Wishbone Ash- The Vintage Years out now as a limited edition deluxe 30 CD box set
Madfish Music (record label) celebrate Wishbone Ash, one of Britain's most enduring and loved rock acts, by selling a deluxe 30 CD box set - The Vintage Years. It is loaded with memorabilia, a new interview, a lavish 156-page hardback book and it features a collection of previously unheard and unreleased material. Fans will soon be able to enjoy the long-awaited anthology of the esteemed and influential band.
This 30 box set is strictly limited to 2500 copies and contains all 16 studio albums between 1970-1991, which include rare albums and previously unreleased studio tracks. The box set will feature brand new cover art designed by Colin Elgie, the original designer behind the award-winning Live-Dates sleeve artwork.
There are 3 original live albums (Live Dates, Live Dates Volume Two & Live in
Tokyo) and 8 previously unreleased live albums (on 11 discs) recorded between 1973 & 1980.
Founder and member Martin Turner explains, “I looked after most of these tape recordings for decades, wondering when they would ever see the light of day and I am very glad that they will at last be available for everyone to hear. I wanted to mix the live performances myself, but being a busy chap and not famous for my speediness, we decided to give it all to the wonderful Pete Reynolds whom I believe has done a brilliant job of mixing and re-mastering 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.
