Performer Notes

ARGUS: EXPANDED EDITION contains bonus tracks from LIVE IN MEMPHIS, a 1972 promotional EP.
Wishbone Ash includes: Ted Turner, Andy Powell (gutiar); Martin Turner (bass); Steve Upton (drums, percussion).
Producer: Derek Lawrence.
Reissue producers: Andy McKaie, Leon Tsilis.
Includes liner notes by Leon Tsilis.
Digitally remastered by Erik Kvortek.
On its third album, Wishbone Ash doesn't mess with its formula--as before, this long running British rock institution purveys a mix of blues, folk, and Yes- style riffs mated to endearingly cosmic lyrics. The songs here, however, are considerably more focused and well crafted than on the band's previous efforts, and the harmony singing is delightful.
As always, the band's basis is the tag team guitars of Andy Powell and Ted Turner. Fans of this duo's mix of Yardbirds- and Allman Brothers- style harmony licks and dueling solos will find much to admire here, particularly "The King Will Come" and "Time Was," a folk-ish epic in several contrasting sections. All in all, ARGUS is one of the best guitar albums of the early '70s.

– Customer review on 21/12/2006

I'm a young guy and was listening to Pink Floyd recently when my mother asked me if it was Wishbone Ash. On this, I decided to find out who these guys were, and discovered a hidden gem! This album is perfect for someone who is into that old school rock sound, and definitely sounds very Pink Floyd at times. I only have the record version at the moment but this is my next purchase I think!
