With producer Bill Szymczyk running the sessions, the group finally gets a studio sound as solid as their concert sound. Most impressive all the way through.
There's the Rub is the fifth studio album by rock band Wishbone Ash. It is the first album to feature guitarist / vocalist Laurie Wisefield, who would be a major part of the band's creative direction for the next 11 years.
The title is taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet; "To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub."
The track "F.U.B.B." caused controversy because of the acronym's meaning ("Fucked Up Beyond Belief") upon the album's release. Moreover, the haunting ballad "Persephone" would go on to become one of the band's most popular live songs. The lyrics of "Lady Jay" are based on the Dartmoor folk legend about Kitty Jay.
The cover shows a cricketer rubbing (in effect, polishing) a cricket ball on his trousers - a common practice by fast bowlers who do so in order to make one side of the leather ball shinier than the other. This helps the ball to 'swing' as it travels through the air after being bowled, so making it harder for the batsman to play it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Class,
Wonderful wonderful album. Great guitar playing as always but real craft at play, not guitar gymnastics. Great intro with Silver Shoes ( real West Coast feel), then onwards to the beautiful Perspehone, followed by Lady Jay. This is, next to Argus, their best album, although it has a very diffeent atmosphere about it. Heartily recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Ash,
Excellent album from Wishbone Ash while not as solid as Argus this album is my second favourite album from the band,the album boasts some great songs with Silver shoes starting of the album in typical Ash style lovely stuff and the classic Lady Jay a somewhat traditional English piece and excellent it is as well.New guitarist Laurie Wisefield does a sterling job taking over from Ted Turner who decided to leave the band.this album is available as a digital remaster from Japan if you want better sound quality and if you can find it.I highly recommend this album and am sure it will be a worthy addition for your collection.
