Rough Trade Essential

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.

'Rumours' by Fleetwood Mac has taken on a life of its own. selling over 30 million copies world-wide, it has assiduously worked its way into so many households since its release in February 1977, that it's become part of the sonic furniture. it is as much a part of that year's landscape as 'never mind the bollocks', 'i feel love' or 'saturday night fever' and arguably the one least tainted by the passage of time. it had been a tumultuous 1970s for fleetwood mac when they came to record this album on america's west coast. after being left rudderless in the wake of founder peter green's departure, the core of drummer mick fleetwood, bassist john mcvie and his keyboard-playing wife, christine had finally found some form of stability and commercial success by adding the young singer-songwriting team of lindsay buckingham and stevie nicks. and then, after tasting triumph, it all fell apart, amidst affairs and acrimony. with every member of the band touched by some degree of relationship hell, they made a trouble-filled, cocaine-fuelled album . . . that sounded like a thousand angels kissing you sweetly on the forehead. buckingham emerges as top dog here; his swooping, ramshackle 'second hand news' (with its euphoric chorus finally arriving two minutes into the song), 'never going back again' and 'go your own way' dominate the album. but it is far from a one-man show - nicks' 'dreams' is a beautifully insistent, sweetly nagging understated plea to lost love, while christine mcvie's 'don't stop', 'songbird' and 'you make loving fun' typify proper, grown-up music. sonically, it's near perfect - there is little fuss, no mess and hardly any waste. if the age was about redundant excess, you are hard pushed to hear any of it on tunes like 'don't stop' or especially 'dreams', which both benefit from incredibly sparing instrumentation - there is so much left out, it makes the tunes somehow seem busier by memory. it became one of biggest records of all time, providing an antidote to the era while remaining entirely in step with its times. it led the group to make its thoroughly crazy yet quite beautiful follow-up, tusk in 1979, bereft of the editing and economy that makes 'rumours' so very special.
