I wanna get into Pre-Rumours

[doodyhead]

no one mentions Kiln House
best issued pre rumors album/ i would include those recorded during that time even if issued afterwards

how about: live album shrine 69 or live in boston

studio actual release:

peter greens Fleetwood Mac for raw energy and immediacy

mr wonderful f"or the some of the best individual songs of peter green "Love that burns" "rolling man', stop messing round" "lazy poker blues" plus several Spencer/James classics
in the USA most know pre rumors FM by Then Play On (two versions)

but the forgotten classic is "Kiln House"
I say this because they were still a british band at their core then

after that they are california bound

Hello All-- I agree with the overall sentiments expressed. It's hard to choose between "Bare Trees", "Mystery to Me", and "Future Games". All are very good, with great songs to reccommend them. You win every way, imho. Best always, Madelow.

Bare Trees and MTM for sure. You can't go wrong with Mrs. Scarrott.

I'd recommend the following pre-Rumours albums to get:

1. Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac

2. Kiln House

3. Bare Trees

4. Mystery to Me

Each one of these will allow you to sample the sounds of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch.
