I saw a used copy last week for $15(way too much). There were only two songs on it I liked,the title track and one of Welch&#8217;s best songs &#8220;Sentimental Lady&#8221;.After this record Danny Kirwan was fired from the band. He put out some solo albums but had problems with drugs and alcohol,spending much of the 90&#8217;s homeless. He died in 2018. To replace him the band added singer Dave Walker from Savoy Brown and guitarist Bob Weston. This is the line-up that recorded Penguin,one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums.The penguin is the bands mascot and an animal loved by John McVie. Side one has two good Christine McVie songs &#8220;Remember Me&#8221; and &#8220;Dissatisfied&#8221;,the later one of my favorite songs by her. Bob Welch&#8217;s &#8220;Bright Fire&#8221; is sandwiched in between her two songs and the side closes with a cover of &#8220;(I&#8217;m A)Road Runner&#8221; with Walker singing and playing harmonica. Side two opens with &#8220;The Derelict&#8221; a Dave Walker song with Bob Weston playing banjo. McVie&#8217;s &#8220;Did You Ever Love Me&#8221;,featuring some steel drums, is between more good Welch songs &#8220;Revelation&#8221; and &#8220;Night Watch&#8221; on which Peter Green adds some guitar. &#8220;Caught In The Rain&#8221; the last song is a instrumental by Bob Weston with acoustic guitar and piano. Another used record bought in the late 80&#8217;s, cover and record are in good shape. This record survived the water damage because after moving from Philadelphia to West Reading my &#8220;stereo room&#8221; was a small back bedroom that had room for only about 350 or so records. At this point I separated my favorite records from my less desirable ones and put them in milk crates in a corner of the dining room under the bathroom.They were kept separate until I bought the house I now live in with a finished family room that had the space to put them all together. I do remember having the inside photo of the gatefold cover hanging on the wall at one time in that room in West Reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"304\" height=\"166\" src=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/images-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1609\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/images-1.jpg 304w, http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/images-1-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Future Games the band recorded Bare Trees with the same line-up .I used to have that album but sold&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/2020\/10\/20\/fleetwood-mac-penguin\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fleetwood Mac-Penguin<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1610,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1607\/revisions\/1610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
