Wishbone Ash - Time Was- The Wishbone Ash Collection torrent

Ripped in Winamp Pro
Bitrate: VBR 192kbps 44Khz Joint Stereo


Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios, Hollywood, California).

The definitive best-of album by the long running British institution features a well-chosen bunch of songs from its albums between 1970 and 1981, plus some previously unreleased tracks (a studio version of "Where Were You Tomorrow") and gorgeous remixes of early favorites, in particular "Time Was," which here absolutely shreds the version on ARGUS. All in all, this set is a great way to sample the band's trademark melange of blues, folk, Yes-style riffs, and endearingly cosmic lyrics, not to mention the tag team guitars of Andy Powell and Ted Turner.

Highlights include the epic "Phoenix," a psychedelic jam that clocks in at over 10 minutes. There's also an impressively arranged live version of the Jimmy Reed blues classic "Baby What You Want Me to Do" (misidentified for some reason as the Everly Brothers' "You Got Me Runnin'"), and "Vas Dis," an uptempo shuffle originally by jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff which gives bassist Martin Turner (no relation) the chance to do some very impressive scat singing.

Includes liner notes by Todd Everett.
