Here is the Melody Maker review for Then Play On, written by Nick Logan - thanks to LesPaul7 for this!
(I re-sized the images so they would fit within the 100K limit, so they lost some sharpness, but they're still legible, especially if you save them and blow up the size a bit)

Trying something else - hopefully these will be easier to read. Thanks again to LesPaul7 for providing these images.

It is always interesting to read something from the past with the benefit of time and knowledge

I could've sworn all these years that "Without You" was a Danny Kirwan song...unless this writer is incorrect. :shrug:

What, you mean you can't trust everything you read? ;)

In fairness, I recall when I first heard the song, I thought it was Peter Green on guitar. I'd say it's Danny playing in his most "Peter Green-style" on that one. After a couple of listens it was obvious that it was Danny on guitar, but it sounds like the writer had only heard the album and "Oh Well" single once before he wrote his review, so I can sort of understand his confusion.

When I first heard it I thought it was PG on guitar as well. SF is probably right, the reviewer only heard it the one time. Although, it definitely doesn't sound like Green's voice!

When I first heard Without You, I absolutely loved it. So I figured it couldn't have been written Peter Green. ;) Still one of my very favourite songs.

Thanks for sharing this! I have two huge books of just reviews collecting new and period reviews (Galactic Ramble and Endless Trip) which I enjoy a lot. :cool:
