I hope the sound will be a little better than on my bootleg from Windsor and Live at the Marquee (Receiver Records).

SHAME!
The Windsor tapes have been circulating around the web for years. True FM lovers got hold of it by uncommercial trade. As for me, I offer it FREE for anyone really interested in the early FM years. It can also be found on various torrent sites. The Marquee has been an official release for years now, so nothing new about this.
So I guess some company is trying to make money over the heads of the artists and recording fans involved. Will they receive anything?
And furthermore:

When the omnipotent Peter Green assembled his new band in the Summer of ’67, he’d already decided to name them after his rhythm section - and former colleagues in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers - bassist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood. - Unquote.
We all know that the bands name was inspired by the recording of "Fleetwood Mac", a title given to the instrumental Peter recorded with John and Mick during studio time John Mayall gave him for his birthday.
They even entitled track 4 as "Instrumental", apparantly they don't know that this is the track that started it all (Fleetwood Mac).
They also mentioned:
Qoute -
Unknown to the band these gigs were recorded, by a couple of fans, albeit on primitive, hand-held mini-tape recorders. Fortuitously, these tapes survived…and although lo-fi recordings, of bootleg quality, these remain unique and powerful historical artefacts. - Unqoute.
So what do these "couple of fans" receive from the sellings of the new release?????
