Ace released three albums on the Anchor label between 1974 and 1977, but will always be remembered for one song. That song, ‘How Long’, made Number 20 in their native United Kingdom but went all the way to Number 3 in the States in 1975. Ace only scored one major chart album, but this ‘Best Of’ proves they were far, far more than one hit wonders. Play it to a friend and odds are they’ll think they’re listening to an American band – to Ace, that would have represented the ultimate compliment. Don’t expect an Ace reunion; just enjoy their best as originally delivered, on vinyl.
