Fleetwood Mac – Before the Beginning: 1968-1970 Rare Live & Demo Sessions (Remastered) (2019) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Legendary rock group Fleetwood Mac present some of their earliest live recordings on Before the Beginning: Rare Live & Demo Sessions 1968-1970. The recordings were unearthed in the U.S. before being approved for release by the band; they document the group in their early stages, including Peter Green, who left shortly after the recordings in 1970. ~ Liam Martin

Live archive release. Live recordings from 1968 and 1970 have recently been discovered of Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. Not much is known about the live recordings. Discovered unlabelled and by pure luck in the US, their era has been authenticated by experts of the bands blues origins. Fleetwood Mac has given their full approval for the release of these tapes. Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac had a short but hugely prolific career, with the 1968 recording being at the early stages of the band, and the 1970 recording will, in contrast, be one of their final shows before Peter left the band. The recordings were discovered in incredibly good condition considering they have been untouched for over 40 years, they have been restored and provide a vital insight into the very earliest incarnation of one of the world’s biggest bands.
