Updates (with the help of Ian Sadler):

Added Elegant Stealth Deluxe Edition to year 2012.
The Deluxe Edition consists of:

The original Elegant Stealth CD
The DVD The Story Behind the Album Elegant Stealth which is a re-titled re-release of This is Wishbone Ash - A Rockumentary DVD, originally released in 2010.
The fun thing is: Now the DVD is region free and NTSC encoded.

As always, AshCon results in loads of updates:

Neil Hunt found a previously unlisted printing of On Air. See year 1998.
Live in Geneva was released in mid 90's. Now a re-release is published and it's called
Live in Geneva 1995. See year 2012.
Added some alternative que sheet pictures of BBC Transcription LP #187 from year 1978. See, e.g. year 1978. Thanks go to Mike Derbyshire.
Added a US C Cassette version of Twin Barrels Burning. See year 1982. Thanks go to Mike Derbyshire.

Just Testing. See year 1980.

Number the Brave. See year 1981.

While visiting London (and Chesterfield), I came upon a Wishbone Four CD. This printing didn't exist on my site. Now it is. See, e.g. year 1973. The only problem is: When was this UK printing released? No publishing dates mentioned (except for the original LP printing back in 1973).
And last but not least:
Ben Granfelt's new solo CD Melodic Relief added to Ben's Sideline. See Former Wishbone Ash Members section.

Updates:

Roger Filgate has published a compilation of instrumental tracks. Four of them are edited tracks from Wishbone Ash's album "Illuminations". The compilation is called Progressive Collective. See Sidelines and browse to Former Wishbone Ash members.
Yet another DVD of Wishbone Ash's 1983 concert at the Marquee Club has seen the light of day. It's called Wishbone Ash - Live from the Marquee Club. See year 2012.
Added a US promo copy printing to Just Testing. See the album's Printings and Cover Art information of, e.g. year 1980.

Got hold of a real rarity: A self-published 7" single by Code-5. That's the earliest recording by Ben Granfelt and his band members at that time. See Sidelines and browse to Former Wishbone Ash members.
Martin Turner's memoirs No Easy Road - My life and times with Wishbone Ash and beyond added to Books section.
A 3 page Wishbone Ash history delivered with LP copies of Here to Hear added to year 1989. Look for Printings section of Here to Hear.
Made a minor correction to a German printing of No Smoke Without Fire, catalogue number "MCA 3060": The copies I've gotten hold of do not include the lyrics on the inner sleve. See, e.g. year 1978.
Search utility updated with latest releases (2010 and onwards!).

11-Mar-2012

Certain web browsers have changed so much through the years that the layout of this web site was no longer as I have meant it to be. So, for over a month, during my spare time, I've been going through all pages being part of this site and also the files that define the layout (style sheets). All in all 960 files.

Now everything should now look like I've meant it to look (unless you've set your browser to choose its own fonts to override my settings).

With these new definitions, I've changed the version number of this web site from 6.5 to 6.6.

Well, next update is a "real" one:

LP release of Elegant Stealth,
Re-issues of CDs by Beat Goes On (Wishbone Ash, the first album, Live Dates and New England/Front Page News 2CD) and
Maybe even a US release of Live Dates Volume 2 on CD!

05-Feb-2012

Updates:

Added CD single Reason to Believe / Man with No Name / Reason To Believe (Video Edit) among the Singles (German releases).
Added two "books":
- Rock N'Roll Guide to VH1's Behind the Music 1970 and
- Rock N'Roll Guide to VH1's Behind the Music 1972
to the Books section. They're not much worth mentioning, but part of the "legend" anyhow.

15-Jan-2012

Updates:

Added Road Works Volume 2 - Live in Hamburg to year 2012.
All Japanese MCA era SHMCDs were re-released in late 2011. They've been added to year 2011.
Twin Barrels Burning and Raw to the Bone were supposed to be re-released by Repertoire in 2011. This didn't happen, so the albums have been removed from the list of 2011 printings.
Ben Reinhardt sent me pictures of a very rare bootleg LP from the 70's called Argus Dates. They're included in the list of "1971 to 1976"
.
