Test Your Literary Trivia

The question comes from Richard Lederer's "Classic Literary Trivia," with a twist from the turbulent mid-70s.

 

Which Shakespeare play provided the 1970s English band Wishbone Ash with the title for their fifth album and what is that album's name?

I will treat the first person to leave the correct answers in comments to a lunch with the Aging Newspapermen of Baltimore at Roman's Place in Highlandtown.

Answer tomorrow with honor system caveat: You old heads can check your beloved vinyl, but no fair cribbing from the Internet.

There's the rub and I think the play is Hamlet.

Diane is a winner. Now for the honor litmus: Do you swear on Edgar Allan Poe's grave that you did not use the Internet to answer this question?
