Helter Skelter in association with Firefly publish the book Blowin Free - 30 Years Of Wishbone Ash, the most in-depth study of the history of Wishbone Ash to date.  Compiled by leading Wishbone Ash archivists Gary Carter and Mark Chatterton, this publication traces the band’s history from its roots in the West of England, through its 1970s commercial peak, right up to the 30th anniversary of the band's formation. Martin Turner, Andy Powell and Laurie Wisefield all contributed brand new interview material. Various other band members and associates past and present also contribute and the book is packed with rare pictures, memorabilia, etc

The album features material from the band's classic 1970-1980 period.
