There were 2 different versions of this LP, each with slightly different tracks. The CD contains all tracks from both versions.
Personnel: Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, Peter Green (vocals, guitar); Big Walter Horton (harmonica); Mick Fleetwood (drums).
Led by singer-guitarist Peter Green, the first version of Fleetwood Mac was one of England's premier bands and possibly the greatest white blues band ever to emerge from the '60s blues revival. 1969's THEN PLAY ON is their best album and Green's pinnacle achievement. Heavily influenced by Otis Rush, Green had an unusually lyrical style for a blues musician, able to draw on flamenco, folk, even classical guitar--all of which make an appearance in the ambitious instrumental coda to his major opus, "Oh Well." Despite the inclusion of superior modern blues songs like "Rattlesnake Shake" and "Show-Biz Blues," THEN PLAY ON is notable for its instrumentals. Standout cuts range from the dream-like voyages "My Dream" and "Underway" to virtuosic three-guitar jams like "Searching For Madge" and "Fighting For Madge," both of which feature Green's inspired guitar work.

then play on.fleetwood mac is probably one of the greatest folk rock groups of all time time.there music is great and has some form of messege to it which is good because todays music is very unoriginal.i am a big fan of fleetwood mac so i loved this album and i think that any fan of fleetwood mac would like this album.
This is the original blues line up with Peter Green at the helm.. a white jewish guitarist that had the feel of the blues like no other apart from Clapton at the time.
At the time of this albums release the band was at its peak.. with extraordinary following in England and Europe. This album is a cross over from blues roots to Fleetwood Mac originality. Greens guitar play was precise and powerful and his vocals as good as ever. The talent within the band was ulitmatley its own undoing. Powerful guitar and the tightest rythym section you will ever hear. A great album!
