The original Electric Muse was released in 1975, a four-LP box set that professed (and, for the most part succeeded) to tell the story of (primarily) English folk music as it was electrified during the '60s and early '70s. A magnificent undertaking, packed with every significant name in the genre's development, it nevertheless sold poorly and slipped out of print after just a few years, to become a Holy Grail of sorts among an ever-growing army of folk-rock aficionados.
