Strange title is Archive

"Ok here goes my first review.In the UK it seems that this CD is considered to be a bootleg but I can assure you it is not. It essentially also was released under the title "Timeline" so this review would apply to that title also although some variations in tracks and duration do exist and "Timeline" is more expensive.This is a live album recorded in two different locationa at two different times. The first couple of tracks of the older material are not particularly well recorded with Martin Turner's bass being overbearing. Once you get into the "newer" tracks the recording and balance are much better and the music really starts to motor. Wishbone Ash were always a live band and this eventualy shows up on this CD and ultimately is enjoyable. Not the best of the pack of WA live albums, "Live in Chicago" is better but for a WA fan go get it you won't be disappointed. Real Guitars Have Wings"
