Wishbone Ash - Living Proof: Live Recordings 1976 To 1980 (10LP Boxset)

Living Proof (Live Recordings 1976 - 1980) is a limited edition 10LP boxset featuring the second classic Wishbone Ash line up of Andy Powell, Martin Turner, Laurie Wisefield and Steve Upton. These recordings - taken from five performances - showcase a band at its live best and firing on all cylinders across four different tours. Four of the concert recordings are available on vinyl for the first time, while the fifth - a newly sourced and previously unreleased recording from the band’s October 1976 run of shows in Nakano Sunplaza, Tokyo on the New England tour - is exclusive to this set.

A lavish booklet includes in-depth album notes and track-by-track ‘making of’ interviews by author and Wishbone expert Campbell Devine as well as rare live photographs, a replica ‘Wishbone News’ newspaper from the Front Page News tour and an individually numbered certificate.

Limited to 1,000 copies as a one-time pressing.
