THIS- really turned everyone inside out
Peter Green is just sublime- his velvety smooth tone with an edge-& at the time this came out -it was PURE BLUES- Pete blows harp- sings just great- even plays a quasi jazz like guitar("I loved Another Woman ")-Greeeny plays an acoustic blues on "World Keeps on Turning"- & this alone is worth the price of admission
"How Many More Years" (H. Mostly a Jeremy Spencer introduction- which ain't bad a-tall- his overdriven slide matches perfectly with his voice while Mick Fleetwood goes berserk with that driving shuffle of his with McVie steady as always. Wolf tune)is played as if it could have been a Cream song- but retains that Chicago sound- OUTSTANDING-
This is the begining of Fleetwood Mac- THIS is what propelled them to out sell the Beatles & Stones in England- a SUPERB album.

Many nice basic blues tracks but the album was marred by most of the "bonus" intermittent practice sessions.


Sad, full of promise, a tragic couldhavebeen
Clearly he was a near genius at the art of playing the blues and at the time of this album was streets ahead of the rest of the early Fleetwod Mac, with a distinctive interpretation and sound and a conviction of what would work. I was prompted to purchase this CD after a BBC TV documentary about Peter Green. This album is the 'uncut' studio tapes with several re-takes for a number of tracks. By 21st century standards it can be a little tedious. But it does reflect Peter Green's talent and its promise of greater things to come. There is enough here to assess how great that talent was and had he not been caught in a cult in Germany which the documentary suggests is where he began his departure from normality via LSD, he would have equalled Eric Clapton and become a BB King exponent in the fullest sense. The much later Me & The Devil a 3 CD set including a Robert Johnson selection and Green's interpretations of Johnson which won him recent acclaim, is a more enjoyable experience, though poignant with the knowledge of what happened to the man along the way. .


This CD will blow you away
The energy and urgency of the music included will surprise you. If you haven't gotten into Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac for Blues, you have to start here. In some ways it reminds me of the Clapton Blues Breakers for a ground breaking blues record. Peter Green absolutely shreds the blues here, much bluesier than Clapton's playing, in my opinion. You won't regret this purchase.

After their apprenticeship in John Mayall's Blues Breakers, Peter Green and John McVie hooked up with Mick Fleetwood and Jeremy Spencer to form Fleetwood Mac. When building an essential Fleetwood Mac collection this is the place to start. Green & the Mac pack are at their leanest and meanest and virtually live through out this session. The extra tracks dont add to much to this already outstanding piece, but the false starts and band banter do give this legendary blues recording a sort of down home feel and the remastering is simply amazing. Lets face it, Clapton, Beck and Page were all important in shaping what would become known as "blues rock", but none of these cats possessed the tons of ethnicity that Green had pouring out of his fingers. B. B. King once said that Peter Green was the only bluesman whose tone could actually make him sweat. Enough said. Listen. Enjoy.
