My first album aged 12 in ‘72! What a classic to start my lifelong love of music 👍🏻
great days.......
mucic these days tho..........yuk !
Every band and artist has their own creative peak and without question this is Wishbone Ash at their very best. A magnificent achievement that will go down in history as one of the finest albums ever recorded
100%
Love Wishbone Ash, this is in my top 5 albums 😊
My friends and I used to take a shitty little battery-powered stereo out in the woods here in Ireland, and get wasted to this glorious masterpiece. The second part of Sometime World never fails to raise the hairs on the back of my neck.
You rock buddy
Jessssus you were the wild boys....
@@jameshoey303 I detect a smart-hole from The Auld Sod. I knew all the Hoeys. Jamesie, Wild Bill, Peadar, Conan. We were shitehawks, and thought we were cooler than Soundgarden fans.
I owe "Sea of Tranquility" and Pete Pardo for introducing me to albums such as these. After a few videos here, I took a headlong dive into Wishbone Ash and their classic albums. And Argus is their best! This box set looks fantastic. How did I miss this band in the 1970s?
they were a band "back then" that I had "heard of," but never got around to "hearing" them until much later...what an idiot I was...:0)
@@patrickmurphy4297 same. skipped them for years unduly.
This album is masterpiece. First time i heard it it das in 1973, I was 16 years old and i was impressed by the songs, the vocals and specially the twin guitars by ANDY POWELL and TED TURNER. The cover art is brilliant and, in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful album cover. 50 years later, I still listen to this album as I was in 1973... it's magical for me..
Yes that would be a cool box set to own!
Best album I've heard, such an underrated band, first time I heard "Throw down the sword" I cried so much that it became one of my favorite songs (solo) of all time
You should react to Hällas, good band
I've already done a ranking the albums of Hallas.
When music grabs you like this, to the point of making you cry, it has proven itself. An absolute masterpiece of Martin Turner and the rest of the band.
Looks bomber. Love the album. Wish I loved it enough to splurge for this beautiful box set, but alas my funds must go to other things.
50 years? Dang, I'm old. I listened to this album when it came out thanks to my older brothers.
Saw them play live at a festival on the tour to promote Argus. Probably the album I have played most.
I remember reading Storm Thorgerson's account of the cover art. Privately, he acknowledged that the much anticipated photo of the sentinel at the gorge of Verdon in France 🇫🇷 could just have easily been snapped in Blighty owing to the fog. Still, it's a great piece of art on their greatest album.
Quite the set. I love the quiet bass work on Leaf and Stream
Nicely presented and comprehensive review by Pete and his new earring.
An amazing album from one of my favourite rock groups. I was pleased to meet Andy Powel and Martin Turner when they played in Waterford Ireland in 1996. Martin was filling in on bass at the time for live shows. Great review as always Pete.
Still one of my most beloved albums, especially side two. It's nice, frankly, to hear Martin get some much deserved recognition on the channel by you. Yes, you had Andy as a quest a SoT fest, but there are still two versions of the band, just that Martin has to use ex, in the title. His bass sound and nimble playing are still a joy, and his remix is a reminder of how much a potent creative force he was- it wasn't all about twin guitar sound. And yes, this will feature on the best/favourite 70's prog albums- catch both versions of Wishbone Ash if you can
Thanks for this unboxing review, Pete. An album that the older brother brought into the house soon after its release it was played constantly for quite some time. Has remained a favorite album after all these years. Looks like a great set to own. Thanks for the time taken to discuss all the details of this anniversary release.
It sure doesn’t seem like 50 years since we bought this top 5 lp!! The first we heard was the night they played at FM 100 in Memphis to promote the second album!wishbone ash is greatest band ever to play in the continual style of blues/rock/folk/ guitar harmony!! Go Andy!! Awesome work Pete
A record player is not too far off in Petes future. The curse is real.
Oh yeah, the curse is real!
Looked a little awkward handling the record though 😊
Pete tells sorrowful stories about selling off all his old vinyl when CDs looked like they were going to be the dominant medium... But boy how times have changed since vinyl has outsold CDs at least two years running! 😅 Nothing beats holding that large piece of plastic in your hands and dropping the needle on the edge!
@@ScottyKirk1 pete has stated why he switched to cd.its obvious
I prefer CDs too. I like physical media but they are less hassle, I have more room for them and most crucially they are not as expensive. I appreciate some of you might be loaded and semi retired/retired with lots of disposable income but I never had a record collection and for the stuff I like, I can’t afford to buy one and nor do I have the space. So the CD v Vinyl thing gets annoying for me.
