Description
Fleetwood Mac Then Play On - No Oh Well - Original UK 14 Track record - second UK Record Jacket and second UK Reprise record labels (K44103 printed on both the record jacket and the record labels).
Single sleeve record jacket is VG due to light ring wear on front and back and 2 marks on the back (see photos) and the record is M-.
This original UK release had 14 tracks and did not include 'Oh Well'. The original USA release had 12 tracks and did not include 'Oh Well'. The tracks omitted were 'One Sunny Day' and 'Without You'. In 1970, the 12 track version was revised to include the hit single 'Oh Well' (parts 1 and 2 together) which replaced 'When You Say' and 'My Dream', reducing the overall track count to 11, and resequencing the album.
In addition, some of these UK Reprise black record jackets with K44103 printed on them contain a record with the first UK Reprise record labels with the numbers RSLP 9000 and the words "Pop Series" printed on the record labels.
This Peter Green-led edition of the Mac isn't just an important transition between their initial blues-based incarnation and the mega-pop band they became, it's also their most vital, exciting version. The addition of Danny Kirwan as second guitarist and songwriter foreshadows not only the soft-rock terrain of "Bare Trees" and "Kiln House" with Christine Perfect-McVie, but also predicts Rumours. That only pertains to roughly half of the also excellent material here, though; the rest is quintessential Green. The immortal "Oh Well," with its hard-edged, thickly layered guitars and chamber-like sections, is perhaps the band's most enduring progressive composition but it is not on this version of Then Play On.
