Description
CBS S 69011 (1971) Not to be confused with the Rumours-era band this is altogether more potent stuff. The best UK singles band of the late 60s ? Quite possibly on this showing. Full colour sleeve with great live shot, lovely printed inner bag. Disc and packaging all Very Good Greatest Hits was the first hits compilation package from the rock band Fleetwood Mac, covering the period from the band's beginning in 1968 to 1971, mostly in its original incarnation led by guitarist Peter Green. Part of the second British blues boom of the late 1960s, Fleetwood Mac enjoyed several hit singles in the UK, collated here for this album issued on CBS Records only in the UK, but available in the US as an import. The single "Black Magic Woman" received exposure in the US via a cover by the San Francisco group Santana, who placed their version in the Billboard Top 40. The album gatefold shows a full-size photo of the post-Green line up of the band with Christine McVie (née Perfect), even though she just plays piano on a couple of tracks and was not a full member until after Kiln House was released. "The Green Manalishi", "Oh Well", "Rattlesnake Shake", and "Dragonfly" were licensed from Warner (then Kinney) and "Man of the World" from Immediate; the others were on Blue Horizon originally.
