Wishbone Ash achieved considerable success in the 1970s, during which they were among England's most popular hard rock acts, achieving an incredible eight top 40 albums. Often regarded as one of the premiere UK live acts of the '70s, they toured throughout this period and into the following decades. 1972 was one of rock music's most memorable years for regal releases - a golden age of classic albums from the Stones, Bowie, Deep Purple, Roxy Music, and not least among these amazing artists and records was Wishbone Ash - and their award-winning 'Album of the Year' - Argus. Undoubtedly the classic album within the bands 70s cannon. Argus is not only the biggest selling album of their career, featuring the beloved fan-favorite 'Blowin' Free', but full of memorable and timeless tunes such as 'The King Will Come', 'Time Was', 'Warrior' and 'Throw Down The Sword'.

Pilgrimage (1971) is Wishbone Ash's second studio album and a pivotal step in defining the bands distinctive sound. This re-issue faithfully replictes the original UK in it's gatefold sleeve and is pressed on 180gm vinyl. Building on the twin-lead guitar approach introduced on their debut, the album expands into more intricate, pastoral, and adventurous territory. Andy Powell and Ted Turner weave melodic, harmonized guitar lines that feel both fluid and exploratory, blending hard rock power with folk-influenced lyricism. Tracks like Vas Dis and Valediction highlight the bands instrumental confidence, allowing extended passages to unfold organically rather than follow strict song structures. The rhythm section of Martin Turner and Steve Upton provides a steady yet flexible foundation, grounding the albums more expansive moments. Pilgrimage balances electric energy with acoustic textures, creating a reflective, almost spiritual atmosphere suggested by it's title. The album stands as an early example of progressive rock sensibilities fused with melodic hard rock, influencing countless guitar-driven bands that followed Album Tracks 1. Vas Dis 2. The Pilgrim 3.
