Fleetwood Mac - B-Sides & Non-Album Singles

The picture above has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but it is a good picture and features two of my favourite people (Stevie and Rick).

The actual purpose of this post is because I received a request via a comment posted on this blog for Lizard People, a rather weird and obscure track from the Behind The Mask album.

I decided to put up all of the non-album B-Sides that I had. Thanks to http://www.buckinghamnicks.net/ and my usual contributor John for these tracks.

The first two tracks are from the post-Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac, featuring Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer. I did think long and hard about making these into a file on their own, but then stopped thinking about it and just put everything in the one file.

Dragonfly and Purple Dancer are two of the better songs that came out of that era of FM, sadly never to make it to a studio album. They were released as a single in 1971.

The rest of the tracks are from the Rumours era and (in the case of Lizard People) post-Rumours FM.

1 - Dragonfly (1971)
2 - Purple Dancer (1971)
3 - Cool Water (1982)
4 - Down Endless Street (1987)
5 - You and I Part I (1987)
6 - Book of Miracles (1987)
7 - Ricky (1987)
8 - Lizard People (1990)
9 - Thrown Down (Single Mix 2003?)

My condensed review is as follows:

1 - Fantastic
2 - Fantastic
3 - What the hell was Lindsey thinking?
4 - Usual Lindsey stuff if you like it
5 - See No. 4
6 - Instrumental track which was meant for the track Juliet which never made it onto Tango In The Night Album. Juliet would appear on Stevie's The Other Side of the Mirror album but didn't really sound like this.
7 - Kind of like No. 4 & No.5 but not as listenable
8 - WTF?
9 - Somewhat better than the album version in parts. Too much music in the background though...

So having said all of that, here is the file, feel free to let me know what you think of the tracks.
