This week's classic rock album, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of it's US release, the classic US only LP by Fleetwood Mac - English Rose. It was originally a US-only compilation, combining 6 tracks from the UK-only Mr. Wonderful, 3 UK non-album single sides, two not-yet-released songs from the UK version of Then Play On and one other previously unreleased track. It's a hotch-potch to be sure, but it's also one hell of an album!

Those of a sensitive disposition may wish to avert their eyes from MICK FLEETWOOD IN DRAG!!! AGH!!!
