Classic!
Absolutely brillaint again from Wishbone Ash. Providing relaxing music with "The Pilgrim" and heart pumping stuff with Jailbait and Vas Dis, Some of Wishbone Ash's best pieces of music! An absolute must for all Wishbone Ash fans as the perfect all rounder CD.
Flaws within the brilliance
Just a note about the previous reviewer: this is Wishbone Ash's second album, not their first. More pertinently, I agree that it isn't one of their best early albums. All of their other albums prior to the dull 'Locked In' are better. Yet the standard of those albums is so high that this is still a worthy effort. 'Vas Dis' is good once you get past the unnecessary scat vocals; 'The Pilgrim' and 'Jailbait' are classics, displaying both the rock and gentle sides of the band at their best; 'Valediction' suffers only from a somewhat clumsily recorded harmony vocal arrangement; and the two short tracks are delightful, yet simple. My one major gripe is the ten minute live track, 'Where Were You Tomorrow'. Like many live recordings, it was probably great if you were there, but here it is gentle, routine boogie, mere filler. 'Pilgrimage' is worth a punt if you find you like Wishbone Ash albums in general, but I'd leave it well down your list of priorities.
Let's not kid ourselves
Ok so Argus is pretty good and the follow up of Wishbone 4 wasn't bad but the first album, Pilgrimage was a bit suss. With the exception of Jailbait Wishbone Ash seemed to have lost themselves in some Jazz Rock that was typical of some bands of the time. It just lacks any kind of cohesion or aural meaningfulness. In other words it's plain boring in places. The test of time is not looking good here and after a quick couple of plays dust will gather.......
