The Alchemist

Classic 1973 Progressive Rock album from then short-lived Home, one for fans of Wishbone Ash and now with two bonus tracks.  Home featured a line up of Mick Stubbs (guitar, piano, lead vocals), Laurie Wisefield (lead guitar, vocals), Cliff Williams (bass, vocals) and Mick Cook (drums) and had recorded two previous albums in a more conventional style before recording an album cited by many as a lost classic of the progressive genre. Although critically acclaimed, the album failed to sell in the quantities it deserved and Home disbanded the following year. With the addition of guest Jimmy Anderson on Mellotron and synthesiser, the conceptual work also brought the guitar playing of Laurie Wisefield to the fore, eventually leading to his joining Wishbone Ash.
