Wishbone Ash can trace its origins back to Torquay, a seaside resort in the south west of England. It was here that Martin Turner and Steve Upton first performed together - Turner bass - Upton the drums, before moving to London in 1969 to seek fame and fortune. It was in the capital that a decision was made to place an advert for a keyboard player and a lead guitarist. The following audition threw up 2 guitar leads but nobody could decide who to choose and the trademark twin lead sound of Wishbone Ash was born. Ted (David) Turner and Andy Powell soon went through the poverty and growing pains of a new band but were fortunate that Miles Copeland was championing their cause and a fairly rapid progression was achieved.

Pay The Price Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
Hey you know
Baby dont care whos mad about her,
Always got the boys hanging out to get her,
Knows just when to smile
But she can bite like a crocodile.
Dont want to get heavy, dont ask me why,
Got everything in place from her foot to her eyelash.
Just might dance, but not for a while
She dont want nobody cramping her style.
Knows it when you think shes nice,
But if you want her to be yours, boy,
You got to pay the price.
Better get ready for tears and sorrow -
Shell be here today and shell be gone tomorrow
Waving her pretty hand.
Shes got a date with another man.
Too busy to stay in one place too long,
Got itchy feet, got to be moving on.
See you again, out on the tiles,
Your broken heart will mend, baby, up in a while.
Now you know shes cold as ice
And if you want her to be yours, boy,
You got to pay the price.
