He's soon to be releasing another proper album, but 'Postcards' is an early collection of new tracks and odds and sods which never made the last or next albums. Which goes to show that the chaff of Mr Wylie is something remarkable to behold. Straight from the off when the glory that is Wishbone Ash is resurrected with a dance beat, it's clear that you're in the presence of something special.
'Time Was' is the opening track, and it's absolutely fabulous. To be fair, so was the original, but a 21st century sprinkling of fairy dust has done it no harm at all. In fact, the entire album is a splendid mix of old and new with glistening West Coast harmonies set to modern, melodic masterpieces.
It's all too easy to file this away with all the other Glaswegian wannabees who've floated along in the wake of Teenage Fanclub, but don't let this one slip under the radar. Whether it's the Dan Hartman sounding 'I'm Hanging Around' or the power pop perfection of 'We Can get It Right', this sleek 10 song collection ( a perfect length at 35 minutes), is so much better than most proper albums it beggars belief.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's just another jingly jangly sub Byrds experience. What you're getting is a mixture of Buffalo Springfield, the Raspberries and Cheap Trick, all done up in a sunny, paisley patterned Enuff Z'Nuff coating. One of the best albums of the year by far, this has ruined the last week, as nothing else has got near the hi-fi. Go git some, now.
