His come-back after almost a decade of mental illness and hard medication. Always been a fan of early Fleetwood Mac, but not so much of the post-Green years, so when this first arrived I was touched. Even without considering the troublesome circumstances it's a very good album, but thinking about the background and how he still could write those songs and handle the guitar so gently it's amazing. All music penned by him with three of the four vocal tracks having lyrics by his then wife Jane. Backing by Snowy White (who also contributed to Thin Lizzy and Pink Floyd), Peter Bardens (Camel), Reg Isisdore (Robin Trower), Lennox Langton (Brian Auger) and Kuma Harada (Ginger Baker). For me, who's still enjoying his later efforts with FM, it's got a lot to offer. Title track and "A Fool No More" could as well have been on "Then Play On" and even if some of the rest has a slightly different orientation it's so unmistakably Peter Green I'm home. Great album that wouldn't disappoint any fan of the old Mac. Myself I'd choose this before "Tusk" or "Rumours" any day. Audio on this UK is tophole - direct and natural providing very good listening. Issued and reissued on vinyl, CD and cassette all over the world through the years. First US on Sail Records (Sail 0110) came with alternate sleeve design. Premiere UK had label as shown here, on green or black vinyl, and fully laminated fold/out cover. (FXÄC*)
