Did someone mention greatest hits?
I will just mention to anyone considering buying this on CD: there are two almost identical versions of this CD, this one (which is the same as the old LP's tracklisting), and another which will offer a couple more songs but is missing The Green Manalishi, Man of the World, and Oh Well (pts 1 and 2). So if those songs matter then the one pictured above is the one to go for.
or you could just buy the record

Ok, this has just landed on my welcome mat:
As may have been noted by everyone here, this record is currently being sold on the Amazon for a piffling £6.97 (with free postage if you're a Prime member). The next 40 minutes will tell me whether this is a bargain or if my money would have been better spent on 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps.
Edit: it looks like 'free delivery' is available to all - no need to be a Prime member.

Those tracks are essential, so the version to go for is the one you have.Did someone mention greatest hits?

Worth it just to hear Peter Green. I just hope it hasn't been remastered or otherwise messed up soundwise.Ok, this has just landed on my welcome mat:

Yeah I would say that John Mayall record is a bit of a bargain. In real money works out cheaper than that bargain of the (previous) century, Faust Tapes, which in 1973 sold for 49p.
Nice quiet pressing on heavyweight vinyl, and a surprisingly good recording given its age. And the lineup will no doubt appeal to many on here:
John Mayall - vocals, organ, piano, harmonica, 5 and 9 string guitars
Peter Green - vocals, lead guitar
John McVie - bass guitar
Aynsley Dunbar - drums.

I think the SQ is excellent, though I'm sure you will be better qualified to judge, as this isn't the kind of thing I normally listen to. There is an almost identical looking double album called this, which I read covers everything Peter Green did with John Mayall, but for the price I have no hesitation recommending this.

Unusually for me a whole bunch of Wes Montgomery tracks. Currently Bock to Bock.
