The Best Of Wishbone Ash - 1997

MCA Records has released "The Best Of Wishbone Ash"! While this may not be what the ardent fan would call the best of, it does contain some worthwhile, previously unreleased, material.

The live version of "Lorelei" and newly recorded acoustic version of "Blowin' Free" perked up my ears immediately. If "Blowin' Free" is any indication of what BARE BONES is going to be like, then sign me up today. The acoustic guitar work is stunning to say the least.

I guess the surprise track has to be "Living Proof". I always felt that this one should have been included in TIME WAS Collection. The quality of the track still holds up today and sounds even better in this digital format.

One other thing I should mention. The remastering of these classic tracks by Teresa Malham at MCA is rivaled only by the BGO releases of "Wishbone Ash" and "Live Dates". The sound is crisp and clear. You'll hear parts in the songs that were previously lost. Wait until you hear the re-mastered version of "Living Proof". It's like listening to the song for the first time!
