This is a reissue of a rare title from a handmade label by collectors for collectors, which was distributed only in very limited quantities. While copies quickly circulate these days, this item is an officially licensed reissue from a master copy. This is a live recording of Wishbone Ash, showcasing Andy Powell's fluid guitar playing and progressive song structures. While the audience recording means some background noise is noticeable between songs, the performance itself is captured with remarkable clarity and high fidelity. The album primarily features tracks from "Argus," a masterpiece not only by Wishbone Ash but also a historically significant album in rock history. It's a wonderful listen, no matter how many times you hear it, with emotionally rich guitar solos focused more on phrasing than technique, and twin vocal harmonies that are truly moving. The album concludes with the magnificent "Phoenix." Even those who own the original albums or the official live album "Live Date" will find this worthwhile.
