These are the greatest hits of the version of Big Mac that produced Hits with a capital H! While pre-Stevie Nicks-Lindsey Buckingham versions of the group charted in the U.K. five times between 1968 and 1973, the post-blues-rock edition of the band reached unprecedented commercial heights beginning with "Rhiannon," a No. 5 smash in the spring of 1976. It's on this 16-track solid-gold set, along with the rest of the hits up through 1988's "Everywhere." A long version of "Sara" and some bonus tracks are included for extra value. --Steven Stolder

Album Description
UK 17 track edition of this compilation highlighting the hugely successful '70s and '80s period of the band. The tracks have a different running order than the U.S. version and the song 'Over My Head' has been replaced by 'Seven Wonders' and 'Oh Diane' for this import pressing. .Includes songs such as the Stevie Nicks classics "Rhiannon", "Dreams", and "Gypsy", as well as a number of standout tracks by pianist Christine McVie, including "You Make Lovin' Fun" and "Say You Love Me". Additionally, guitarist and songwriter Lindsey Buckingham, who, like Nicks, enjoyed a solo career in addition to putting in time with Fleetwood Mac, is also represented here with excellent songs, including "Go Your Own Way" and "Tusk". This is an excellent primer for anyone unfamiliar with one of the most successful pop bands of a generation. WEA.

Album Details
The Best Recordings of the Buckingham-nicks Era of the Pop Supergroup Includes the Lindsey Buckingham Song "oh Diane" which Does Not Appear on the Us Equivalent Release.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant California Pop-Rock   October 3, 2004
 23 out of 24 found this review helpful

Fleetwood Mac released their first major greatest hits record with this collection. The CD covers the years 1975 - 1988, when the group consisted of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. Although the group formed in 1967 as a blues rock band, they didn't start having big hits in the United States until this period. The CD includes 14 of their 16 U.S. Top 20 hits - only "Don't Think About Me" (#20 in 1980) and "Seven Wonders" (#19 in 1987) are excluded.

Fleetwood Mac recorded some of the most brilliant California pop-rock of the 1970s and 1980s, and this collection represents it well. Their enduring popularity is witnessed by the over eight millions copies this record has sold. In addition, having three talented lead singers and song writers helps make their music so varied. I particularly enjoy Stevie's songs, such as "Rhiannon" (which went to #11, not #5 as stated in the Editorial Review) and "Dreams."

Two additional songs were recorded for inclusion on this set (Lindsey Buckingham had left the group by then). "As Long as You Follow" features a solid vocal by Christine McVie and peaked on the Top 100 at #43 in 1989. "No Questions Asked" is a somewhat cluttered-sounding song featuring Stevie Nicks that's not a particularly strong addition.

Since the release of this CD, of course, Fleetwood Mac has reunited. They also subsequently released the 2-disk "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac," which covers 35 of their songs. Whether you prefer to purchase this CD or the more extensive one obviously would seem to rest on how much depth your Fleetwood Mac collection already has and how deep you want it to go. I'm sticking with this one as I have several of their studio CDs that help fill in some of the gaps, such as the sublime "Landslide."



5 out of 5 stars Fleetwood Mac's Best!   July 22, 2002
 12 out of 13 found this review helpful

Although they recapitulated and brilliantly reinterpreted a lot of the material in here with their marvelous CD, "The Dance" a few years ago, the versions included in this offering are the original studio versions that were both on the original albums and all over the wavelengths of popular FM radio in the seventies and eighties. From the innovative treatment in the opening number of Rhiannon" to the final refrains of "No Questions Asked", this CD treats the listener to all their favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. And all them are indeed here.

Included are "Don't Stop", "Go Your Own Way", "Hold Me", and "Everywhere". Of course, no greatest hits album would be complete without "Gypsy", "You Make Loving Fun", and "Dreams". Also here is "Say You Love Me", "Tusk", "Sara", and "Over My Head". There are few other songs included, so you have well over an hour of exceptional music from one of the most wildly successful rock bands of the last twenty years. This should keep you busy remembering just how good Lindsay Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, the MacVies, and of course, Stevie Nicks were. Who knows, perhaps there will be another reunion! Meanwhile, enjoy this collection of their greatest hits!


4 out of 5 stars Good Choice to Start Your Fleetwood Mac Fandom   January 23, 2000
 11 out of 12 found this review helpful

This album contains many of the charted singles Fleetwood Mac had in its Rumours lineup incarnation, but there were several that may or may not have been singles that could be worthy of a Greatest Hits Volume II - "The Chain," "Second Hand News," "Gold Dust Woman," "Love in Store," "Sisters of the Moon" from the Mirage video...

I remain mystified at some of the choices for the album, such as "As Long As You Follow" for one of two new songs on the album, and I'm puzzled about "Seven Wonders" missing the cut. But, there are plenty of timeless classics on this album ("Rhiannon," "Dreams" -their only US #1),"Go Your Own Way," and ESPECIALLY "Gypsy").


5 out of 5 stars for casual fans first...   August 23, 1999
 9 out of 11 found this review helpful

first off, i love this one. it's fabulous and there's nothing even remotely unlikeable about it. i have pretty much all the Fleetwood Mac albums, but there are two new songs on Greatest Hits (As Long As You Follow and No Questions Asked), so i had to collect it as well. it's great to play at parties because all the songs are so recognizable and blend in wonderfully, and for someone who plans to own only one Fleetwood Mac album, after Rumours, this would be my reccomendation. a problem for people who would have more than one Fleetwood Mac album though is that they may mistake a Greatest Hits album for a Best Of album. by this i mean that one whose first FMac cd was Greatest Hits may walk into a cd store, start thumbing through the FMacs, come across Mirage and read the back and say "hmmmm....well...Gypsy is the only song i really recognize from here...the rest of this stuff may not be worth having," then they'd put the cd back, head to the dance section, and pick up the latest compilation (which will be "hip" for about a month), forever depriving themself of songs like Love In Store (which will never go out of style). also, a band as unstoppable as Fmac puts out more hits than can be captured on one album and technically, anything from Rumours would have been greatest-hits worthy. one shocking omission was The Chain...another thing is that by Fleetwood Mac's greatest hits, they mean the Rumours incarnation of FMac. there's absolutely no Peter Green era stuff on here...but don't get me wrong....i DO love this album.


4 out of 5 stars Missing a Few Hits, But Still Great   December 30, 2002
 7 out of 8 found this review helpful

Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite classic rock bands, though I am more of a Stevie Nicks fan. It's no big surprise, then, that my favorite FM songs are the ones Stevie leads, like "Rhiannon," "Gypsy," "Dreams," and "Sara" (a favorite since my name's Sara, and this is one of the few songs where the spelling's the same). In my opinion, Stevie Nicks' distinctive voice is one of the best attributes of FM.

Visually, there's not much to the booklet, just a couple dozen black-and-white photos of the band, as well as a brief two-page account of a 1988 UK concert. There are also a few hits that seem to be missing, like "Landslide," "The Chain," and "Gold Dust Woman." But as they say, you can't please everybody on a greatest hits album. Yet this CD still gets the job done and is worth owning if you're a FM fan. However, I'd recommend listening to "The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac" instead for the complete hits of FM.
