Includes Penguin, Mystery to Me, Heroes Are Hard to Find, and an Unreleased 1974 Live Date: Fleetwood Mac 1973 to 1974 4LP + 7" Vinyl Box Set Cut from Original Analog Masters by Chris Bellman

The Fleetwood Mac story is the saga of a British blues band formed in 1967 that became a California-based pop group in the mid-70s. In between came a period where the group shuffled personnel and experimented with styles, all the while releasing solid albums that found a loyal core audience. After Peter Green's exodus in 1970, Fleetwood Mac cut a trio of more easygoing, rock and roll-oriented albums in the early 70s.

Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, and guitarist Bob Welch (a Southern Californian who became the group's first American member) were joined by new recruits Dave Walker (vocals) and Bob Weston (guitar) for the recording of 1973's Penguin. Sans Walker, they cut Mystery to Me later the same year. Again reduced to a quartet with Weston's departure, they released Heroes Are Hard to Find in 1974. The platinum edition of Fleetwood Mac would come together in 1975 with the recruitment of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Fleetwood Mac 1973 to 1974 collects Penguin, Mystery to Me, and Heroes Are Hard to Find plus an unreleased December 1974 live date at the Record Plant. The live performance captures the band – Fleetwood, Welch and the McVies – on tour supporting their latest album, Heroes Are Hard To Find. Originally, the show was simulcast on the legendary rock radio station KSAN-FM in San Francisco. 

To ensure superb sound quality, Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering cut the lacquers for all the albums from the original analog masters, which are pressed on 140-gram vinyl and presented in replica sleeves made to look like the original pressings. As a final touch, the set also includes a 7" single with "For Your Love" (Mono Promo Edit) on one side, and the previously unreleased "Good Things (Come To Those Who Wait)" on the flipside.
