SCARCE vintage '70s's pressing collectible of FLEETWOOD MAC's sudden and stunning rise to the moon! "This is an impulsive band," said keyboardist Christine McVie shortly after Fleetwood Mac's early 1975 realignment, whereby Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the longtime core of Christine and John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. "We always did everything on instinct," reflected drummer and cofounder Mick Fleetwood; "People were meant to be in this group." The two newcomers were not even auditioned. The veteran members' offer to join and Buckingham and Nicks' decision to accept were made over margaritas at a get-acquainted dinner in a Mexican restaurant. However unceremonious the circumstances, this particular personnel shift by the indefatigable Fleetwood Mac skyrocketed them to an almost unimaginable level of popularity. Based on their mystical musical alchemy and intriguing mix of personalities, they became the most popular band on the planet during the mid-to-late 1970s. In a way, their triumphs and travails mirrored the moods and mores of the "me decade": the impulsiveness and fun, on the one hand, and the emotional and physical wreckage of an unfettered lifestyle, on the other. It all added up to something that might best be described as sunny angst. Fleetwood Mac's rise from midlevel success to multi platinum superstardom began with the album you are looking at. From its eponymous title on down, Fleetwood Mac heralded a new beginning that took them far from their late-1960s origins as a British blues band. Prior to it, Fleetwood Mac's albums had risen no higher than #34 on the Billboard chart and typically lodged in the 60s or lower. Fleetwood Mac, by contrast, peaked at #1 and paved the way for Rumours, its phenomenal follow-up. That album sold 18 million copies in the U.S. (26 million worldwide) and shattered every sales and chart record. From late 1975 to late 1977, you could not turn on a radio or walk down the street without hearing one of Fleetwood Mac's unbroken chain of hit singles-seven in all, from Fleetwood Ma's "Over My Head" to Rumours' "You Make Loving Fun." They owned the airwaves, AM and FM alike, and were among the first bands to breach that divide. Virtually everyone attuned to pop culture, except for doctrinaire punk-rock aficionados, found themselves subject to the "Mac attack." Their allure was irresistible. Fleetwood Mac was recorded in three months at Sound City. ex- Music Machine member Keith Olsen engineered and co-produced with the band. Because the group had three skilled songwriters - Buckingham, Nicks, and Christine McVie - material was no problem, and there were plenty of tunes already ripe for recording. Several songs intended for Buckingham Nicks' second album instead wound up on their first with Fleetwood Mac, including "Monday Morning," "Landslide," and Nicks' classic "Rhiannon," an intoxicating piece that would become identified with her and the band like no other. Commencing with haunting fingerpicked guitar chords, "Rhiannon" derived its lyrics from Welsh mythology about a good witch and the birds that bore away her pain. Fleetwood Mac's side one closer, "Crystal," had actually appeared in different form on the first Buckingham Nicks record. "I'm So Afraid" was an angst-filled masterpiece of massed guitars and keening vocals ("Agony's torn at my heart too long") that Lindsey Buckingham had been working on for years.
