  • Description

    Double LP set featuring vintage live recordings from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

    Earlier this year the current incarnation of Fleetwood Mac embarked on a massive world tour. Dates in North America are being followed by gigs around Europe, Australia and New Zealand. These dates will see the band playing sold-out shows to huge arena crowds and are sure to create another surge of interest in this much-loved band.

    Boston Volume 1 is a 2LP set which features 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 at the first show of a three night residency 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 on 3 separate CD volumes.

    This new vinyl edition of the first of these volumes is pressed on double heavyweight (180g)vinyl with an etched fourth side. It is packaged in a gatefold sleeve with printed inners.
