Description
|
| Short description | Original UK MCA (MDKS 8004) first pressing (October 1971) of Wishbone Ash's outstanding second LP, "Pilgrimage" In superb condition (looks and sounds like it has hardly ever been on a turntable). Wishbone Ash's second release, Pilgrimage, unveiled their creative genius after a debut that presented them as a jamming, blues-based rock outfit. The opening track, "Vas Dis," with its jazz bassline, slicing rhythm guitar, and gibberish vocals was their answer to "Hocus Pocus" (or vice versa as both were released in 1971) and "Jail Bait" has gone on to become a Wishbone Ash staple as well as possessing one of the more memorable guitar riffs of '70s rock & roll. A conscientious effort seemed to be in place for this band to write and perform material better suited to their gentler vocal tendencies and where Wishbone Ash essentially went full tilt throughout, Pilgrimage is a moodier affair that includes beautiful, slower melodies like the brief instrumentals "Alone" and "Lullaby" along with the chilling "Valediction," which should have been an Ash classic but is rarely featured on live and hits collections. Even though this band toned it down a bit for this album, their impressive guitar playing was heightened due to the variance in their songwriting - Next to Argus this is the Wishbone Ash album to judge all other Ash albums by

| | Condition | Excellent
| | Condition | Pressed on quality heavyweight vinyl (with a smooth outer rim and much thicker than the later pressings) which delivers absolutely outstanding audio as you would expect from Decca who cut some of the finest sounding records of the period. The vinyl has the first issue Red/Brown MCA labels with the "Made In England, The Decca Record Co Ltd" text underneath the MCA 'ARROW' on the left side of the label (please see photos) - this was discontinued in 1972 and is only present on the earliest labels (All pre 1973 Ash LPs have the two coloured labels in Blue/Black, Red/Pink, Red/Yellow or Red/Brown. After these came the Black label in 1973. The Black MCA label was the last design Decca used for MCA for 1973/4 presses (the first pressings of Wishbone 4 released in 1973 has the black label) and in 1974 MCA severed links with UK Decca and switched its licensing deal to EMI. These later labels have the rainbow insignia and are EMI, not Decca presses)
