The cover is great, only issue being someone has jotted down the times of the tracks on the back cover. The spine is perfectly legible and the labels are great, except for someone’s name faintly written on the Side 2 label. The vinyl has some surface marks, but plays through beautifully with a deep clear sound.

This album produced in the aftermath of Jeremy Spencer’s departure from the band and Bob Welch’s arrival and is a much overlooked and underrated album. The writing of Danny Kirwan, Christine McVie and Bob Welch achieves a surprisingly coherent album. Great twin lead guitars and the backbone of John McVie and Mick Fleetwood giving a faultless rhythm section allows the blues/rock album to flow seamlessly from track to track. ‘Woman of a 1000 years’ is a great start and ‘Future games’ is a great psychedelic rock finish to the side. ‘Sands of time’ is one of Danny Kirwan’s best compositions , followed by the beautiful ‘Sometimes’, but they saved best till last, with one of Christine McVie’s best ever tracks ‘Show me a smile’. Great album from start to finish – get a bottle of wine out, turn the lights down and turn the volume up. Heaven!
