MADFISH Boston Volume 2 [VINYL]

Re-mastered vintage live recordings, from the original tapes of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. In 2013 Fleetwood Mac embarked on a massive world tour. The dates so far saw the band playing sold-out shows to huge arena crowds and created another surge of interest in this much-loved band. 26th May 2014 sees Madfish release Fleetwood Mac's Boston Volume 2 is a gatefold 2LP set which collects live recordings from an earlier era of the band's colourful history. The set features the classic blues line-up of Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer. Originally recorded at the Boston Tea Party venue over three nights in February 1970, for a planned release later the same year, these recordings were left in the can, unissued, following leader Peter Green's sudden decision to leave the band a few weeks after the dates. Tracks from the shows were eventually released in various forms in the mid-80s but these releases were blighted by poor sound sources. The discovery of the original 8-track tapes and a number of previously unreleased tracks in the late 90s allowed the material to be re-mixed, re-mastered, and substantially overhauled for release, and Boston Volume 2 follows on from the previous Madfish Records 3 CD set - Boston Volume 1 released in 2013. Introducing Boston Volume 2 is the floating "World in Harmony," the only Peter Green /Danny Kirwin co-written track in the Fleetwood Mac catalogue, and one that, has never appeared on a studio album. The Kirwin/Green interplay throughout the legendary live set is stunning as they push each other past previous limits, driven by the forceful rhythm section of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. This new set brings together all of these re-mastered recordings as a 2 LP set to present the next instalment of these historic shows.
