Wishbone Ash - The Vintage Years Box Set Unboxing and Review with Phil Aston

Unboxing The Vintage Years by Wishbone Ash (Madfish Records)
In this video, I unbox this huge 30 CD career-defining set by Wishbone Ash

The Vintage Years includes all 16 albums released from 1970 to 1991 with extensive bonus tracks, rare album outtakes, B-sides and 12 previously unreleased studio tracks.

Many of the albums included are out of print and all of the albums come in replica gatefold sleeves. One of the many attractions are the unreleased live albums. These are included in 11 CDs.

1. Portsmouth Guildhall 1973 (2CD) from the Wishbone Four / Live Dates tour
2. Southampton University 1973 from the Wishbone Four / Live Dates tour
3. Edinburgh Usher Hall 1976 from the New England tour
4. Marquee Club 1977 from the Front Page News tour
5. Newcastle City Hall 1977 from the Front Page News tour
6. Bournemouth Winter Gardens 1978 (2CD) from the No Smoke Without Fire tour
7. Guildford Civic Hall 1980 (2CD) from the Just Testing tour
8. Chelmsford Odeon 1980 from the Blowin’ Free tour

There are three other official live albums in the set which are Live Dates, Live Dates Volume Two and Live in Tokyo.

All the albums have been remixed/remastered from the original multitrack by Pete Reynolds. In the box are personally signed prints by each member of the band. There is also a huge hardback book that covers each album with full involvement from the band, a book of tour posters (plus 4 additional posters, a press kit for the first album and a flexi disc single.

This was an expensive set back in 2018 and was limited to 2,500 copies. This was the most expensive box set I had bought at the time and I feel it was worth every penny. The purpose of this video is to help people see what is in the box so if you do find a copy on Discogs or Ebay you can see what you are getting.

Thank you for your support and encouragement in doing these videos it means a great deal to me :)