Remember buying this classic LP back in 1972(yeah..i am old as hell)and still have and playing the album. One of the best Rock albums ever made in my humble opinion. And the fun thing is that i prefer the Laurie Wisefield era of the band..
Thanks for the review Pete, I would love to own this set, at the minute though, it will have to wait, lots of things, in the house need replacing.
Love this album along with New England. Will definitely get vinyl ❤
Great review of a classic album by Wishbone Ash...A true Masterpiece in a great year with roommates: Close To The Edge, Trilogy, Foxtrot. Thick As A Brick and Octopus.
Wishbone Ash has remained as one of my choice Bands from the distant years of a mispent youth; with ARGUS rightfully now taking on a 50 Th Anniversary celebration box-set ! I was fortunate to see WA live on a single night as part of a line-up to remember in home-city Durban ( SA ) : Wishbone Ash + Uriah Heep + Deep Purple ! Rock ON; Bro ! 😆🤘✊️👊☝️
Three of the absolute best to ever do it. What a lineup.
It is an fantastic Album. I got the 2-CD Deluxe edition. The Argus-50th Anniversary Edition 1972-2022 looks very interesting. Man, the M. Turner version.... Holy cow.... :)
Excellent stuff! The French footage from the Rainbow gig is poor as you say, BUT, it captures a fantastic Steve Upton performance on drums. He absolutely drives this!
Love his style
That's a really nice 50th Anniversary Edition of Argus. I have 2 vinyl copies of Argus, both reissued and on Castle Records. Bought the original album in Tokyo, Japan in 1972. I had no idea who they were and liked the cover (Darth Vader) and when I got home played it and wow what a surprise. Twin guitars courtesy of Andy and Ted. Great songs. I have the 2-cd Deluxe Edition of Argus as well.
Wishbone Ash is a band I've yet to get in to, but they are on my list thanks to SOT.
You won't be disappointed !!
Pete, when you interviewed Andy Powell I was hoping the subject of the ufo 🛸 on the back cover would come up but it didn’t. Do you know why it’s there and then wasn’t on subsequent re issues but more recently re inserted? I seem to be the only fan of this album who noticed.
'Far beyond the hills
Where earth and sky will meet again
Are shadows like an opening hand
Control the secrets
That I've yet to find and wonder at
The light in which they stand'
It's the perfect Rock record- Evocative lyrics and some of the most iconic solo's ever committed to vinyl. There is not a note or word out of place and you can hear a band in perfect harmony. The tracks are all classics and it all builds to the perfect climax Simply the greatest album ever made!
I believe Leaf and stream was written by Steve Upton.
@@williamauld4083 Yes, as I understand it that was the case. Certainly his lyrics anyway
'Argus', the very first album I ever bought, back in 1973. WOW, what a way to start a record collection. And now 50 years later this album is STILL in my top 10 albums of all time. I will never ever get tired of listening to this absolute masterpiece. All tracks are brilliant. 'Sometime World' is just so completely awesome. Part 2 features just the most fantastic guitar solo I will ever here. And the album closer 'Throw Down The Sword' is THE best album closeout track I have ever heard. The very best example of their twin lead guitar sound you can find.
I think I need to get this box set, if I can.
Thanks Pete for taking us through this iconic piece of rock history.
Thanks for reviewing this beautiful box-set of a wonderful album. It looks stunning. However, there's a discussion to be had here, perhaps in your Friday show with Martin, about the price of some of these high-end releases and who they're aimed at. I'd love a copy of this one but there's no way I can afford to shell out for it. I'll wait for a deluxe CD release - if there is one. It's still easy to pick up music at very comfortable prices, but there has been a trend for a while now towards big ticket concerts and lavish vinyl releases for those with deep pockets. Your thoughts Pete ?
I remember seeing this album as a kid and wondered why Darth Vader had a spear.
First time I see Pete buying an LP, great ! I want to get the original vinyl but I guess these days is becoming harder to find, maybe some day.
I don't have a record player-this set comes with 4 CDs and 2 LPs...I'll only be playing the CDs.
Best album ever.
Pretty much a perfect album IMO.
A classic!
Hey Pete. Argus will be my pick tomorrow. I'm on vacation with 20 somethings and they're impressing me with the music that they're into. There's an artist called Sullivan King that I believe you may enjoy a lot. If interested, type in on youtube, "Sullivan King-Thrones Of Blood (Official Music Video) To me, it sounds like the most musically acceptable Death Metal that I've ever heard. There are videos of this guy playing electric guitar solo's that are impressive also.
Still my go to when I'm down. 51 yrs. Good grief.
