"Live Dates" in 1992 (MCA Records MCAD2 10396). The 17-minute "Phoenix" as a Bonus Track on the 2CD Remaster of The studios of WMC-FM Radio in Memphis, Tennessee – MCA used one of its cuts – US Radio Stations and their Rock-friendly jocks. LP (Decca Records DL 7-1922) to promote the group amongst Material by the band - with one exception - the famous "Live From Memphis"ģ-Track EP put out by Decca in the States in 1972 as a sort of mini Promotional In the day Wishbone Ash fans would have been lucky to get their hands on Live Next year (2023), "Sebastian" is 50 years old and I am certain it will continue to gain fans for years to come (the Remaster is just so good too). "Crazy Raver" gives it some violin sawing - want to be a big star lyrics - and we never do learn who the lady backing singers are? But the album lifts into the artistic stratosphere with "Sebastian" - swirling and beautiful - I still find it shockingly brilliant. Production quality shines through again for the kick-the-actor-from-behind "Loretta's Tale" and I love that phased vocals middle-eight about 2:40 minutes - genuinely inventive.
Shimmering guitar siddles across your speakers with "What Ruthy Said" - so very Roxy Music but in a less menacing way. The audio is fantastic and I can't help thinking it might have made a more commercial single release than "Sebastian". It reminded me at the time of Deram's East Of Eden from three years before. "The Human Menagerie" opens with "Hideaway", an almost bop-along pastoral - all skipping beats and Harley's weirdly affecting and affected voice.
