Wrongs righted.......2007-05-27
There have been compilations before of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, the band he formed after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, but this latest one puts right most of the wrongs and omissions of those.
Everything you expect is here including Oh Well Parts 1 & 2 in its full 9 minute glory and without fading out in the middle, where you had to turn over the single, as previous collected versions had; and the previously unreleased US Version of Need Your Love So Bad, which is a superb extended six minute piece, with strings arranged by Mickey Baker (who played guitar on Little Willie John's original). Stop Messin' Round was on the flipside of Need Your Love So Bad, but it is here in the slighter shorter version used on the album Mr. Wonderful.
The towering magnificence of The Green Manalishi is also re-established by its inclusion. The compilation ends with a token track by Chicken Shack, because of Christine McVie's involvement with the band, and the then-recent hit remix of Albatross by Chris Coco, both of which I could have done without in this particular context, perhaps replaced by their first single, Rambling Pony/I Believe My Time Ain't Long.

The Blue Horizon box distilled to one disc..........2007-03-04
...and kudos to Sony UK for having done such a fine job. While the 6 CD box The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions 1967-1969 contains the complete contents of the albums Fleetwood Mac, Mr. Wonderful, The Pious Bird of Good Omen, Blues Jam in Chicago (alternately known as Blues Jam at Chess and Fleetwood Mac in Chicago 1969) and The Original Fleetwood Mac, this compilation goes beyond those albums to Then Play On ("Oh Well," here broken up into two tracks, the A- and B-sides of the single; and "Rattlesnake Shake") and the band's Immediate singles "Man of the World" and "The Green Manalishi" (one of my favourite tracks of the Peter Green lineup), plus adding Chicken Shack's recording of "I'd Rather Go Blind" (pointing the way towards the later lineups of Fleetwood Mac, with Christine McVie) and a remix of "Albatross." I rather felt that remix to be unnecessary--nice, but unnecessary. I agree with other reviewers that other tracks could have been included instead, but there you go.
Either way, you finally have the tracks from Then Play On without massive amounts of tape hiss (such as is audible throughout the whole of that CD, a situation Warners has yet to rectify, 20 years on), plus a whole series of thoroughly essential tracks from this first (and IMO, best) edition of Fleetwood Mac, all together on one disc. The only other way to manage this is to buy the individual albums--thankfully, all are in print and available on CD--and create your own mix at home, something not all of us have time to do. Again I say, kudos to Sony for pulling this particular feat off.
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks...................2006-09-17
Since other reviewers have already addressed the casual and curious fans of the original Fleetwood Mac, let me speak to those of you who are more serious followers of the genius of Peter Green that now find yourselves on the rocky road of foraging through the many repackaged recordings of the early band.
First and foremost:
this disc represents the one and only place you will find tracks from the Mac's labels; BLUE HORIZON, WARNERS /REPRISE and their intermittent shortlived stint with the doomed English label, IMMEDIATE all in one place.
Most of these songs have appeared in sometimes differing versions on other compilations, but these are the final studio mixes. AND digitally remastered for the first time! Thank you, Sony International.
I'd begun to think Green's final mixes of the two songs from the IMMEDIATE sessions(Man Of the World, Green Manalishi) would never make it to disc. Well, here they are.
Yes, there should of been a couple of tracks here that aren't;Love That Burns(Blue Horizon)Before the Beginning, ShowBiz Blues(Reprise) but alas! the Jeremy Spencer material is kept to a minimum and Danny Kirwan has just two cuts(the splendid blues track, Something Inside Of Me and the rare, interesting Dragonfly)so, I won't complain.
Nothing from the Live in Boston series(Jumping at Shadows)appears here but that no doubt, is due to another licensing snafu with the owner of those tapes(SNAPPER MUSIC?)
In any case, these tracks are pristine sounding remasters and the fact that Sony put up the $$$ to compile these recordings from the various labels is a good sign for the future. For a huge fan of Peter Green like me(you?), just having Man of the World and especially Green Manalishi here in their final mixes(my old vinyl copy is toast), is enough to purchase the disc.
Some Reservations.......2006-07-24
This is an interesting compilation, but is marred by some bizzare choices of material. There are at least two glaring omissions - for some reason that I can't comprehend, two of Green's most beautiful, haunting and personal songs, "Jumping at Shadows" and "Show-Biz Blues," are omitted. If the last two tracks had been dropped, these could easily have been included.
It's not clear to me where this set is directed. Fans of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac will already own most of this material, and novices would be much better served by picking up the classic "Then Play On" and disc one of the three "Live in Boston" discs on Snapper (and then following up with the next two).
This seems to me to be a missed opportunity - only three stars, I'm afraid.
British Blues Genius.......2006-03-25
A superb compilation and excellent recording .... having not heard some of these classics for decades...its like meeting up with old dear friend...fantastic.....heaven on a disc !
Neat and tidy starter set!.......2005-12-07
I was quite throughly impressed upon my first listen to this set, considering there has never really been a comprehensive single disc set featuring the mark I line-up of the band. Bascially, it's a single disc comp of the Blue Horizon box set, but has some nice single mixes and some nice bonus materials. Enjoy the US version of "Need Your Love So Bad," as well as the blistering "Shake Your Moneymaker." Included as well is the epic (read: SEVEN MINUTE) "Albatross" consisting of both parts of the double sided single. Loved my first taste of Chicken Shack with Christine Perfect doing "I Would Rather Go Blind," which inspired me to buy more Chicken Shack. Plus, the fantastic version of Chris Coco's remix of "Albatross." You get a kind of "bookend" of their storied career. If you further enjoy Peter Green, check out his solo catalogue and his Splinter stuff. Otherwise, this set rocks!
