The early months of 1973 saw Wishbone Ash - like Traffic and Led Zeppelin before them - retreating to the countryside to prepare for their next album. The band and their road crew spent three weeks in an isolated cottage in Angesey, N.Wales writing and rehearsing.
With an album's worth of material composed, Wishbone Ash spent the months of February/March 1973 recording at Olympic and Apple Studios, London. The band decided to produce the sessions themselves
Wishbone Four was initially treated with caution by both fans and press - a great shame, since the record contained some particularly good compositions. Sadly, the general public had expected the "Son of Argus" that the band had refused to deliver. One of the more positive press reviews came from Melody Maker. MM wrote: "Having been perhaps too over-concerned with getting the structure of their music right, honing it's form to a fine degree, Ash are now evolving a heart with a warm pulse to beat in the solid body they've built." Wishbone Four peaked at no.10 on the UK chart.
