BEAUTIFUL 1972 first pressing VINYL on DECCA RECORDS!!!
WISHBONE ASH
ARGUS
...USA - DECCA - DL - 7-5347
BEAUTIFUL Original 1972 VINYL first pressing in gatefold cover (a cool cover at that, depicting a medieval soldier on a misty morning in a mountainous landscape observing a strange flying saucer.
"Argus" is their definite album of music that stands the test of time. Of almost cult-like proportions, "Argus" is full of twin guitar interplays, acoustic passages, melodic bass hooks, long multi-part jams and slightly "romantic" or "sword and sorcery" lyrical images that should satisfy the average progressive fan's hunger for elaborative music concepts!
The album is close to flawless in this gorgeous set of tracks. From the 9 min+ stunning opener Time Was (and its quiet intro, and strong tightness of the group) to the catchy Blowin’ Free (again returning more towards the tighter and more macho side of the group) and passing through the awesome Sometime World (with its superb intro and then the superb bass line supporting the now-famous scatting, great succeeding guitar solos), the first side of the album ends all too shortly (but time-wise this vinyl was anything but short).
The second side of the album manages to top the first one, with their seminal the King Will Come, with Ted turner playing his best solo in the five records (the double live included) he recorded with Wishbone Ash. Just as superb is leaf and Stream with its beautiful arpeggios and that superb pastoral ambiance, a quiet and reflective track from beginning to end and a pure joy. Spine chills guaranteed!! Out comes one of the most awesome track ever written, Warrior and its message for force to become a free man. Throw Down The Sword is a fitting exit to an almost perfect album with both Powell and Turner playing so emotionally that one can only want to spin the album again.
