How on earth do I get iTunes to play an album? I tried the old right click and select play on the drop down menu trick. Which didn't work. 

Now I'm fresh out of ideas.

I'm using Vista Home and iTunes 12.0.1.26.
On iTunes set to Music, on the top-right corner, select "Albums".





Choose the album you want to play.
Press the "play" button on the screen it will open. This will reproduce the entire album's songs.