Andy very underrated guitarist along with Zappa and R. Montrose
That looks a very well put together box set. Exactly one year earlier Led Zeppelin played Alexandra Palace. Big venue back then.
Where did you get this beautiful Royal Scan T-Shirt, Pete?
Bought so much new 180g vinyl. As a keen artist and art fan just love the larger format that CD just cannot offer. But boy is it fiddly and still think cds sound better.
I saw WA in the early 70’s at the Hollywood Palladium, I think the headliner was West Bruce and Laing
Great album master album.
I love this album but there should be separate cd and vinyl editions .I don't have a record player or room t start collecting vinyl again
Yeah, I wish they'd make the remix available outside of the set.
50 years old? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!
First time watching SoT I saw Pete holding an LP. I guess buying a box set brings stuff normally he would not buy on their own.
It's a package deal..I don't have a record player.
That Argus 50th anniversary edition looks as heavy as the Argos catalogue.
Huge fan of this album. Watching your review I have to say, too many versions of Blowin Free. Would prefer more variety of tracks
I don't think they made a bad album up to Locked In.
WIshbone Ash IS ALIVE !
Is the remix the one with pitch corrected vocals?
you made a great buy the song writing is great love it there music just work the music rolls drums glad you pick up the box set can pick a record player for a good price more band need to learn from how they wright there songs here is a band that formed in 1969 called dust they are one of the fastest loud rock band in the early 70's they were a power trio like budgie and strife i wish they had stay around longer richie want on to producing for kiss here a band called death album called for the whole world to see i wish they had more album if they can you tell me and everyone too before i go check megadeth live in 1999 woodstock live full show it rock's i put on when i am having a bad day on youtub to me this was there best line go find out dave allison did to get kicked out of the band shame on him but why when your at the top of your game would you throw it all away like that listen to how the song change to the next song best part i wish this was a album a secret place is a song like best they did there true song it about a secret place were you that the damned go an they can not get out but twist and shout were they have lost there soul and they scream in darkness i have lost my self so i must confess to god to be saved so do not go to hell but everyone away from god and there no coming back when you are there inside no coming back song about the damned thank you for do the video mean the world to me akun mean thank you in cambodian how is the smoke were you let us know from the fires i am canadian untill next time i'm out
Time to get a record player.
Like to have it but I'll stick with my 2 cd set .
Totally into box sets that are well done, as this one clearly is, but this Wishbone album didn't grab nearly as much as I had hoped / others in their discography. Great review, still.
Would like to get it, but like most Madfish releases, it is grossly overpriced. Ill stick to all the various editions of the album that I have acquired over the years.
The cover is a Roman soldier looking over the land in Europe.
Am I seeing right i.e. LPs put in basic paper sleeve? And the price is 100+ ...
But it's premium vinyl and virgin paper.
Ranking the albums Engelbert Humperdinck
Is there a CD version of this?, Only the snobs buy LP's oh sorry records OH SORRY FRIGGING VINYL.
What a ridiculous and narrow-minded statement. Also, who says "frigging"? Have you travelled here from the past to voice your stupid opinions?
To my knowledge you can only get the remixed CD as part of the box set at this time, but that doesn't mean they won't release the CD at a later date.
Wos 72,i thought, maybe its out a few months
When I die, a curse will be laid on anyone not playing "Throw down the Sword".
Do not weep for me, weep for us all.
Why aren’t there other early albums remastered on the market? I think about 1 or 2 cd releases. The current editions sound horrible.
Really disappointed with my set. The vinyl is very badly manufactured and the batch mine came from the three vinyls are dish warped. Supplier sent me replacements and they are all the same. In the process of returning the whole thing for a refund. Appalling quality control for the money. Love the album but very disappointed.
Now that you are unboxing vinyl you will need to grow a beard or at least a goatee!
...and he'll need to hang up a few "black light" posters in the background, as well...
Meh
The guitar work ...plus the V going through a cranked Orange
Oh, he got his free Wishbone Ash box. No wonder he was so hyped. As with all influencers if they have not to pay for the products everything is good. But sorry WA is a very mediocre group...
I hate to break it to you, but 90% of what I review I purchase with my own money...though yes, this one was sent to me on request from the band themselves. Say what you want, but Wishbone Ash is anything but mediocre.
At the time they were one the best out there. Calling them mediocre is using hindsight and personal preference. Those twin guitars would influence a lot of bands.
@@markrushton1516 They were a opening band, nothing more and nothing less...
@@keepitgreasey1 You don't know what you're talking about. Argus is a rock masterpiece and they were a great band.
@@PhilBaird1 Argus is a good/mediocre album, but far from a masterpiece.
Great Album
I remember buying the 20th anniversary
