The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac

Excellent Album

What can u say about FM they r a classic band and this has all of the best tracks, my currant fav band for the moment

Great album - good price

This two disk, 'very best of' collection contains over 30 well chosen Fleetwood Mac tracks with hardly a duff one among them. Anybody who has liked their music will be pleased with this compilation. The music is an excellent mix of outstanding vocals alongside with some first rate instrumentals (especially the guitars) and arrangements. One big plus is the wide range of the content which shows what the band could do and how talented the members were as writers and players. The tracks date from the group's second 'life' from the mid - 1970s onwards and the sound quality is a bit uneven with some tracks having a bit of a harsh sound. If you play your CDs on budget level equipment this may be less noticable but if you are picky about sound quality, you may be disappointed by some tracks. But, overall, this is very likeable collection which will bring back fond memories to those who have not listened to Fleetwood Mac for some time and will please those who want to find out about this classic group and their major contributions to 70's onwards popular music. The notes accompanying the CDs are informative and well produced.

The last Fleetwood Mac `album' I bought was back in the seventies in Vinyl with Albatross and the Green thing.Nearly 40 years later I watched, last week, a documentary about the members who made up the longest line-up of the five piece set of great musicians.I hadn't realised the traumatic relationships the band had experienced. But it was that trauma and love that were the life-blood of their great love songs.I'd always loved their work I know appreciate much more. Despite the faltering persoanl relationships between the couples on stage NOTHING there was nothing that could break the chain. The music and stagecraft was all-important as was their working relationship and this is captured in the double CD.Listening to these wonderful tunes again and listening to the lyrics has given me even more pleasure. I now have a better understanding of the pain, love and energy that went into their work and I can also match that with the experiences I recall when I used to listen to their music.The reasons that their music remains so popular is not just the great rifts, tunes, word craft etc but also the fact that we can put our lives, our selves against the backdrop of the tracks and remember the experiences that we had and are still perhaps to have or experience in some way.As David Wild's cover notes read `The songs collected here offer us scenes from a musical marriage - a highly charged and productive full real harmony and real hurt'...' a long running passion play'.The beauty of this double CD is not that it is a collection of their best work but that re-listening to these great songs brings new meaning every time as you gain more of life's experiences. They are not the same old songs, they are as fresh as they always were.

Brilliant cd

Very good value for money

Lovely to listen to whilst driving
