Fleetwood Mac’s third studio album, Then Play On, the last album to feature the late Peter Green, will be reissued on CD and vinyl on September 18, 2020 via BMG.

This deluxe, expanded bookpack edition of the album will feature the original UK tracklisting, plus four bonus tracks, all mastered at half speed for dynamic range, and with the vinyl 2 LP version being pressed on 180g audiophile black vinyl.

The CD will come with a mediabook, while the 2LP will come with a 16 page book pack, with both featuring brand new sleevenotes by Fleetwood biographer Anthony Bozza and a personal foreword by Mick Fleetwood.

The Celebration Edition is being reissued as a prelude to the worldwide release of the Mick Fleetwood And Friends Celebrate The Music Of Peter Green concert film honoring the legacy of Peter Green, set for release later this year.

First released on September 19, 1969, Then Play On was the first of Fleetwood Mac’s original albums to feature Danny Kirwan, and the last with Peter Green, who sadly passed away on July 25, 2020.

The album features some of Fleetwood Mac’s most notable songs, such as "The Green Manilishi", "Searching For Madge", and "Oh Well Pts. 1 & 2".
