Description
Two albums comprising four discs + Peter Green bonus lp (more about him in a moment):
1. Fleetwood Mac in Chicago, 1975 double lp - Recorded at Chicago's Chess studios in early 1969, the band then consisted of the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood & John McVie and three guitarists: Peter Green (late of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers), Jeremy Spencer & Danny Kirwan. In Chicago they were joined by an extraordinary group of legendary bluesmen including Honeyboy Edwards (guitar), Otis Spann (piano), Shakey Horton (harmonica), Willie Dixon (bass) and a young guitarist billed only as Guitar Buddy. Legend has it that Buddy's playing was too wild for impresario Leonard Chess who consigned him to backing up the label's established stars. On later releases of the album, Buddy got his last name back. Album is an unplayed Sire white label promo. Jacket is nice, front almost perfect, with a little ringwear on back. Upper right corner clipped by distributor. Gatefold & vinyl flawless.
2. Vintage Years, 1975 double lp - Same great Fleetwood Mac as above (minus the Chicago players), compilation album including "Black Magic Woman" made famous by Santana, but written by the aforementioned Green*. Album is an unplayed Sire white label promo. Jacket is nice, a couple of stickers on front placed there by radio station music department, a little ringwear on back with "Not for Sale" sticker. Gatefold & vinyl flawless.
BONUS LP: Peter Green, In the Skies, 1979 - By 1970, Green, suffering from mental illness, had left Fleetwood Mac. Over the years, he has occasionally recorded under his own name including his second solo album released in the U.S. by Sail Records. Unplayed, NOT a promo. Front of jacket perfect except upper right corner clipped by distributor. Top back has a mark where a piece of tape was removed. Vinyl flawless.
* You know Aerosmith's "Rattlesnake Shake" and "Stop Messin' Around"? Those are Green compositions as is "World Turning" from Fleetwood Mac's self-titled smash crossover into pop-rock after Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks joined the band.

More about the collection: All albums in this and my other listings are from my personal collection dating back to a long-ago career in rock radio. Record sales are not my livelihood, so rather than attempt to grade them using a system in which I have no expertise, I prefer to let the photos and my honest descriptions tell the story. If they're described as unplayed, it's because I never played them and there've been no other owners. (FYI, I have many albums that were played, just haven't listed them. Most are in great condition, so if you're looking for something specific, please let me know.)
