FleetwoodMac's "Then Play On" ; Best remaster??

IMHO, this is a great record that never sounded great. None of the digital versions that I own touch the original UK vinyl, which was nothing special, itself.

One thing to be aware of - there are two versions out there. The original has a bunch of Danny Kirwan tracks which were later deleted on re-issues in favor of Peter Green's last hurrah, "Oh, Well". The Kirwan tracks are great and "Oh, Well" is available elsewhere (compilations), so I'd tend to look for original track list - which probably offers the best sound quality, anyway.

Another note - The "Oh Well" that Buckingham/Nicks era Fleetwood Mac does on live records is only the first (rockin!) section of the song, It omits the strange Spanish flavored acoustic section and the finale. Again, worth owning IMO, but not the whole story.

Onhwy,

That version of the band also included Jeremy Spencer who is a fabulous slide player. It was a three headed guitar monster.

BTW While Kirwan retired decades ago (evidently he had mental health issues that may or may not have been acid related), Jeremy Spencer is going strong after 50 years. His new album is really good.

Per Onhwy's post, "When You Say" is omitted from at least one US release and Madge is sufficiently truncated to fairly be described as a different song . But I do concede that that doesn't constitute "a bunch" per my first post. Faulty memory.

Mea Culpa.
