In the late 1960s, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, John McVie, and Jeremy Spencer laid the foundation for what would become one of the most storied and successful bands in rock history, Fleetwood Mac. The new collection spans a prolific five-year period that began in 1969 after the band signed with Reprise Records. It includes songs selected from seven studio albums: Then Play On (1969), Kiln House (1970), Future Games (1971), Bare Trees (1972), Penguin (1973), Mystery To Me (1973), and Heroes Are Hard To Find (1974).
Those albums fuelled Fleetwood Mac’s early popularity in the UK and catapulted them into the Top 10 with singles like Oh Well – Pt 1 and The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown). Both tracks are included in the collection along with fan favourites like Rattlesnake Shake, Station Man, Sentimental Lady, Spare Me A Little Of Your Love, and Remember Me.
Between 1969 and 1974, Fleetwood Mac experienced near-constant changes in membership. The new compilation provides a showcase for each lineup, with songs featuring nearly every member from this era, including founders Fleetwood, Green, McVie, and Spencer, plus Christine McVie, Danny Kirwan, Bob Welch, and Bob Weston.
