Distillation
by Wishbone Ash

The closest things we've got to an essential Wishbone Ash compilation, spanning the first 27 years of the band's career. It's got a bit of everything--highlights from nearly every album, alternate mixes/outtakes, live tracks, and rarities that can hardly be found anywhere else (the final song, a live track called Lookin' for a Reason, had never been made available anywhere else prior and is exceedingly rare). There are a handful of question marks in the tracks chosen to make the cut (Genevieve over Engine Overheat, Clousseau over Real Guitars Have Wings, no Time Was to be found), but that's forgiven when you actually listen to the thing--everything sounds crisp in the remastered format, even a song like Say Goodbye, which was made horribly muddy by the production of the original Locked In album. This is another collection only available in CD format and never released digitally, but I was able to find a used copy for relatively cheap. Highly recommend picking it up if you can find it for a reasonable price, just to hear the remastered versions of the songs in their best forms, alongside the rare outtake and live pieces.
