FLEETWOOD MAC "Black Magic Woman" GERMAN 3 LP BOX SET LEGENDARY 1970 BOSTON TEA PARTY RECORDINGS - NEAR MINT
FLEETWOOD MAC
Black Magic Woman (3 LP BOX)
SCARCE 3 LP BOX SET PRESSED AND RELEASED IN WEST GERMANY (ONLY) ON PLATINUM RECORDS (9043/3) OF FLEETWOOD MAC'S LEGENDARY BOSTON TEA PARTY RECORDINGS
I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND MUCH INFORMATION ON THIS RELEASE (NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE), OR THE DATE IT WAS ISSUED, BUT AS IT IS PRESSED IN WEST GERMANY IT HAS TO BE PRE-UNIFICATION, SO PRE-1989
THE THREE LPs ARE INDIVIDUALLY TITLED RATTLESNAKE SHAKE, MADISON BLUES & OH WELL AND THE LIVE RECORDING QUALITY IS REALLY STUNNING WITH A TREMENDOUSLY ATMOSPHERIC SOUND
RECORDED OVER THREE NIGHTS IN FEBRUARY 1970 THIS IS A SENSATIONAL DOCUMENT OF FLEETWOOD MAC AT THE ABSOLUTE PEAK OF THEIR POWERS - GREAT STUFF AND VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Perhaps the definitive live document of the original Fleetwood Mac and recorded at a crucial point in the band's history.
By 1970, Fleetwood Mac had achieved fame both in their native U.K. and in the U.S., and their pioneering blues-rock was beginning to be influenced by American groups like the Grateful Dead (as evidenced by the extended jams on this record).
They were also about to fall apart, as Green was headed towards a mental breakdown and eventual abandonment of his group.
This three-volume set then, could be seen as something of a swan song.
"WorldIn Harmony" is further proof of the aforementioned Dead influence; the tune is a departure from the more traditional blues-orientation of the group's early material and "Oh Well", one of the original Mac's best-known tunes, is presented here in a blazing version that showcases the band's guitar firepower.
RECORD ONE: OH WELL
Side One: Oh Well / Like It This Way / World In Harmony / Only You
Side Two: Black Magic Woman / Jumpin' At Shadows / Can't Hold On
RECORD TWO: RATTLESNAKE SHAKE
Side One: Rattlesnake Shake
Side Two: Keep A Knocking / Red Hot Mama / Green Manalishi
RECORD THREE: MADISON BLUES
Side One: Madison Blues / Sandy Mary / Stranger Blues / Great Balls Of Fire / Jenny Jenny
Side Two: Got To Move / Oh Baby / Teenage Darling / Loving Kind / Tutti Frutti
CONDITION WISE, ALL THREE LPs HAVE SEEN LITTLE PLAY AND DELIVER PRACTICALLY FLAWLESS SOUND THROUGHOUT AND ARE CRITICALLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT FOR AUDIO
THE BOX IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE - CLEAN, FRESH AND UNMARKED AND AS-NEW BUT FOR A SMALL SPLIT ON THE SPINE ON THE BOX LID AND SOME RUBBING ON THE TOP OF THE BOTTOM SECTION (both quite minor - please see photos) - EXCELLENT
(NOTE: RECORD ONE; "Oh Well", HAS THE SIDE TWO LABEL PRESSED ON BOTH SIDES)
PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE ITEM
I HAVE UPLOADED AS MANY AS I CAN BUT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUPPLY ANY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ON REQUEST
A RARE SET (NOT A WORD I USE OFTEN, BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE) OF FLEETWOOD MAC CAUGHT AT THEIR FINEST, LIVE IN 1970
AS WITH ALL MY RECORDS THIS HAS A LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE
