Then Play On
Originally released in 1969, Then Play On marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Fleetwood Mac. It was the bandâs third studio album and the first to feature guitarist and songwriter Danny Kirwan alongside founding members Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie.
The album captures Fleetwood Mac in transition, moving beyond their early Chicago-blues foundations toward a broader and more exploratory rock sound. Peter Greenâs expressive guitar work and songwriting remain central, while Danny Kirwanâs melodic sensibility adds new textures and direction. The result is a rich and varied record that blends blues, psychedelic rock and early progressive influences.
Highlights include the hypnotic instrumental âOh Well,â the haunting âClosing My Eyes,â and the atmospheric âComing Your Way,â showcasing the bandâs growing musical ambition and emotional depth. Then Play On is widely regarded as one of the most important albums from Fleetwood Macâs early era and a key stepping stone in the bandâs creative evolution.
This reissue is presented on 180g stereo vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, offering a beautifully packaged edition of a landmark late-1960s rock album and an essential listen for fans of classic British blues and rock.
