No Smoke Without Fire is the ninth studio album by rock band Wishbone Ash. It was the first album since 1972's Argus to be produced by Derek Lawrence. It was also the heaviest Wishbone Ash album in years, featuring rockers like the hit single "You See Red" and the multi-part epic "The Way of the World." The album peaked at No. 43 in the UK Albums Chart.[2]
After a 1978 tour to support the album, Wishbone Ash took a one-year hiatus during 1979 before regrouping for songwriting sessions at the end of the year.
