3 stars Wishbone Ash have been one of my favourite bands since I was in my teens, and when I had a vinyl collection I had quite a few of their albums. I now have most of the albums on CD, but when I first moved from vinyl to CDs I bought "Time Was" to keep me going. It is a very good introduction to the 1969 to 1980 period of the band, a little too skewed towards the Mark 1 band maybe, but a good selection of tracks are included. At the time it was released, two of the tracks were previously unreleased, namely the live version of The Pilgrim and the studio version of Where Were You Tomorrow (superior to the live version on the Pilgrimage album, IMO). The Argus songs here are also remastered versions, later featured on a reissue of the whole album. If I have one minor criticism it is that I think the title track of the Number The Brave album should have been included, either as well as or instead of the inferior Underground.

I would recommend this collection as a good starting point for anyone unfamiliar with this great band.
