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. It
also marked a change in sound. It was the band's first album to be
recorded in America and was produced by producer Bill Szymczyk. Although
the trademark twin guitars were still evident, the album had a more
"American" feel with a smoother production sound. Nevertheless, after
the disappointing critical response to the previous studio album,
Wishbone Four, reviews for There's The Rub were much more positive.
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 upon the album's release because of
the acronym's meaning ("Fucked Up Beyond Belief"). Moreover, the
haunting ballad "Persephone" would go on to become one of the band's
most popular live songs. The lyric of "Lady Jay" is based on the
Dartmoor folk legend about Kitty Jay.
The cover art designed by
Hipgnosis shows a cricketer rubbing (in effect, polishing) a cricket
ball on his trousers, leaving a mark - a common practice by fast bowlers
who do so 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.
