Wonderful album amazon. Watch Video Here: http://www. amazon. com/review/R3TNTY5F5XYY30 My name is Jeremy Gloff. I am a musician (check me out on Amazon!) and retro music enthusiast. If you enjoyed this review make sure to check out my Amazon user profile to check out my other reviews. I am always up for making new friends and discussing the music I love!!! .
One for the road After more than 250 plays (both vinyl and cd)it's still is a magical album. A beatiful record despite the sound quality (cd). Where is the re-mastered version?.
The best of the early group This is dynamic--it would be great with the inclusion of "Oh Well" alone. I've been listening to this one on my iPod since I got it and have no intention of taking it out of rotation. It's a real pity that the Buckingham/Nicks era of Fleetwood Mac has all but buried the fine accomplishments of Peter Green and Danny Kirwan. "Then Play On" is every bit as sophisticated and adventurous as "Rumours", just a lot more blues-based. Check out "Hollywood Blues" for example. Or "My Dream" for something more gentle. This album also shows off the prowress of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie; no holding back here! The one questionable element is Jeremy Spencer--is he present? (Some reviewers say he is not, but I'm not sure). Still, this should be an essential part of any collection. As far as the quality of the transfer--it doesn't sound that bad to me, but maybe that's something to be left to the audio experts. If there's a better version out there, great, but get a copy somehow. A worthwhile investment.
Brilliant LP but it DOES need a remastering job This LP represents the only hard rock edition of Fleetwood Mac (the previous LP's were as a blues band and the subsequent are pop). Most of what's been said about this LP on CD is spot on.
This LP was issued in the UK with additional tracks - that had already appeared on the previous Epic LP "English Rose" and therefore US Reprise did not have the rights to include them here.
The US LP was originally issued without "Oh Well". Within a year, Reprise reworked the LP and added "Oh Well" and moved around the remaining tracks.
As regards "Oh Well", they simply includes both sides of the mono single. It has never been mixed into stereo and the ending of Part 1 is the same as the beginning of Part 2, so there's a section that's repeated.
Reprise should remaster the LP, restoring the original UK playing order, get rid of the hiss and produce a new STEREO mix of "Oh Well" as the last song, properly combining the songs into one continuous, seamless track without the repeated section.
Apparently, someone in the Fleetwood Mac office is stopping this from happening.
Then Play On It was purchased as a gift and has not been given yet. The CD came in a timely fashion and as advertised.
