Vintage Mac

Performer: Fleetwood Mac
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: Recording information: 1967-1970. This is yet another super-budget compilation of tracks by the original (aka Peter Green/Jeremy Spencer era) Fleetwood Mac. There is little to distinguish it from the other faceless dozens unless you count that several of these cuts are from the live at the BBC sessions, such as "Albatross" (the studio version's better), "Looking for Somebody," and "Man of the World." You already know what's on the rest: "Green Manalishi," "Black Magic Woman," Duster Bennett's "Jumping at Shadows," "Oh Well," and "Rattlesnake Shake," to name most of them. There are ten tracks in all, and if you know anything about the early Fleetwood Mac you already have them. If you don't, check out the more complete double-disc collections that are far more rewarding than this slab. ~ Thom Jurek

Making endless shifts in personnel and style, Fleetwood Mac went from being one of the most original British blues bands of the 1960s--under the leadership of Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood--to becoming purveyors of a smooth, masterful L.A. pop aesthetic that conquered the American airwaves during the '70s. Their most successful album, 1977's RUMOURS--featuring the group's most well-known lineup of Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks--is one of the best-selling records of all time. Although never quite able to repeat that success, the band continued touring and recording off and on for the next three decades in various incarnations.
