Hark! The Village Wait is the debut album by the British folk rock band Steeleye Span, first released in 1970. It is the only album to feature the original lineup of the band as they broke up and reformed with an altered membership immediately after its release, without ever having performed live. Therefore, it is one of only two Steeleye Span studio albums to feature two female vocalists (Maddy Prior and Gay Woods), the other being Time (1996).

Steeleye Span forever changed my life when I heard their album "Below the Salt. They may even change yours. Give it a chance-you may like these old tales of love, deceit, deception, and English history.

The sound is fully electric here (with superb playing on the epic "Lowlands of Holland"), if not as aggressive or well crafted as later albums - Hart, Hutchings, and Woods comprise a good core band, and Gerry Conway and Fairport Convention 's Dave Mattacks sit in on drums.
