Been waiting for two weeks for Performance CD to arrive. I give up. Here's what I've been updating while waiting for Performance:

Talking Elephant sells a true silver disc version of Live At The Grand - Road Works Volume 1 CD. Previously only available at gigs on CD-Rs. This one's added to year 2011.
Updated the Cat# of the Dutch printing od Come On c/w Fast Johnny single. Added also a picture of it. See Singles section.

Added a bootleg of Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash's gig from March 2010. It's called "Argus Live 2010". See:

Added one more "Liverpool Bootleg" that's recently been available on "free" download sites, on commercial download sites and on Spotify. The album's name is "Live in 1976". See "Liverpool Bootlegs" section in
According to several web sites, the release of the DVD: Wishbone Ash - The ITV Sessions has been moved forward to an indefinite time. I've removed the preliminary info of this item from year 2011. Not to be missed, since it was yet another Live in Bristol 1989 release.
Instead, I've added some preliminary info of a CD called Performance that is about to be published some time in May 2011. That's another rehash of Phoenix Rising DVD and its follow up DVDs and Audio CDs.

A couple of corrections. These DVDs have been moved from year 2011 to year 2010 because they were "officially" released in late 2010 although they were actually available in early 2011:

Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash's live DVD Life Begins.

Lately some download sites use a different cover art for Live in Geneva. This is added to the CD's original release year 1996.
