THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THE DOUBLE RE-RELEASE ALBUM BY FLEETWOOD MAC WHICH COVERS THE EARLY YEARS OF THE BAND'S EXISTENCE DURING WHICH PETER GREEN WAS THEIR LEGENDARY LEAD GUITARIST.
"THE ORIGINAL FLEETWOOD MAC" WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1971 ON BLUE HORIZON.
"ENGLISH ROSE" WAS AN AMERICAN ALBUM, NEVER OFFICIALLY RELEASED IN THE UK, WHICH PULLED TOGETHER SINGLES, 'B'-SIDES AND ODD TRACKS THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY NOT BEEN RELEASED IN THE US. CONFUSINGLY, CBS THEN DECIDED TO PUT THE TWO ALBUMS TOGETHER AND RELEASE THEM IN THE UK AS A DOUBLE - WHICH IS WHAT IS ON OFFER HERE. WHAT ADDS TO THE CONFUSION IS CBS MANAGED TO PUBLISH THREE DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS FOR THE VARIOUS VERSIONS, ALL OF WHICH APPEAR ON THIS DOUBLE ALBUM AS EITHER LABEL NUMBERS OR ETCINGS IN THE RUN-OUT GROOVES.
WHAT IS NOT AN ISSUE IS THAT THIS DOUBLE ALBUM IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND TELLS THE STORY OF A TOP BRITISH BLUES BAND'S EARLY YEARS.
THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT+. ALL FOUR SIDES RETAIN A DEEP ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND PLAY WITHOUT ANY SKIPS, STICKS OR LOUD POPS, AND NO BACKGROUND NOISE.
THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND UNMARKED AND HAVE VIRTUALLY NO SPINDLE TRACES, INDICATING VERY FEW PLAYS OF THESE RECORDS.
THE UK-MANUFACTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO CREASING, WRITING OR MARKS AND REMAINS CLEAN, BRIGHT AND COLOURFUL WITH A RIGID AN FULLY READABLE SPINE.
THE INNER SLEEVES ARE PLAIN WHITE PAPER.
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSINGS OF THESE TWO ALBUMS ARE NOW EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND, AND EVEN GOOD COPIES OF THIS COMBINED DOUBLE ALBUM ARE SCARCE AND VERY COLLECTABLE.
