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.

5 of 5 Stars! 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!
