Fleetwood Mac in their original incarnation were led by led by guitarist Peter Green and were leaders of the second British Blues boom of the late 1960s, Fleetwood Mac enjoyed several hit singles in the United Kingdom at that time and these are collated here for this album originally issued on CBS Records only in the U.

S.A via a cover version by Santana, who placed their version in the Billboard Top 40.
