Fleetwood Mac are a parody of themselves these days. After sacking their talented guitarist/frontman and filling his shoes with the Crowded Heartbreakers I lost all respect for them.
I suppose because they had the rhythm instruments all recorded together on 1 track of the 4 track tape, if you wanted to boost a frequency, you would boost everything on that track. Boosting low end of the bass guitar would also boost the kick drum etc.
Having just taken early retirement, I'm having to thin the herd.
So here is my 1963 Limelight I ordered in 2019. It hasnt been played much due to Covid hitting shortly after I bought it.
£850 posted in hard supplied case.
Here are the specs:

The video trailers released on YouTube are in fantastic quality. Even the audio recorded on 8mm film reels have been cleaned up.
Anybody bought the 50th Ann remix? Whats it like?
I use a markbass cmd 121 300watt combo for smaller gigs.
It’s more than powerful enough for a loud drummer and guitarist.
there is an extension speaker available for even louder gigs.
Phil Spectors wall of sound has been toned down. It is still there but not quite as over the top as it was.
A lot of people are asking why are all these albums being remixed?
I dont mind.
You have to bear in mind that the the originals were mixed 50 odd years ago to be played on the equipment available at the time.
These days with more advanced technology, its great to hear them in high def.
These look quite interesting. 90 years of recording at Abbey Road. They are giving history lectures in the famous Beatles studio.
Hmm, bit pricey though
