Fleetwood Mac was founded in London in July 1967 by ex-Bluesbreakers members, Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood. They quickly became a major force in the UK blues scene with their eponymous first album. After experiencing a personal crisis, the group reorganized under the leadership of Fleetwood and shifted away from blues towards mainstream popularity. Over the years, they have had numerous talented members join and leave the band, including Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Throughout their career, Fleetwood Mac has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Their sound evolved from blues to a more mainstream style that resonated with audiences worldwide. With hits like "Go Your Own Way" and "Rhiannon," they captivated listeners with their unique blend of rock and pop.

In recognition of their contributions to music, Fleetwood Mac was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 as performers. Their enduring legacy continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans alike.

Box Sets

Two live recordings featuring Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac have been found and are being released officially on CD and vinyl as Before The Beginning 1968-1970. The recently discovered recordings date from 1968 and 1970 and were discovered unlabelled in the US, so not much is known about them other than they have been authenticated by experts and approved for release by Fleetwood Mac. These live performances almost bookend Peter Green’s tenure with the band as the 1968 recording represents the band in their early stages while the 1970 recording will, in contrast, be one of their final shows before Peter left the band. The earlier set contains early incarnations of ‘Madison Blues’ and ‘I Need Your Love So Bad’ from the blues era and the likes of ‘Long Tall Sally’ and ‘Willie And The Hand Jive’. The 1970 performance includes ‘Oh Well’, ‘Green Manalishi’ and the UK number one ‘Albatros’.
