Years back I bought the album. Its not bad it has a lovely country rock feel to it and you can plainly see how it influenced Fleetwood Macs direction after they joined the band.
If nothing else it has one of the most superb songs I have ever heard - FRozen Love its sublime.
Its never been released on CD officially.
I sold my vinyl some years ago but kept the album in a frame on the wall. Friend told me to "search for it" so I did. The version I found is superb
Why this album has not been released on CD or even official download surprises me

A family friend gave me a copy on cassette years ago, I'd virtually forgotten about it. Nice to hear this track again. I remember feeling at the time that I should like this album more than I did, somehow it just didn't quite hit the spot for me even though I really wanted to like it..
I haven't got a cassette player anymore so I couldnt try again even if i wanted to

From what I gather, Lindsey and Stevie, on each side, are both perfectly amenable to a CD release - but apparently it's up to the other side to give the go-ahead. Make of that what you will!

(sheer bloody-mindedness on each side is my guess)

I bought the album way back in the 70s and still have it. A wonderful album and the couple helped to influence the sound of Fleetwood Mac immensely. I also had a number of rare Nicks demos and recordings and even a Fritz (pre Buckingham Nicks) tape. Stevie was such a wonderful and prolific songwriter back then and it was always the songs that she wrote for Fleetwood Mac that stood out. An incredible talent and stunningly beautiful woman.
