Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Fleetwood Mac Available Now
UPDATE 2026
We’ve wrote this review shortly after this pressing of the band’s debut came out on Simply Vinyl in 1997.
Sonic Grade: B
This 160 gram Simply Vinyl pressing has excellent sound. This is the early, bluesy Mac, about as far from Rumours as you can get. The sound here dark and smooth like a good British Blues album should be. Simply Vinyl did a superb job here.
Correction: an unnamed mastering engineer at the label that owns the tape did a superb job.
Simply Vinyl isn’t in the business of mastering or remastering anything. They leave that up to the pros at the record labels.
Sometimes those guys screw up and sometimes they get it right.
