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


I recntly have rediscovered Fleetwood Mac through the album "Tusk" which seems to capture some the magic of the earlier Mac albums, like Future Games and Bare Trees.

I have read that the title called: "Then Play On" is also excellent, but the 1990 remaster by Warner Bros, blows

Anyone know if there is a high quality CD or even LP remaster of this title?? Thank you

As a young teenager "Then Play On" was my first experience with different versions of albums with the same name. (The Grateful Dead's "Aoxomoxoa" was the second). I remember having to get the record store clerk to open the record and look at the label to determine which version of the album I was getting.

I've heard stories about the Kirwan vs. Green songs and how the album was patched together. Not all version have "When You Say" or the longer "Madge" jam, if I recall. BTW, Danny Kirwan was an excellent guitarist and very neatly complemented Peter Green's fretwork. Also a good song writer. Groups bearing the name Fleetwood Mac always seemed to have talented guitar/song writers. McVie and Fleetwood must know where to look.
