His first solo album, recorded just after he left Fleetwood Mac 1970. Initially frowned upon or even hated by many fans of the band or him, especially as it musically had very little to do with their earlier work. Instead we were served slightly edited instrumental jam sessions, more jazzy than anything else and far from the expected blues or rock marvels. But in today's zeitgeist with all that's been inbetween it's gathered quite a few new fans as one of the earliest issues totally consisting of a studio jam, but also for the skilled performances. Here he's backed by among others Alex Dmochowski (who also played with Aynsley Dunbar, Frank Zappa and Heavy Jelly), Nick Buck (Hot Tuna) and Zoot Money (who played with about everyone). The whole thing may be a partly scary trip to take for the already accustomed fan of early Mac, but nonetheless necessary for any openminded music lover. And you also get some of that old familiar Greeny soft guitar in the mid part of "Hidden Depth", while the end of the song is a lot more violent. Question is - was this event a sign of his growing mental illness, or just an easy place for him to go to let off some steam? Maybe both, but I don't care which. It's here and I like it and that's good enough for me. Originally released on vinyl in US, Canada, Japan, Europe and Downunder. Premiere UK orn Reprise (RSLP 9006). UK 2020 CD on Esoteric Recordings (QECLE 2710) came with four bonus tracks. First German had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover. (GÖXÄ*) (FXÄC*)
