia : T : TE : TEN : Ten Man Mop, or Mr. Reservoir Butler Rides Again
Ten Man Mop or Mr. Reservoir Butler Rides Again is the third album by Steeleye Span, recorded in 1971.
The album begins with an adaption of the Christmas carol "Gower Wassail". "When I was on Horseback", is one of the few folk songs to have an alternative existence as a blues song, sometimes known as "Six White Horses".
The album was notable for having a textured "gatefold" sleeve and inner pages on its original release. This was paid for by the band but cost more to print than the album generated in profits, meaning the band lost money on each album sold. None of the re-releases have included the original number of pages of liner notes.
