The best website for Malicorne is this one: http://gnosis2000.net/reviews/malicorne.htm

I notice that the amazon site (and others) refer to the albums using the title of the first track, which is slightly confusing as other sites use a numbering system.

The first four albums were recorded on the label Hexagone. Starting with the compilation "Quintessence", they recorded for Courson's own label Ballon Noir. To the best of my knowledge, this is the history of their labels.

  • Malicorne (1974). A cream-coloured album with a monochrome photograph of the band. Sometimes called "Collin" after the first track. Ussued on (1) Hexagone--193.632/GRI 191252 (2) 2000 Griffe
  • Malicorne 2 (1975) (The Tree-House Album - a drawing of a tree with a house inside). Sometimes called "Le Marriage Anglais" after the first track. Issued on (1) Hexagone--193.652/ GRI 191262 (2) 2000 Griffe

[edit] England

"Not until 1990 did Gabriel and Marie set foot in England". Absolutely false. They were at the Cambridge Folk Festival, I believe in 1976. It was the first time I heard them. - Jmabel | Talk 07:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

You might be right, but I cannot find any evidence for this one the web, nor in any book. Ogg 18:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steeleye

Why are Steeleye Span singled out as an English/British equivalent? I would think that they had more in common with Pentangle. Or even Five Hand Reel. ~- Jmabel | Talk 07:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The first 5 albums might be compared to Pentangle, but the heaviness of their later albums, particularly "Les Cathedrales" is far closer to Steeleye. Ogg 18:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Something horrible has happened

Could somebody please take the article called "Malicorne 2" and rename it as "Malicorne 1". The album called "Malicorne 2 Le mariage anglais" can stay as it is. It's quite unacceptable to have two albums called "Malicorne 2". Really the band have brought this upon themselves, and we have to pay the price. Ogg 10:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
