4.0 out of 5 stars New fans should start here..., July 7, 2002
By Jiminy Cricket "fantod7" (downstate NY USA) - See all my reviews
This is 2 albums: New England (1976) and Front Page News (1977) re-issued together on a double CD. New England shows W.A. at what was perhaps their creative peak, in retrospect. It alone is worth the price of the package. Creative, great playing, great harmonies. W.A. was one of the most influential 70's British bands, but for some reason never achieved massive stardom. They had a unique style, unique harmonies. Maybe W.A. musicical style was a bit too subtle for the mass public to fully appreciate. Still enjoyable after all these years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Double your pleasure..., April 5, 2000
By D. Hartley (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The two albums contained on this re-issue CD, "New England" and "Front Page News", represent a transitional period in the Wishbone Ash "sound". The band has largely dispensed with the semi-mystical/medieval themes by this time (1976-1977, the prog-rock slaying disco era) and moved to a more slickly produced, even poppier sound. The patented twin guitar work is still there, but is heading in a more mature and subtle direction, as opposed to the "Free Bird" style duels of the earlier albums.Standout tracks include "Lonely Island", "Front Page News" and "Come In From The Rain". Worthwhile for fans of tasty guitar work and melodic, well-arranged rock. I wish more music companies would follow BGO's lead in re-issuing back catalog in such sonically excellent "2-fer" packages--space saving for collectors and more bang for your buck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2 disc set., August 8, 2001
By RKL (Asheville, NC) - See all my reviews
'Front page news' is of course one of the classic albums by Wishbone Ash, definitely 70's music here(always a good thing)and all the tracks are quite good, check out the following tracks- Front page news, Goodbye baby hello friend, Come in from the rain, Heartbeat. These guys are very serious about their craft and it shows. While this remastered BGO version didn't make me stand up and say 'OH WOW!!', it is better than the companion disc 'New England' in terms of sound. 'New England' is a superb album but suffers from a veiled and muddy sound picture. In this case, get the single German import version. Their original label MCA could have given both of these discs a proper remastering but ironically chose not to. This is as good as it will get for now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Long ago and a quiet a bit younger
I used to have a vinyl copy of this and I wore it out. This is just a typical Wishbone Ash cd. Every song on it is good and will get stuck in your player.

Be selective with Wishbone Ash, just go straight for their best albums like "Front page news" and "New England", even stacked into one box here. Read more
