New Deluxe Edition of Then Play On due on the 19th Aug 2013

[Andrew Smith]

I found out about this today on another forum. It looks like there's one bonus track. Looks like the UK track listing aswell with the bonus track being World In Harmony, which is tagged on at the end. I just hope the remastering and updated packaging is acceptable. I'm also hoping that this means that the rest of the catalogue is going to get the same treatment soon. Hopefully 1970's Kiln House to 1974's Heroes Are Hard To Find and 1980's Live to 1990's Behind The Mask will follow, although I'm not holding out too much hope yet. The new Deluxe Edition of Then Play On is being released by Rhino/Warner.

And Green Manalishi, which was never included on any previous edition of TPO.

Wish there was some material we couldn't get anywhere else. Let's face it, there has to be something. Or maybe the Vaudeville years shores up all the remaining material.

And "Oh Well" Parts 1 and 2 tacked on at the end of the original UK track order for the album as well (as most people here know, the original album did not include "Oh Well"). I hope they do a good job of remastering the audio for all of this - it has long needed it.

I suspect you're right that the Vaudeville Years and Show-Biz Blues sets already cleaned out the vaults for unissued studio material during that period. It would be nice to have a more complete collection of BBC recordings than the one that's already been issued - wonder if the remaining tracks that we know were recorded for the BBC either no longer exist or only exist in such poor audio quality that they didn't feel they could release them with the earlier set.

Yeah could be. As much as I'm clamoring to get the original World In Harmony on CD quality, I won't get my hopes up for this set sounding better as I recall Martin Birch saying there are clicks all over the place in the original master tape due to the work they had done on it at the time not realizing that was the ramification. Hopefully they can be digitally smoothed over though like a pop/click effect in mp3 editing software when transferring from vinyl etc.

I'm guessing this page relates to the same item (for those that would prefer to order from Amazon US)

Not much but I'll take it.

Deep joy!

I'll buy it if it has a thick little booklet. I kind of prefer Oh Well in the two parts as well.

I like Dead Shrimp Blues in the low-fi version I have, it sounds like some old Paramount/Black Patti 78 with bits of delta mud in the grooves!

Oh, you know an obvious thought for a Disc 2 would be the solo The End Of The Game and 1971-72 singles, and Jeremy's 1970 solo (or would that be best with Kiln House?)

Since Jeremy's first solo album was originally intended to be released simultaneously with TPO, that would be more appropos for the 2nd disc of a remastered TPO.

I keep reading every now & then that there are plans to remaster The End Of The Game, and many comments from those involved have said that there's both better takes & better material that was left in the can than what eventually was used for the album.

Artist: Fleetwood Mac
Title: Then Play On: Deluxe Edition
Release Date: August 20, 2013
Label: Rhino
Format(s): CD, DD

Fleetwood Mac's third album, and first for Warner Brothers, Then Play On will be released in a deluxe edition via Rhino on August 20.

The 18-track set combines the various releases that came out in 1969. The original U.K. LP contained fourteen tracks but the first U.S. release (September 1969) omitted two tracks (One Sunny Day and Without You which would later show up on the compilation English Rose). Two months later, the U.S. edition would be re-released, deleting the songs When You Say and My Dream and adding the progressive radio hit Oh Well. In addition, there were changes in the track order.

The new release presents the U.K. version of the album in the original track order, the single Oh Well (Parts 1 and 2) and the single The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown) / World in Harmony. No word yet on new books or other items included in the set.

Track List:

•Original U.K. Release (September 1969)
◦Coming Your Way
◦Closing My Eyes
◦Fighting for Madge

Yes, probably. It sounds like a great package. And long overdue.

It should have contained the Green Manalishi/World In Harmony single too.
Let's hope it'll be included on the "Then Play On" LP too.
