WISHBONE ASH Wishbone Four 1973 1st PRESS w/POSTER MINT/UNPLAYED

WISHBONE ASH
Wishbone Four

UK MCA (MDKS 8011) FIRST PRESSING (May 1973) OF WISHBONE ASH'S CLASSIC FOURTH LP
STUNNING COPY - NEVER BEEN PLAYED

PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE SMALL MATT BLACK MCA LABELS WITH "MADE IN ENGLAND - THE DECCA RECORD CO LTD" STATEMENT
MATRIX: 7-LNMG-279-1L / 7-LNMG-280-1L
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed in England by Robert Stace and Co. Ltd."
COMPLETE WITH A LARGE SIX PANE POSTER (colour photos on one side, lyrics on the other)
AND THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED DECCA COMPANY INNER SLEEVE

The progressive aspirations were put aside for Wishbone Four, the group's most solid-rocking album, though the folk-based element is still there, more solid than ever.
"Ballad of the Beacon" is a genuinely beautiful song, and might have come from any number of electric folk-rock bands -- the fact that it came from Wishbone Ash indicates just how serious they were in wanting to explore some of these sounds.
Their most mature and successful album.

Side 1: So Many Things To Say / Ballad Of The Beacon / No Easy Road / Everybody Needs A Friend
Side 2: Doctor / Sorrel / Sing Out The Song / Rock 'N Roll Widow

LABELS: MINT
An immaculate, factory-fresh pair of labels with no spindles or signs of use
VINYL Visual: MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new and, apart from two dull pressing spots (of no audio consequence), are unmarked
VINYL Audio: MINT-
Beautiful example which has remained unplayed since 1973 and my play-check confirmed the sound to be practically flawless.
There are one or two extremely light touches of surface which will no doubt disappear after a few plays - I did not pro-clean this copy as it looks so pristine
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Crisp, clean and fresh with no edge or spine wear to speak of - just some very minor light spots (please see photos)
POSTER: MINT
Untouched and possibly never opened before my photos
