Solo album recorded at a time when the original Fleetwood Mac was on the edge of breaking up and released between their "Then Play On" and "Kiln House" LP:s. The atmosphere is playful, the songs parodies of differing genres and then mostly US fifties rock. So not that serious, yet very well performed with at least a couple of memorable bits. To me most valuable as a band album. Let be Peter Green only participated on one cut, but the rest of the old gang were there providing backing all through. My favorite track would be "Mean Blues" where they all try to make it as sloppy and dirty as possible...and do that so well. Even if intentionally bad it's still a very good garage piece with tons of presence. Further "Here Comes Charlie (With His Dancing Shoes On)" and "Don't Go Please Stay" albeit a lot smoother still bluesy enough for me. Audio on this German press is absolutely smashing - big , warm and embracing. Haven't heard the UK yet so can't compare, maybe get a chance for that later. If it'd be regarded as a Fleetwood Mac album or not may be up for debate, but in my collection it stands next to "Then Play On" as the last original LP by the original setting. To my knowledge only first issued on vinyl in Germany and UK (RSLP 9002). US 2015 CD on Real Gone Music (RGM-0409) came with the flip side to the "Linda" 45 - "Teenage Darling" - as bonus. Premiere German had label as shown here and laminated fold/out cover. (GÖXÄ*) (FXÄC*)
