Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On (Full album 1969)

“Then Play On” is the third studio album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 19 September 1969. It was the first of their original albums to feature Danny Kirwan and the last with Peter Green. Jeremy Spencer did not feature on the album apart from "a couple of piano things" (according to Mick Fleetwood in Q magazine in 1990). The album, appearing after the group's sudden success in the pop charts, offered a broader stylistic range than the classic blues of the group's first two albums. The album went on to reach #6 in the UK, subsequently becoming the band's fourth Top 20 hit in a row, as well as their third album to reach the Top 10. The title is taken from the opening line of William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night — "If music be the food of love, play on".
This was the band's first release with Warner/Reprise after being lured away from Blue Horizon and a one-off with Immediate Records. All subsequent Fleetwood Mac albums have been released on Warner. The album, which at its original UK release had an unusually long running time, has been released with four different song line-ups. The original CD compiled all songs from the two US LP versions, both of which omitted tracks from the original UK version. In August 2013, a remastered edition of the album was reissued on vinyl and CD, restoring its original 1969 UK track listing. This version reached No. 112 on the UK Albums chart.

“Then Play On” este al treilea album de studio al trupei britanice de blues-rock Fleetwood Mac, lansat la 19 septembrie 1969. A fost primul din albumele lor originale care il prezinta pe Danny Kirwan si ultimul cu Peter Green. Jeremy Spencer nu apare pe album decat cu “vreo doua lucruri la pian” (conform spuselor lui Mick Fleetwood in Q magazine in 1990). Albumul, aparut dupa succesul subit al trupei in clasamente, ofera o gama stilistica mai larga decat primele doua albume de blues clasic. Albumul a atins locul 6 in Marea Britanie, devenind ulterior al patrulea hit de top 20 al trupei la rand, precum si al treilea care intra in top 10. Titlul este luat din versul de deschidere la piesa "A douasprezecea noapte" de Shakespeare –“Daca muzica ar fi hrana dragostei, atunci cantati-o”.
Aceasta a fost prima lansare cu compania Warner/Reprise dupa ce au fost ademeniti de catre Blue Horizon si apoi o singura lansare la Immediate Records. Toate albumele Fleetwood Mac ce au urmat  au fost lansate la Warner. Albumul, care la lansarea britanica a avut o durata neobisnuita pentru a fi ascultat, a fost lansat cu 4 variante de liste de cantece. CD-ul original e alcatuit din toate cantecele de pe cele 2 versiuni americane, ambele omitand cantece de pe versiunea originala britanica. In august 2013, o editie reimbunatatita a albumului a fost relansata pe vinil si CD, restaurand lista originala de piese. Aceasta versiune a atins locul 12 in clasamentul britanic al albumelor.

Bufnite

Simbol al intelepciunii din cele mai vechi timpuri, bufnita e pasare de prada, dupa cum bine stie toata lumea. Fiecare si-o reprezinta in altfel, insa, in realitate, exista numeroase specii de bufnite, de la maiestuoasele bufnite polare, imaculate si cu un aer nobiliar, la toate celelelalte pe care le puteti admira in galeria de mai jos. Fie ca va amuza, va impresioneaza sau va inspira sa faceti mai des vizite la Gradina Zoologica, fotografiile va vor aminti, cu siguranta, ca frumusetea naturii e adeseori mai diversificata decat poate mintea umana sa cuprinda.
