Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by audiophiles and collectors, due to their premium sound quality and beautifully presented packaging. The sonic quality of Japanese records is regarded as the best in the world. No wonder all the original Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab records were pressed in Japan! The covers are printed on better quality heavy stock paper too. Top condition Japanese pressings from the 1970s are becoming scarcer ~ and therefore more collectable and valuable every year.

Geoff –
The crown jewel of the Wishbone Ash catalogue, 'Argus' is a twin guitar rock classic! 'Argus' was the third album by legendary rock band Wishbone Ash and is a twin guitar rock classic! At the time, British music magazine Melody Maker awarded 'Argus' the accolade of "The Best British Album of the Year." ‘Argus’ has long considered as the crown jewel of the Wishbone Ash catalogue. It features "Blowin' Free", Ash's signature tune, which was greatly inspired by The Who. (Wishbone Ash had played support to The Who on previous tours). But the most brilliant guitar inter-play can be heard on the superb tracks "Time Was", "The King Will Come" and "Throw Down the Sword".
