The two songs deleted from the US lineup had already appeared on the US compilation ' English Rose'. The current CD lineup compiles all songs from the two US LP lineups, both of which were deviations from the original UK song order.

The album has been released with four different song lineups. Jeremy Spencer did not feature on the album apart from 'a couple of piano things' (according to Mick Fleetwood in 'Q' magazine in 1990). It was the first of their original albums to feature Danny Kirwan and the last with Peter Green. It is often considered the best album by the Peter Green lineup of the band, and one of the best rock albums of the late 1960s. On the other hand, when I want to hear brilliant blues rock that never compromises and demands to be heard, I put Then Play On on my turntable and play it loud.'Then Play On' is the third album by blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, first released in September 1969 (see 1969 in music). Sure, Fleetwood Mac and Rumours are great albums that served up anthems for an era, but I can usually hear select cuts from those records while waiting at my bank machine, or at the grocery store.

Side two ends with GreenвЂ™s вЂњBefore the Beginning,вЂќ and his vocals and crying guitar performance are the perfect ending to an almost-perfect record. The groupвЂ™s commitment makes me believe in them. These are exciting, dripping-raw one-key jams, but their presence here feels seamless with the rest of the tracks. In between beautiful orchestrations and heart-wrenching vocals, performance pieces like вЂњSearching for MadgeвЂќ and вЂњFighting for MadgeвЂќ shoulder their way into our listening experience. IвЂ™m impressed by how Then Play On prioritizes what I assume Fleetwood Mac wanted to show of themselves: their ability to create both taut, vocal-led tracks and stunning instrumental workouts. That said, the album version is a nice rendition. ItвЂ™s a reverb-laden sonic exploration, and a performance for the ages that ends with Green playing beautiful, stabbing melodies, long after the entire band has dropped out.

In high school, I found a live extended bootleg version of this song that changed my life. GreenвЂ™s vocal performances, on the other hand, always feel like a confession more than a performance.Д«eing drawn to instrumentals, I was most influenced by вЂњUnderway.вЂќ The song is basically a vamp using the A major 6 chord on the 2nd fret: Just lay your first finger down and вЂ“ presto! вЂ“ you have вЂUnderwayвЂќ! Some vocalists have chops, but it feels like theyвЂ™re playing a role, and I donвЂ™t believe in them. The Peter Green vocal is spoken as much as itвЂ™s sung, and itвЂ™s as laser-direct as the guitars. ItвЂ™s a reverb-laden sonic exploration, and a performance for the ages In high school, I found a live extended bootleg version of 'Underway' that changed my life. (IsnвЂ™t that what we all want?) Again, the rhythm section grinds away. The guitar tones epitomize evil, in the best possible way. вЂњRattlesnake ShakeвЂќ is another masterpiece.

Midway through, it abruptly shifts from a primal rocking blues vamp to a movement with echoes of an Ennio Morricone soundtrack that you might hear as a pair of gunslingers stare one another down in a duel.
