Hi Adrian,

Yes it's excellent and reckoned to be their best album. I like the studio albums - Wishbone Ash, Pilgrimage, Wishbone Four, There's the Rub and New England. Front Page News is not bad either. After that, I lost interest with too many lineup changes.

The T Turner, M Turner, (no relation) Powell & Upson lineup was the original. Although I felt Ted Turner's replacement Laurie Wisefield, added something to their live shows and is the lineup I prefer.



I particularly like live albums. To me, Ash are much better live, and their albums Live Dates 1 and Live Dates 2 are superb. The only fly in the ointment is that Live Dates 2 is not available (yet) on CD. Due to some contract wrangle apparently. It is around on vinyl, and the important point is to note that the initial release was a double album. The second disc contains some of their best stuff so the double album is well worth seeking out.

Steve,

I appreciate the comprehensive reply. Will get down the local CD store pronto and pick up a few. They had most in stock when I was there earlier today - just did not know which ones to choose.

Thanks

Now playing - Steve Hackett - Please Don't Touch

I always find it strange that Steve got Randy Crawford to appear on one of his proggie albums. Seems a strange combination.
