The Best Of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac

Countless blues-rock guitar greats emerged during the late '60s -- the most recognizable names being Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. But one who usually gets overlooked is the great Peter Green, who led Fleetwood Mac early in their career. To coincide with the mammoth six-disc box set The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions, a single-disc compilation was issued, The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac (with both releases sharing the same front cover artwork). Although the latter version of Fleetwood Mac is more renowned, it was this early version that influenced a legion of subsequent rock acts, including Aerosmith (who covered Mac's "Rattlesnake Shake"), Judas Priest (who covered "Green Manalishi"), and Gary Moore (who went so far as to purchase Green's favorite Les Paul...from Green himself). And upon investigating this extensive 20-track set, you'll understand why, as the aforementioned tracks, as well as "Albatross," "Stop Messin' Round," and "Shake Your Moneymaker" are all bluesy gems. The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is an exceptional document of Fleetwood Mac's early years. ~ Greg Prato 1 Albatross 2 Black Magic Woman 3 Need Your Love So Bad 4 My Heart Beat Like a Hammer 5 Rollin' Man 6 The Green Manalishi (With the Two Pronged Crown) 7 Man of the World 8 Something Inside Me 9 Looking for Somebody 10 Oh Well 11 Rattlesnake Shake 12 Merry Go Round 13 I Loved Another Woman 14 Need Your Love Tonight 15 Worried Dream 16 Dragonfly 17 Stop Messin' Around 18 Shake Your Moneymaker 19 Chicken Shack - I Would Rather Go Blind 20 Chris Coco - Albatross Peter Green - Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica Jeremy Spencer - Vocals, Guitar, Piano Mick Fleetwood - Drums, Percussion John McVie - Bass Danny Kirwan - Vocals, Guitar Bob Brunning - Bass Christine Perfect - Piano David Howard, Roland Vaughan, Steve Gregory, Johnny Almond - Saxophone Duster Bennett - Harmonica GET PART 1 DOWN HERE GET PART 2 DOWN HERE an amazing live version..
