1968 ORIGINAL BLUES BOOM CLASSIC ~ FIRST MAC LP!
Peter Green's
FLEETWOOD MAC
\ USA - (yellow) Epic Records -
The original 1968 first album by Peter Green & Fleetwood Mac, a legendary bluesrock gem considered a classic amomg the British bluesrock sixties scene...
The album is a mixture of blues covers and originals penned by guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, who also share the vocal duties. Having played with a slew of early-1960s R&B groups (The Bo Street Runners, The Cheynes, Peter B Looners, Shot Gun Express), in 1967 drummer Mick Fleetwood was asked to join John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. As a member of the band, Fleetwood quickly became tight with guitarist Peter Green and bassist John McVie. The three even found time to cut some demo tapes, but before anything could happen, Mayall fired Fleetwood and Green.
Working sessions for producer/Blue Horizon Records owner Mike Vernon, Fleetwood and Green were introduced to former Levi Set Blues Group guitarist Jeremy Spencer. The chemistry proved right and with the addition of bassist Bob Brunning the quartet began playing London pubs. Sharing a common love of the blues, the band began to attract considerable attention, including dates at London's Marquee Club and a slot at the 1967 Windsor Blues Festival. Recently fired from Mayall's Bluesbreakers (common theme running here), John McVie stepped into the band. Billed as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac the line up continued to supplement tour wages by working as Blue Horizon's house band, supporting a slew of American acts recording for the label. Mike Vernon, 1968's cleverly-titled "Fleetwood Mac" offered up a mixture of Green and Spencer penned genre originals and classic blues tunes ...there was no doubting the band's dedication to the blues and the performances were all professional and competent, including Spencer's blazing slide guitar on "Shake Your Money Maker", original bassist Brunning's bass pattern on "Long Grey Mare" and Green's greasy harmonica-propelled "Looking for Somebody" ... Backed by a brief American tour (including an appearance on the Ed Sullivan television show), but the American record buying crowd in the sixties were not commercially into the UK blues and the album hit only at # 198 -- ... (Nice to see Epic spending so much on the album's cover art ...)
