Greatest Hits

Product Information

And yet its episodic structure works: the moment that celebrated bass riff appears never fails to feel exciting, no matter how many times you’ve heard it. Fleetwood Mac’s solitary UK No 1, Albatross has its roots in dreamy 1950s instrumentals – particularly Chuck Berry’s Deep Feeling – but its flawlessly becalmed atmosphere seems very 1969, fitting a post-psychedelic, 60s comedown mood.

The album assembles the band's hit singles in the UK covering the period from the band's beginning in 1968 to 1971, mostly in its original incarnation led by guitarist Peter Green. In an imaginary alternative history of Fleetwood Mac, Green and guitarist Danny Kirwan keep their mental equilibrium, they refine the tough sound of 1969’s superb Then Play On, and ride a Zeppelin-esque wave of hard rock success in the US. 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.Select "Album" in the "Tipo" field, type "Fleetwood Mac" in the "Artista" field, type "Greatest Hits" in the "Titolo" field and press "cerca". Hypnotised by new wave, particularly Talking Heads, Buckingham steered Rumours’ follow-up down some unexpected paths, not least on its title track, a chaotic, paranoid melange involving a marching band, voices that whisper and shriek, and a leg of lamb being hit with a spatula. The 1988 album draws only on recordings from after Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the group in 1975, omitting earlier hits such as " Albatross" and " Oh Well".

The crowning glory of Fleetwood Mac’s oeuvre and the apotheosis of a certain super-smooth 70s LA studio sound; supposedly rendered terminally unhip by punk, it has been endlessly imitated over the past 20 years.The Chain was famously spliced together from parts of old songs, including a track that had already appeared on Buckingham Nicks’ eponymous 1973 album. Tellingly still in their live set long after Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined, McVie’s beautiful Spare Me a Little of Your Love has a relaxed mood at odds with that album’s rockier inclinations.
