@bkeske I agree with @reubent Vol.1 reissue is pretty good. You can also check out The Collection on 24_192 pretty easily. 

First vinyl pressing. The good...RL mastering, the bad...United Pressing Plant

Agree Dewar is a terrific blues singer and Bridge of Sighs an all-time great rock blues LP. Yeah, the SQ could be better. I have that MFSL digital, @slaw. @spiritofradio and others here have it too. Perhaps I’ll compare vs my old vinyl copy sometime.

When it comes to the eras of Fleetwood Mac, I think of them as 3 totally different bands 1) classic British blues 2) Welch era softer rock 3) Lindsey/Stevie Pop/Rock. They all have their merits, IMHO. It’s amazing how Mick/John/Christine held them together for so long, stretched in so many directions, with such highs and lows. Lots of highs!

Spencer, is that Cosmos Factory worthy of the purchase?  AP typically does a very good job, but I thought to ask your opinion before I jump in with a purchase. 

Discogs says ~$100, I paid $30-$35 new back in the day. If it's $40 in print, yes it's worth it. It's Hoffman/Gray, hard to beat. I think I like their Green River even more. But for $100 used? Not that high on my favs list to justify for me. Would rather sell you mine for $90 ;-)
