Although Wishbone Ash always acknowledge the groundwork laid by Blossom Toes and Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, many fans experienced their first taste of twin-guitar rock via 70s Ash albums such as Wishbone Ash, Pilgrimage and, the daddy of them all, Argus.
In the year of its release, readers of Sounds magazine voted Argus, the band’s career-defining third, the best album of 1972, beating such as Machine Head by Deep Purple, David Bowie’s The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars and Mott The Hoople’s All The Young Dudes.
