Wishbone Ash's second LP unveiled their creative genius after a debut that presented them as a jamming, blues-based rock outfit.
The opening track, "Vas Dis," with its jazzy bass-line, slicing rhythm guitar, and jazzy scat vocals is outstanding and "Jail Bait" has gone on to become a Wishbone Ash staple as well as possessing one of the more memorable guitar riffs of '70s rock & roll.
A conscientious effort seemed to be in place for this band to write and perform material better suited to their gentler vocal tendencies and where Wishbone Ash essentially went full tilt throughout, Pilgrimage is a moodier affair that includes beautiful, slower melodies like the brief instrumentals "Alone" and "Lullaby" along with the chilling "Valediction," which should have been an Ash classic but is rarely featured on live and hits collections.
Next to Argus this is the Wishbone Ash album to judge all other Ash albums by
Side 1:
Vas Dis (4:39)
Pilgrim (8:25)
Jail Bait (4:35)
Alone (2:55)
Side 2:
Lullaby (2:55)
Valediction (6:11)
Where Were You Tomorrow (10:25)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, fresh labels which carry just a handful of spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but light hairlines/scuffs and some misting on the run-offs - all audibly harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Outstanding audio quality - crystal clear, deep, rich and warm with a strong loud cut and my play-check at volume found very little to fault - one or two one-off low-level ticks noted - nothing really - barely worth a mention - plays beautifully and sounds great
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean, solid and unmarked - some storage sun bleaching to the wide spine and a little storage rub to the bottom edge - nothing major
