Quite a lot of updates were waiting to be done by yours truly. Had to clean the slate before AshCon and the start of the volleyball season:

• Added a Japanese High Quality CD release of Argus. See, e.g. year 1972.
• Minor updates to BBC Transcription Services LP list.
• Chris Breen informed me that the tracks of Live in Paris 2015 DVD are also available as downloadable audio files.
  See year 2016.
• Dr. John, the man who found the acetate of First Light and gave it to Wishbone Ash for publishing, hinted me of a Wishbone Four LP which is included here as an uncertain Singaporean release (courtesy of collector supreme Ben Reinhardt). However there's a possibility that the LP is Malaysian, so now both countries are mentioned in the list of LP printings of Wishbone Four.
  See, e.g. year 1973.
  Any additional information is welcome.
• Dr. John also hinted me about a white label test pressing of an LP entitled "Live 1973 Pilgrimage". It's actually exactly the same as an LP published in 2017 entitled "Across the Airwaves".
  See year 2017.
• Vemund Grimstad sent me pictures of two promotional releases:
• Pilgrimage. See Printings and Cover Art of, e.g. year 1971.
  
• Wishbone Four. See Printings and Cover Art of, e.g. year 1973.
  
• Paul Smith sent me detail pictures of two Live Dates Volume Two printings. They have the same cat # but different colour stickers on front cover. Also: the gatefold's inner sleeve does not line up nicely on the printing with a black sticker.
  See Live Dates Volume Two's Cover Art of, e.g. year 1980.
• Jean Paul Baume sent me info and pictures of a recent triple LP bootleg. Back to vinyl! :). See
  
• Added a downloadable (Liverpool) bootleg release called "Still On". See
