Product Description

Wishbone Ash, having had a great year with the release of their studio album 'Bona Fide', the release of a special live double CD 'Tracks' & halfway through the leg of their European Tour now have one of their best loved albums 'Strange Affair', featuring Robbie France & Ray Weston, being made available to the public along with three bonus tracks, 'Strange Affair' (With Brass), 'Rollin' (With Brass) & 'Dream Train' (With Brass). Strange Affair features some of the band's best material which is currently on their running lists for the tour. Having been unavailable for some years this will be the cream of the crop for Wishbone fans. Originally released in the late eighties on the IRS label, this is sure to be the one album the fans have been after for many a year. Talking Elephant. 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strange Affair- Unknown Masterpiece for Wishbone Ash, April 7, 2003

By	Kevin Billig "routeman" (Allentown, Pa. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a Wishbone Ash fan since listening to all of "There's The Rub" shortly after it's release. I've listened to every studio release since then and there have been a lot of good ones and a lot of not so good ones. Strange Affair is one of the good ones; my favorite of the I.R.S. trilogy (SA, Nouveau Calls & Here to Hear) reuniting the original line up. In the past i've been partial to the albums with Martin Turner singing the lead vocal but here you have all three singing lead but mainly Andy Powell and he does a fine job. The songs are written by all and are of a high caliber. The styles are varied incl. Blues, Pop & Folk. The trademark twin lead is present and sounds superb. The real treat are the end solos by Andy on Strange Affair and Dream Train and by Ted on Standing in the Rain. The Martin Turner produced remaster on Talking Elephant sounds much better than the original on I.R.S. If you are a real Wishbone Ash fan and haven't heard this do yourself a favor and buy it.
