Description
Third instalment in the trilogy of re-mastered live recordings taken from the original tapes of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, on heavyweight double vinyl
In 2013 Fleetwood Mac embarked on a massive world tour. The dates saw the band playing sold-out shows to huge arena crowds and created another surge of interest in this much-loved band.

7th July 2014 sees Madfish release Fleetwood Mac's Boston Volume 3, a double LP set of live recordings from an earlier era of the band's colourful history. The set features the classic blues line-up of Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer.

Originally recorded at the Boston Tea Party venue over three nights in February 1970, for a planned release later the same year, these recordings were left in the can, unissued, following leader Peter Green's sudden decision to leave the band a few weeks after the dates. Tracks from the shows were eventually released in various forms in the mid-80s but these releases were blighted by poor sound sources.

The discovery of the original 8-track tapes and a number of previously unreleased tracks in the late 90s allowed the material to be re-mixed, re-mastered, and substantially overhauled for release.

This new release brings together all of these re-mastered recordings as a heavyweight gatefold 2LP set to present the final instalment of these historic shows.

FLEETWOOD MAC'S LEGENDARY THREE-NIGHT PERFORMANCE AT THE BOSTON TEA PARTY RELEASED AS MID-PRICE CD TRILOGY - VOLUME 3

DEVASTATING PERFORMANCES REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL TAPES

'Boston' is a CD trilogy which captures a magical night at the Boston Tea Party (Feb 1970). The set features the band at the height of its powers with its classic blues line-up of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan alongside the omnipresent Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.

Originally recorded for a planned release later the same year, these recordings were left in the can, unissued, following leader Peter Green's sudden decision to leave the band a few weeks after the dates. Tracks from the shows were eventually released in various forms in the mid-80's but these releases were blighted by poor sound sources. The discovery of the original 8-track tapes and several previously unreleased tracks in the late 90's allowed the material to be re-mixed, remastered and substantially overhauled for release on 3 separate CD volumes.

This new mid-price trilogy release on separate digipack CD's brings together all these re-mastered recordings to present a complete document of these historic shows, each complete with an 8-page booklet and composite sleeve artwork when the CD's are owned together. 'Boston Volume 1' (SMACDX1135); 'Boston Volume 2' (SMACDX1136); 'Boston Volume 3' (SMACDX1137).
