We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow.

This

notoriously wear prone, about ALL surviving copies have wear, here is an
exception, especially NO WEAR to the back cover which may be the most
wear-prone of ALL covers (?!?)
see full details below song titles
Hard to find this clean vintage vinyl collectible, released in 1970 on the tan Reprise label in gatefold cover, recorded in 1969...really even hard to get this old pressing in such clean shape, almost always the gatefold cover is found with wear, this one provides a very nice addition to one's special collection!
Originally
"OH WELL" was not available on this album, when the song became
Fleetwood Mac's most popular, Reprise re-did the track listings in 1970,
a year after initial release to include OH WELL. This is the stronger
LP version with "Oh Well" and different tracks not on the '69 "two-tone"
pressing
This issue features different tracks from the two-tone Reprise pressing and adds the timeless "OH WELL" hit single...
Legendary and classic 1969 hard blues classic featuring the expressive and dynamic guitar theatrics of Peter Green, in his last performance before he flipped out and quit the band...
"Then Play On" album is a joyful experience. The amazing Peter Green (guitar, vocals), the steady rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie (bass), all fresh from some serious schooling in the ranks of the legendary John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, formed Fleetwood Mac in 1967, joined by guitarist Jeremy Spencer, and, just before this set was recorded, guitarist Danny Kirwin. Their first couple of albums [FLEETWOOD MAC (1967) and MR.WONDERFUL (1968)] were well-received by critics and fans alike in theie native UK -- with THEN PLAY ON, the band began to expand their songwriting horizons, while remaining true to their blues roots.
The guitar work from the triumvirate of Green/Spencer/Kirwan is stunning, as are their vocals -- each infusing his own compositions with a unique personality, yet fitting into the overall sound of the band at the same time. There are some memorable unbeat, rockin' tunes here -- but what stands out after all of these years are the slower, moodier pieces -- vocals and instrumentals alike.
Green's 'Closing my eyes', the second track on the album, is one of the most heartfelt expressions of loneliness and despair heard -- but it's not maudlin. He can sing '...one day I'll die -- maybe then I'll be with you' and it doesn't come across as trite for even a second. Danny Kirwan contributes three tunes in this laid-back but strongly emotional vein as well: 'Although the sun is shining' has an achingly beautiful, unusual chord progression -- 'When you say' and 'Like Crying' are gems as well. The instrumentals -- Kirwan's 'My dream', Green's 'Underway', are things of beauty, and the two jams 'Searching for Madge' and 'Fighting for Madge' allow the bandmembers to stretch out a bit in a more upbeat vein.
There are rockers here as well -- notably two classics from Peter Green, the classic 'Oh well' and the playfully nasty 'Rattlesnake Shake' ...
This is a truly classic recording -- from the band's finest hour. It's no RUMOURS -- and that's a good thing!
