Used FLEETWOOD MAC "Fleetwood Mac"
WHITE VINYL LP - 1975 You are bidding on one used but likely unused copy of the FLEETWOOD MAC vinyl LP "Fleetwood Mac," in limited edition white vinyl from England. The original LP was released in 1975; this one may be newer. Since it is pressed in white vinyl, this is unlikely to be an original release. Also this is a cutout - note the cut marks on the photo below. Produced by Fleetwood Mac and Keith Olson. Recorded at Sound City, Los Angeles. Duration - 42:12. This is a great album with at least four hit songs, and the white vinyl makes it even more special.

Side One: Monday Morning - 2:48 Warm Ways - 3:50 Blue Letter - 2:31 Rhiannon - 4:12 Over My Head - 3:34 Crystal - 5:12 Side Two: Say You Love Me - 4:11 Landslide - 3:05 World Turning - 4:25 Sugar Daddy - 4:09 I'm So Afraid - 4:15

This LP was pressed in England and the jacket was printed in England. The LP and jacket is considered USED but is in excellent condition. (See grading legend below). The disc is graded NM and is not warped; since it is white, it's difficult to see marks. We believe the disc may be unplayed. The jacket is VG+; there is no contact or ring wear on either side and no bends in the cardboard. The inner sleeve is generic white and undamaged. A song lyric sheet is included and is in good condition. The pictures below are of the actual LP.

AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:
It's unfair to say that Fleetwood Mac had no pop pretensions prior to the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks to the lineup in 1975. When they were led by Bob Welch they often flirted with pop, even recording the first version of the unabashedly smooth and sappy "Sentimental Lady," which would later be one of the defining soft rock hits of the late '70s. Still, there's no denying that 1975's Fleetwood Mac represents not just the rebirth of the band, but in effect a second debut for the group -- the introduction of a band that would dominate the sound of American and British mainstream pop for the next seven years. In fact, in retrospect, it's rather stunning how thoroughly Buckingham and Nicks, who had previously recorded as a duo and were romantically entangled in the past, overtook the British blues band.

As soon as the Californian duo came onboard, Fleetwood Mac turned into a West Coast pop/rock band, transforming the very identity of the band and pushing the band's other songwriter, keyboardist Christine McVie, to a kindred soft rock sound. It could have all been too mellow if it weren't for the nervy, restless spirit of Buckingham, whose insistent opener, "Monday Morning," sets the tone for the rest of the album, as well the next few years of the group's career. Surging with a pushily melodic chorus and a breezy Californian feel, the song has little to do with anything the Mac had done before this, and it is a positively brilliant slice of pop songwriting, simultaneously urgent and timeless.

After that barnstorming opener, Buckingham lies back a bit, contributing only two other songs -- a cover of Richard Curtis' "Blue Letter," the second best up-tempo song here, and the closer, "I'm So Afraid" -- while the rest of the album is given over to the wily spirits of Nicks and McVie, whose singles "Rhiannon," "Say You Love Me," and "Over My Head" deservedly made this into a blockbuster. But a bandmember's contribution can never be reduced to his own tracks, and Buckingham not only gives the production depth, he motivates the rest of the band, particularly Nicks and McVie, to do great work, not just on the hit singles but the album tracks that give this record depth. It was diverse without being forced, percolating with innovative ideas, all filtered through an accessible yet sophisticated sensibility. While Rumours had more hits and Tusk was an inspired work of mad genius, Fleetwood Mac wrote the blueprint for Californian soft rock of the late '70s and was the standard the rest were judged by.

We try to grade the condition of a vinyl record conservatively . Records may be considered flat, or not warped, unless otherwise noted. If one side of a record is in better shape than the other, two grades will appear. Records and covers are graded separately.

M = Mint. In all but the rarest cases, still sealed. If we know that an open record has never been played, and the rating otherwise applies, it will be graded mint.
NM = Near mint, or unplayed condition. Cover is near perfect, new looking, with no surface or ring wear.
EX = Only slight signs of wear; very clean, only light surface marks which do not distract significantly from the sound. Cover has only slight surface wear and is still in nice collectible condition.
VG+ = Evidence of play, with moderate surface wear and some minor noise - still plays well. Cover is solid with no breaks but may have minor surface wear or some ring wear.
VG = Overall wear, but no skips or serious defects. May be somewhat noisy during quiet passages. Cover is worn, with considerable ring wear, and may have partially broken edges.
VG- = Playable, but both the record and cover are well worn.
G or G+ = Poor or Rough condition. Holefiller only!
