Commoners Crown is the seventh studio album by British folk rock band Steeleye Span, released in 1975 by Chrysalis Records.

[1] Several of the tracks feature strong rock drumming and heavy guitar riffs, but the material remains almost entirely traditional folk music, with the exception of 'Bach Goes to Limerick', an attempt to interweave a classical Bach violin piece with a traditional Irish fiddle piece.

The original song's lyrics are sharply and purposely anti-Semitic, but the band elided that content in their version.

[5] The band continued the whimsical streak demonstrated on Now We Are Six by inviting comedian and actor Peter Sellers to play the ukulele on the closing track, 'New York Girls'.

The October 24, 1974 issue of Melody Maker features the band with Sellers striking a guitar god pose with his ukulele.

Subsequent CD releases omitted the quip, until 2009 when the 3-disc EMI box set A Parcel of Steeleye Span reinstated it.
