Description
Jeremy Spencer is an album by British blues rock musician Jeremy Spencer, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1967–71. Released on 23 January 1970, this was his first solo album and the first solo album by a then current member of Fleetwood Mac.
The album consisted of a collection of blues and 1950s songs, many of them parodies of other artists or styles. Spencer had already proved his powers of mimicry on the first two Fleetwood Mac albums, and he used this solo project to extend this to other forms of music, such as surf pop on "Surfin' Girl". Other artists that came in for the Spencer treatment were Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley.
Accompanying Spencer on the album were the other members of Fleetwood Mac. This album can be seen as making up for Spencer's absence on the previous Fleetwood Mac album Then Play On.
Record sports the earlier green / yellow reprise label (later pressings were on the orange Reprise label). Record is shiny and clean with some light surface marks. Heavy card gatefold sleeve is clean with a price sticker on the front and some light ring and edge wear, but otherwise in great shape (see photos). Grading is visual only.
