Fleetwood Mac - Live In London 1968 (CD 2001)

I got this CD as i love Mac's later stuff. I have collected Mac on vinyl then CD from "Rumours" time. I was going retro and finding out how far i could go back and still like their work. As i said i got this CD and another called "The Dream" at the same time. The Dream disc was scratched, but my God the sound quality was really crap. Think of a large pub, your at one end and the band at the other, round a corner, with a room full of noise and everything sounds like it's in an echo chamber. Put all that in mono with very poor recording equipment, say an old hand held mono tape deck with an automatic built-in mic. You cannot here the music or lyrics properly, or at all at times. I threw it aside to try the live '68. To my dismay it was the same track listing, a far clearer rendition one but still low quality by todays standards. This one could be listened to, but it is not really enjoyable. Regardless of the music/lyrics it is just the lack of recording quality that makes both of these CD's not worth it. If you like their modern ('74-present) music, then i would suggest to stay with the albums that have stevie and lindsey or before them with chrissy.
