time passes quicker when you are enjoying yourself.this was but a (forgivr the pun) fleeting moment.hauntingly beautiful and much more real than the common studio produced version.thankyou for confirming that peter was the real creative component for the mac.
Ya can be homesick for a land that has been left ... but also be "homesick" for those times when music had layed prints in ya heart... this was surely one of them.
Listening to this melody always stired my emotions ... like being on a huge ship out on the deep blue ... waves crushing the Ocean for weeks.
wow always thought the original is the best instrumental ever but i must say this is fantastic it gives you that wonderful futuristic sound someone should maybe think about re releasing this version thanks for uploading it
the shadows version is better than this and the original is much better than this as well why spoil a good tune by putting those stupid overdubs on it????
before Danny Kirwan joined Peter Green was going to leave music, he was getting little help from the band: Danny joined & wrote half the songs for the new album, even taking over lead guitar much of the time in the studio & on stage: Peter stayed as a result & this freed him up to produce his best music ever, including this classic: Peter now says that it could not have been without Danny since he changed the course of the song when Peter was trying to write it: making it the song we love.
I had albatross playing throughout my labour. Wish I'd had this version then! This song is my 'happy place' whenever I'm in pain, ie, injections, contractions and epidurals lol
Nice freshening up. This version is most worthwhile, if you had any fondness for the old original. Stick with it at the shift, it climbs out of the fatal rut the old version had. Thanks Peter!
This isn't a remix of the original version of Albatross. it's a re-recording of the song by Chris Coco and Peter Green. It seems that Chris did his own cover and there are versions with Peter Green playing with him. These are all recent recordings.
I have updated the description on this track and included the details of the album that the track came from for those that have been asking....so check the description above..........Hope it helps.
This isn't the old Mac...I'm pretty sure. If anything, that's Christine McVie on keyboards. So, post Peter Green...unless it was from the time after Jeremy left and Peter filled in...any details on when and where this was recorded? But, I do like it. Would be great to have on an alarm clock to wake up to.
I thought I was very familiar with this FM line up but I too have never heard this before. I'm freakin'. THANK YOU for sharing such a stunning upload. Is it on vinyl or cd?
Danny Kirwan, get well and please play again. You have NO IDEA just how much talent you possess and how your music has grown even better through the decades.
Superb version of a great instumental. Anybody that enjoys this should check out Underway, from Then Play On.
