WISHBONE ASH
The Vintage Years 1970-1991
Strictly limited deluxe 30 CD box set
authorized by all of the original band members
In April 2018, Wishbone Ash, one of Britain’s most
enduring and best-loved rock acts, are to release a comprehensive deluxe 30 CD box
set, THE
VINTAGE YEARS, through Madfish.
Loaded with rarities, memorabilia, a new interview and a lavish 156-page
hardback book, a third of this new collection features previously unheard &
unreleased material. Following decades of being starved of unreleased material
from the true vintage years from Wishbone Ash, fans will soon be able to enjoy
the long-awaited, remastered anthology from this esteemed and influential band
in its pure quality in both musical and printed content.
Talking about the release,
founding member Martin Turner explains,
"we decided to give it all to the wonderful Pete Reynolds whom I believe has done a brilliant job of mixing and
remastering a massive collection of work. It’s almost like having one’s whole
musical life in one box. It certainly represents the most comprehensive
Wishbone collection that I know of and I hope you enjoy it."
Andy Powell adds "It’s truly amazing to look back at the
musically fertile ‘70s and ‘80s and wonder at the sheer amount of incredible
creative output from our band. We had great roots and a really strong
blue-print for success. I feel blessed to have played my part in it all and I’m
truly thankful that it’s set the course for my entire life and all the music
that’s followed, as the band continues to live on into the 21st century.”
