Album Review

The twin-guitar-jam-infested ramblings of Wishbone Ash are for some the place where British rock and Southern rock meet in an unholy alliance, both influencing the other. This 11-track collection of this British group's best starts features nine classic tracks, plus two previously unreleased versions of a pair of Wishbone Ash favorites. The album, which was compiled and co-produced by founding member Andy Powell, includes "Blind Eye," "Phoenix," "The Pilgrim, "Sometime World," "Warrior, "Throw Down the Sword," "Persephone," "F.U.B.B." and "Living Proof." Also included is a live version of "Lorelei," recorded at a Liverpool concert back in 1976, and an acoustic version of "Blowin' Free," recorded specifically for this compilation in 1997 by the band.

Customer Reviews

Awesome!

This is a great addition to the classic Wishbone catalog; definitely a welcome addition. Good quality, similar to remastered Argus. Sure wish the band would reissue "There's The Rub" and "Wishbone Four" in remastered versions, preferably with some rare and/or live cuts from the same periods. Please.

Fantastic!

Good old rockin' guitars and some nice "Spinal Tap" moments (Warrior).Take a trip back.

My No 1 favorite band and I like lots and lots of bands

Awesome. I saw them twice in their (and my) hey day in the UK and they are fantastic. I have ALL their stuff. Twin lead guitars and magic music and riffs. Pheonix was their concert ending Anthem so buy the album. Also check out the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Both these bands were 2nd tier to Led Zepp and Pink Floyd but I think both were and are certainly as good as or better. They produced more good albums and did not get so messed up along the way. Yes and Barclay James Harvest also fantastic bands. I saw Yes at the Shoreline in Mountain View CA a few years back and they were perfect. Their later albums were as good or better than the early stuff....Roundabout etc. Anyway back the Wishbone Ash........just amazing.
