Expanded edition featuring original UK tracklist plus four bonus tracks. Before they set sail for California and a new life as consummate pop songsmiths, Fleetwood Mac were pedigreed British blues rockers with roots in Britains seminal John Mayalls Blues Breakers and their hearts orbiting Chicago and the Mississippi Delta. One of the few surviving albums from that ill-fated, earlier Mac, Then Play On captures them at a potent turning point: the original two-guitar quartet, with founder Peter Greens sinuous leads complemented by Jeremy Spencers shimmering slide guitar, had been augmented by third guitarist Danny Kirwan, a Green protege. Buttressed by Mick Fleetwoods muscular yet restrained drumming and John McVies steady-as-a-heartbeat bass lines, this edition of the band revelled in moody, compelling guitar showpieces that savour texture and line over sheer speed or volume.
Then Play On is the third studio album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 19 September 1969. It was the first of their original albums to feature Danny Kirwan and the last with Peter Green. The album, appearing after the groups sudden success in the pop charts, offered a broader stylistic range than the classic blues of the groups first two albums. The album went on to reach #6 in the UK, subsequently becoming the bands fourth Top 20 hit in a row, as well as their third album to reach the Top 10. The title is taken from the opening line of William Shakespeares play Twelfth Night — "If music be the food of love, play on".
