I always had the feeling that Mick Fleetwood was behind the 1988 release. Fate intervened when Peter Green left the band in May of that year and the LP was shelved. I subsequently learnt that this was the famous Boston Tea Party recording from February 1970, and it was, indeed, meant to be issued as a double live album. There was, unfortunately, no detail provided with the release, apart from a track listing. The Oh Well! double CD pack was obviously a sound board tape, or specially recorded, such was the high quality of the recording and mixing. A good example of the latter was the London Live 68 CD of 1992 - the only other live recording I was able to locate around that time. I later learnt that there had been some bootleg releases of live Fleetwood Mac material over the year, but these were generally crowd-generated and of very low quality. Unfortunately, it was too late for that now (1988), and this semi-bootleg European (Germany and Holland) release on the Commander label was all there was. I asked myself at the time - 'Why wasn't this album released 'back in the day'?' If it had been, I believe it would undoubtedly have gone down as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time. The music therein blew me away upon first hearing, both in regard to the quality of the recording and, of course, the playing and songwriting. That is, until I came across a 1988 double CD package called, somewhat ambiguously, Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well! - Greatest Hits Live. At the time there was no definitive live concert recordings readily available, either historic - as in issued during the life of the band - or subsequent to their demise mid' 1970. I loved the riff-based heavy and psychedelic rock of Green and Kirwan in combination, the emotive solo blues guitar of Green, and Spencer's classic slide work. As a fan of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (1967-70) since the late 1980s, I remember purchasing a couple of Best Of LPs and CDs from that time and through the 1990s, attracted by the guitar work of Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan.
