Limited edition • 3CD • 2LP vinyl • 7" single • 48-page book

Wishbone Ash celebrate the 50th anniversary of their classic 1972 album Argus with a seven-disc super deluxe edition box set.

Undoubtedly the most famous of the bands’ 1970s canon, Argus is not only the biggest selling album of the band's career - featuring the beloved fan-favourite ‘Blowin’ Free’ - but also full of memorable and timeless tunes such as ‘The King Will Come’, ‘Time Was’, ‘Warrior’ and ‘Throw Down The Sword’.

Featuring a heady blend of prog rock, folk and hard rock, Argus is widely considered a vital moment in the progression of twin-lead guitar harmonisation.

The super deluxe edition box set contains:

3 CDs comprising Martin Turner’s Argus remaster, Live at The Alexandra Palace 1973, Live in Memphis 1972 and 4 previously unreleased early version demos.
2 vinyl LPs - An original Argus replica (remastered for this release) and Argus Live on yellow vinyl (selected recordings from Alexandra Palace and Memphis).
A DVD including French and Swiss TV footage, Live from the Rainbow 1973, and an RTS Broadcast from 1974.
A 7” Single of ‘Blowin’ Free’.
A 48-page softback perfect bound book with rare photographs and extensive liner notes featuring contributions from Andy Powell, Martin Turner and Steve Upton.
A numbered certificate of authenticity.

This is a vital addition to the Wishbone Ash catalogue.
