Although the previous album looked bad, this is an even worse version of it. While there are good songs in it, but Wishbone Ash's debut albums are incomparable.

Although the album has potential, it can't even come close to previous albums. Heavier and slower than them. Not at all like Wishbone Ash. Of course, it is very close to their style, but far below expectations.

Another great album from Wishbone Ash. A hard rock album with blues and progressive influences. Persphone and F.U.B.B. favorite tracks on the album. After the Wishbone Four album, it suddenly changes your mood.

Consisting of tracks recorded at Fairfield Halls, New Castle City Hall, Reading University, Portsmouth Guildhall and Memphis concerts, the album is Wishbone Ash's first official live album. The band's concert performances are really top notch. All the tracks are played differently from the album versions and they look like new songs.

Wishbone Ash / BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert (1972)

United Kingdom

Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Rock, Blues Rock, AOR

The band's concert on BBC Radio 1. It contains songs from the first 3 albums. It is an indication of how good they are in live performance. One of the must-have concert albums in the archive. It was recorded in 1972 but only released in 1991. There is an incredible version of the Phoenix song in this album.

Wishbone Ash / Wishbone Four (1973)

United Kingdom

Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Rock, Blues Rock, AOR

Released after the band's legendary album Argus, this album is commercially successful, but is inferior in quality to the first 3 albums. In this album, the group got out of the concept idea and focused on single songs. It's not a bad album, but it's not a very good album for Wishbone Ash either.
