TCCDM Pulls One Out..."Fleetwood Mac" - Fleetwood Mac (1975)
"Fleetwood Mac" - Fleetwood Mac (1975)
"You can play this record anytime you like. There's a turntable in my basement if you think you might." I didn't really need another copy of Fleetwood Mac's second eponymous album, aka "The White Album," but I just couldn't let the early hype sticker go by. This was the first of a few hypers to show up on this, the band's tenth studio album. Little did Reprise know that this new incarnation of Fleetwood Mac was about to blow up the radio. And this very simple sticker used to help promote the album shows the label's hedge.
The album had a $10 tag stating, "plays fine, but side one scuffed." And it definitely had an ugly scuff. I couldn't feel anything, but the scuff looked nasty. Bad enough...I took the record up to the counter and asked about it. The fella holding down the fort asked if I wanted to play it...or told me I could bring it back if it didn't play well. So, I took it home. Cleaned it up. And the vinyl sounded really clean. A nice player copy. How strangely cool is that?! You just never know. Ranked #182 on Rolling Stone's..."The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

Really?!
This copy isn't the first vinyl pressing of the album…but it is an early press. The album includes a double-sided lyric insert. The spine has a pricing code of 0698. And, of course, the hype sticker on the front. The "KENDUN" in the deadwax indicates a mastering at Kendun Recorders studio. The "POGO ♡" stamp indicates Keith Olsen was involved in the production. The "SXT" and "T" indicate a pressing at a Columbia Records Plant in Santa Maria, CA, and/or Terre Haute, Indiana.
