Ash With the recent and much deserved acclaim / success of Ash's thrilling, effervescent and rifftastic full-length eighth studio LP, Race The Night, which charted at #14 - the exceedingly special and evergreen band's highest Official Albums Chart Top 100 position since way back in 2004, not to mention, their current record label Fierce Panda's very first Top 20 long player ever! Ahead of Ash's upcoming UK Tour, which as always, is guaranteed to delve deep into their dynamic back catalogue and be filled with a multitude of magical melodies and memories!
After revisiting the group's towering Discography / breathtaking Songbook - and because the power trio are justifiably famed and celebrated for their strong, instant, hook-laden, outstanding and classic 45s - I thought that, purely for fun, it would be timely to curate a customised, career-spanning 'Great Lost Singles' compilation, which could also be viewed as an accompaniment to previously released Hits, Rarities/B-sides, Best Of and A-Z Vol. 1 & 2 albums. And hopefully, this may then inspire the Ash faithful and aficionados to assemble and title their very own individualised Mixtapes / Playlists and share these with fellow fans through popular social media platforms as well. So, after much deliberation - with a feast of accomplished, high-quality and ageless tunes that could have made it - I eventually managed to handpick and condense my contenders into a shortlist, from which I settled on this final tracklisting and LP title...
