An excellent compilation covering the Peter Green led years of Fleetwood Mac. It includes all their hit singles together with some of their more commercial tracks that will appeal to blues-rock fans. (US:36)
“Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits covers the Peter Green led band period from 1968 to 1970, when they played exclusively outstanding blues-rock. Therefore, it's no wonder that Green is the author of almost all the songs here. All their early killer hit singles are included. This collection is a must for every serious blues-rock follower.”
“I've had this for ages and still enjoy it. What a great guitarist Peter Green was, an incredible feel and able to express so much with so few notes with a lovely mournful blues voice too. This is a great collection of songs that takes in classical, rock, slow/fast blues styles and even a little psychedelia.”
“Fleetwood Mac were a different band altogether after the departure of Peter Green, and it's clear from this compilation the significance of his role in the quality of the band's output. There is a darkness and intensity in many of these tracks which could never be recaptured in the band's later releases. All in all, an excellent showcase for some outstanding musicianship and inspired songwriting.”
“Lots of non-album tracks and B-sides, plus the best of the early material all in one place. A great place to start if you're exploring the early years.”
“A disparate collection of songs reflecting the fluctuating line-up and power balance of early Fleetwood Mac. The better tracks are the Peter Green-led slow-burners which overshadow the blues standards and cod psychedelia. The outstanding song, though, is Love That Burns a malevolent, brooding slab of blues with vocals issuing from some dark corner I hope never visit.”
”This is an exceptional collection of songs from early Fleetwood Mac when the guitar god Peter Green was on charge ably supported by Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan. Featuring Green's masterpieces Black Magic Woman, Oh Well and the spooky underrated single The Green Manalishi.”
