WISHBONE ASH "STRANGE AFFAIR" FT. ROBBIE FRANCE & RAY WESTON LP NM A1/B1 UK 1991

	£		28

A great condition example of this later period Wishbone Wish album. At this time, there were still 3 original founding members; Martin Turner, Andy Powell and Ted Turner.
It looks barely played. Has original lyric sheet and lined inner sleeve. There is no damage to any part. Check my photos. I will pack the vinyl in a separate paper sleeve outside of the cover. 

"Wishbone Ash are an English hard rock band from Torquay, Devon. Formed in October 1969, the group originally included bassist and lead vocalist Martin Turner, guitarists and vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner, and drummer Steve Upton.

In 1987, I.R.S. Records founder and original Wishbone manager Miles Copeland III began a series of albums entitled No Speak, which featured all instrumental music. To launch the label successfully, Copeland needed a big name band that would bring publicity to the project. Copeland approached the four founding members of Wishbone Ash about having the original line-up record an all-instrumental album. For the first time in fourteen years, Andy Powell and Steve Upton joined forces with Martin Turner and Ted Turner to record the album Nouveau Calls, released in February 1988.[9] The original line-up's tour of 1988 was a huge success, as the band played large venues for the first time since the late 1970s. In August 1989, the band released a reunion album with vocals entitled Here to Hear,[9] featuring mainly songs written by Ted and Martin Turner. In 1990 the band went back into the studio to record the follow-up to Here to Hear. The band were shocked when founding member Upton, the band's drummer for their entire career, announced his retirement from the music industry. They enlisted drummer Robbie France, but replaced him with Ray Weston when it was determined that personal conflicts between France and Martin Turner could not be resolved. Strange Affair was released in May 1991, featuring mainly songs written by Andy Powell and Ted Turner.[9] Later in 1991, the band decided to continue without founding member Martin Turner, with the bassist/vocalist being replaced by returnee Andy Pyle, who had been in the band years earlier. The band toured throughout 1992/93, releasing the live album The Ash Live in Chicago.[9] 1994 saw the second and final departure of Ted Turner. Following Turner's departure, Pyle and Weston also left the band."
