Album Review

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.
