The band's sixth album and last before final breakup. By then bassist Andy Fraser had left the band to form "Sharks" together with Chris Spedding, here replaced by Tretsu Yamauchi (just out of "Faces"). Paul Kossoff was down on drugs and didn't show up for all the takes, so US session musician Snuffy Walden was brought in as support. For a band on the edge of disintegrating this is a pretty good offspring. With all that's been in the music world and beyond since "Wishing Well" still holds as a rock classic with a sweet catchy melody to dark hefty backing, crowned by Paul Rogers magnetic vocals. "Come Together In The Morning" a heavy rock ballad with brazen guitars. "Heartbreaker" and "Seven Angels" both slow and heavy enough if you're into such. Over all you get a lot of Paul Rogers voice and that could never be a bad thing. Issued and reissued on vinyl and CD all over the world through the years, also 8-track and cassette. First US on Island (SW-9324). Japan 2002 Limited ed. in paper sleeve (Island UICY-9203) came with six bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here in a thin matt cover with picture/lyric inner.
