FLEETWOOD MAC/SONDERAUFLAGE 92514 (-69) GERMAN RECORD CLUB ISSUE

German record club variation of the "Then Play On" LP, released there at about the same time as the ordinary fourteen track. Not sure about the title as that means "limited edition", so maybe it was just eponymous and "sonderauflage" only showing it was limited. A special revision nevertheless and even if all cuts on it can be found spread on other early issues of the album the tracking and track order is unique to this...and so is the sleeve design including two swell band pics. The audio is excellent, for exemple "Rattlesnake Shake" comes out clearer and rawer than on the UK first press. Band devotees like me probably have all tracks already, but even if so...still worth it. As it was restricted back then and now seldom seen in the used record parlours, should you be lucky enough to find a copy in one of the cheaper bins - pick, pay and run! First press copies had two-tan labels like this (later one-tan), on thick vinyl in a laminated cover. (GÖXÄ*) (FXÄC*)
