I can't think of a better way to spend £5!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - By: Mr. G. Fleming, 15 May 2008 
I have loved alll these tracks from when they were first released & I was a schoolboy,I managed to see them live twice around that time, at the Ulster Halll in Belfast, I generallly don't listen to that much older music & tend to move on,usuallly staying quite contempory, but just about everything on this CD sounds just as great as it always did!
The CD I have been looking for - By: Peter Hodgson, 07 Apr 2008 I saw Peter Green with the original Fleetwood Mac playing live at the Fishmongers Arms, Tottenham in the 60's & have been trying to find a CD which included many of the early tracks & at last I have found it. I agree that Peter Green never received the recognition that he is truly deserves & I rate him as posibly the finest gutarists of that era. I would urge people to buy this CD & listen to it & try to imagine what Fleetwood Mac could have become.
Masterpiece! - By: RUEBEN AMOS RUNACRE, 05 Jul 2007 I would give this cd 10 stars if I could. I am a great fan of the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green when they were first & foremost a blues band. Every song on this is good if not excellent & for me it is a masterpiece & one of my favourite cds in my collection.
sticking to their roots and so much the better. - By: Mr. A. E. Ward Davies, 01 Feb 2007 it's refreshing to say the least that a compilation of fleetwood mac's early years has been released. on the whole, i much prefer this line-up to the later 70s one. the alll-male quartet stick to their blues roots without letting themselves be turned into a commerical pop group. this amazing C.D proves that without a doubt.
best songs on here, are masterpieces like "black magic woman," "albatross," "man of the world," "well okay," etc.
this group present blues music at its very best.
Wrongs righted on the best "Best of..." - By: Laurence Upton, 20 Mar 2006 
There have been compilations before of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, the band he formed after leaving John Mayalll's Bluesbreakers, but this latest one puts right most of the wrongs & omissions of those.
Everything you expect is here including Oh Well Parts 1 & 2 in its full 9 minute glory & without fading out in the middle, where you had to turn over the single, as previous collected versions had; & the previously unreleased US Version of Need Your Love So Bad, which is a superb extended six minute piece, with strings arranged by Mickey Baker (who played guitar on Little Willie John's original). Stop Messin' Round was on the flipside of Need Your Love So Bad, but it is here in the slighter shorter version used on the album Mr. Wonderful.
The towering magnificence of The Green Manalishi is also re-established by its inclusion. The compilation ends with a token track by Chicken Shack, because of Christine McVie's involvement with the band, & the then-recent hit remix of Albatross by Chris Coco, both of which I could have done without in this particular context, perhaps replaced by their first single, Rambling Pony/I Believe My Time Ain't Long.
Peter Green was up there with Hendrix & Clapton in the sixties & as well as his work with Fleetwood Mac it is well worth checking out the album A Hard Road by John Mayalll's Bluesbreakers.
