Fleetwood Mac - 25 Years: The Chain (4CD, 1992)

In 1992 Fleetwood Mac had reached their 25th year as a band. This {now deleted} 4 CD box set was the half-hearted attempt by the band's record company to celebrate a 1/4 century of the music from the mighty mac, but it lacks a bit of the attack that made them mighty to begin with. Well, there is both good news and bad to report about this box set collection. With 72 tracks included here, there is a good portion of songs that represent the early Peter Green years of 1967-1970. Nine selections appear from the "Middle Years" {post Green, pre Buckingham-Nicks.} And the rest is of course from the Buckingham-Nicks years of 1975 onwards. Some tracks are presented in alternate mixes {"Lay It Down", "Angel."} Five un-released tracks mark their first appearance on a Fleetwood Mac CD. A new batch of songs (four) new recordings were produced for inclusion on this set.
