Album Number Four Hundred Forty Five. “Then Play On” is #fleetwoodmac 's first release with #repriserecords after being lured away from #bluehorizonrecords and a one-off with #immediaterecords . The label would be the band's home until their self-titled 1975 album. The initial US release of the album omitted two tracks that were previously issued on the American compilation English Rose, while the second US pressing further abridged the tracklist with the addition of the hit single "#ohwell ". My copy is the 1970 gatefold on Reprise Records - RS 6368 (the rereleased version) When the double-sided single "Oh Well (Parts 1 & 2)" (released November 1969) became a hit, the US LP was re-released in a revised running order to include "Oh Well", dropping #dannykirwan 's "When You Say" and "My Dream" to make room for it. The two parts of "Oh Well" differ widely, the first being hard rock, the latter a meditative instrumental, on which #petergreen played cello. #rockandroll #thenplayon #theseventies #rocknroll #mickfleetwood #johnmcvie #jeremyspencer #thesixties https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmog_B-uTcp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I did my homework about the great looking Oscillation 67! album that I posted the other day. It's old 30s/40s Swing era songs in 60s Swinging London versions played by session musicians. Most interesting: it was produced by Mike Vernon who also produced all the other 1967 Decca albums shown here (busy year for Mike and his friend John Mayall). In 1965 he founded Blue Horizon Records who had their breakthrough in 1968 with the first Fleetwood Mac album and became one of the most important labels for the British Blues Rock boom. The label dissappeared in the early 70s when the boom was over and bands like Fleetwood Mac changed to bigger commercial success. But that's another story. PS: I can recommend all these albums but don't expect too much from the Oscillation 67! It's by far not as good as its cover artwork. #vinyl #recordcollection #vinyljunkie #recordcollector #mikevernon #davidbowie #savoybrown #tenyearsafter #johnmayall #bluesbreakers #decca #deccarecords #bluehorizonrecords #1967 #fleetwoodmac
