The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac
This eighty minute delight has come out for a play having seen a 'sort of' early pre-cursor to this double album. Released forty years earlier in 1972 Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits comprised basically a short list of most of Greeny's best with Mac (from 1968 - '71). This later album expands on the fine music he made with his band in those early years.
Edit*, It was of course 30 years ago not forty, doh!!

Double pleasure with a double album of a live recording in Tokyo:

Out in a couple of weeks Bert. It is trax pulled from various albums of Johns of that era.
Neil Diamond - 12 Songs, typical Diamond songs but with a sparse stripped back production.
I was lucky enough to see him at the O2 this Monday on his American Utopia tour. The album is fantastic, intelligent, creative and a real grower as you might expect from Mr. Byrne. Oh and it sounds great on vinyl. Highly recommended
