    I was in England in the 70's. Took a trip into London to a record store. I bought Wishbone Ash Argus and Pilgrimage. Wishbone Ash is one of the best bands of their time and still to this day. Sometime World is phenomenal and feeds my soul. It's hard to describe how it completely takes me over.

      A great band. But for all the brilliance of the band without Martin Turners terrific bass it probably would not have worked.

      To be honest I bought this the year it came out. If my memory doesn't betray me it was voted album of the year in Sounds... a UK music paper. Like all classic tracks this one became my favourite from the album. People now, won't understand that. When you bought an album you listened to every song, even if it didn't hit the spot right away.
      Saw Ash over 6 times in the 70's and 80's. Still my favourite band and the were in august company in their time.

    If you open the album all the way, you'll see a flying saucer rising up out of the valley. Argus, loosely translated means sentry. I remember 4 of us, high, playing air guitar (I had a solo one my broom) in our dorm room, on a wintery night in Pullman, WA! Back in the day, there was AM radio, which dominated back then. This was clearly too long for. This song was the Food of FM stations. Who back then were hidden stations with secret songs. The vinyl record was in the stores, and nobody knew what to expect from it
    There was no clue on the cover. It wasn't till 1974 until I found someone who had a copy of it. Possibly the FM station I worked at in college. Became a staple that very moment. The English blues rock scene morphed into some of the most enjoyable music. These guys, the Original Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Beck, John Mayall and the Blues Breakers, Eric Clapton and Cream and even Jethro Tull, were all folk who bathed in American Blues and came out with something different and fun. I was great on the broomstick! By the way...

    Thanks for that. I've been a fan of theirs since seeing them on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' on BBC 2 as they promoted their first album from 1970! Whisperin' Bob Harris introduced them and that was me gone.... I've seen them at least 40 or 50 times, which given the time they've been going isn't that much really! Last time was earlier this year. You picked a great song to review as it is often overlooked on the Argus album, there being so many other great tracks on there. But Sometime World features one of Andy Powell's best solo's I feel. He can still pull them out when he wants to but for the last 20 years or so he has settled for more quality of notes than quantity. The music of the 'Ash' has been the soundtrack of my life and I never get tired of hearing it. Argus IS a 'timeless masterpiece'

    there are much better songs of Wishbone Ash than this one, IMHO

    That is a great album and this is a wicked good song but the other side is pure gold and their finest hour: The King Will Come, Leaf and Stream, Warrior and Throw Down the Sword is one of the best sides of music by anyone and just flows perfectly together, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves 70s rock and great twin guitar leads in amazing, melodic but bangers that will surprise anyone who takes a chance. Back when this came out we were constantly playing the side above, Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

      I totally agree this is a brilliant album. I still return to it today.
