2013 Update History

26-Dec-2013

Busy Autumn and migrating to a new computer prevented me from doing updates for a while. Here they are now:

Neil Hunt made me aware of a Japanese SHMCD release of Argus. The tracks are the same as on the US 30th anniversary release, including Live in Memphis as bonus tracks. Again, see year 2013.
Added also to year 2013, two French CD releases:

Bob Beresford gave me a hint of a new LP release: First Lights. If contains all of First Light CD plus a couple of bonus tracks from Pilgrimage sessions. Am not sure wheter this is legit or not, but at the moment I've added it to year 2013.
A 1993 compilation: Time Was, the Wishbone Ash Collection was included here as a "fat" 2CD jewel box only. However there's also a slim 2 CD jewel box version available. Now added here too.
Changes to Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash line-up and Martin's own sideline story have been updated. See Sidelines.
Additions to section

Found yet another pirate copy of Live in Chicago. This time it's called Living Proof, Live in Chicago.
It's (self evidently) among Pirate Copies and there among the list of Live in Chicago pirate copies.
Also found a -bootleg of a 1972 BBC broadcast called: I Miti Del Rock - Blowin' Free. See
It's among Bootlegs and there in time period 1971 to 1976.
Finally, added a bootleg called Live in London. It's among Bootlegs and there in time period 1977 to 1979.

Updates:

Updates:

An all new compilation by Spectrum/Universal has been released. It's called Essential Collection. See year 2013. Neil Hunt did provide some valuable information of Spectrum's bloopers.
An older collection by Spectrum has also been re-printed in 2013. It's called The Collection.
A German(?) DVD, Argus - 40th Anniversary - Music Milestones, has been added to year 2013. It's re-release of an existing DVD called Argus - Rock Milestones released in 2006 including interviews with Martin Turner and Ted Turner.
Los Bastardos Finlandeses has released a new album called Day of the Dead. See Sidelines, former members and from there: Ben Granfelt.

Updates:

The following Japanese SHMCD reprints have been released, as Neil Hunt informed us earlier:

Ian Sadler informed me that the 1989 Live at the Marquee gig on VHS video "Phoenix" does not include Blowin' Free although it is indicated in the cover art. This is now corrected here too. See year 1989.
Instigated by an anonymous Greek fan:
An acoustic version of Blowin' Free can be found on the 1997 compilation CD "Best of Wishbone Ash". I've added the musicians playing and singing on that track to the track list of the compilation CD. See year 1997.
Added pictures of US promo single Rock 'n' Roll Widow / No Easy Road. See Singles.

More to come, e.g. a compilation called Essential Collection, once I have the stuff available.

Updates:

Added new live album Road Works, Volume 3 to year 2013.
Neil Hunt pointed out an error in my information of the forthcoming Japanese SHMCD reprints. They're in standard jewel boxes, not in paper sleeves. This is now corrected. See, e.g. year 2013
Added detailed info of Argus LP printing MCG 3510. See year 1972, printings and cover art of Argus.
Added a bootleg of a 1976 Japanese gig: Silver Shoes. It's found in time period "1971 to 1976" among
