Fleetwood Mac was a triumph from the beginning—their first album was the UK’s bestselling album of 1968. After some low points—when founder Peter Green left, some fans felt that the band continuing was sacrilege—Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined, and their 1977 album,  Rumours , became one of history’s immortals, a true classic that remained on the charts for years and in the public's affection forever. In the press, the ethereal Californian Stevie Nicks, the tormented rocker Lindsey Buckingham, the dignified English rose Christine McVie, the blunt-speaking John McVie, and the loquacious Mick Fleetwood have all regularly been astoundingly candid. This collection of interviews across the entirety of Fleetwood Mac’s career features articles from such celebrated publications as  Crawdaddy ,  New Musical Express ,  Circus ,  Creem ,  Mojo ,  Goldmine ,  Classic Rock ,  Blender , and  Elle , as well as interviews that have never previously appeared in print. Here is the only place you can learn the Fleetwood Mac story from the band members’ own mouths. "A wonderful collection that serves as an in-depth and comprehensive study of the life and times of Fleetwood Mac. As I spent more than eight years living with the band as an intimate companion, reading these revelatory interviews was beyond bittersweet." —Carol Ann Harris, author of  Storms: My Life with Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac "Libraries with pop music titles need to make room for this one, which will appeal to serious and general Fleetwood Mac admirers alike. Fans of Stevie Nicks only will also be delighted." — Library Journal "A must for Fleetwood Mac fans." —Booklist Online Sean Egan  is an author and journalist who has interviewed members of Fleetwood Mac, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Sex Pistols, the Velvet Underground, the Who, and many others.

August 19, 1967
Record Mirror (UK) This is one of the earliest pieces of Fleetwood Mac press exposure, published before "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" had even released a record and before the name of the band had impressed itself on the consciousness of even those who knew about them: Jopling refers to them as "Fleetwood Wing." An example of just how early is provided by the revelation that it's inconceivable to their lead vocalist/lead guitarist/guiding spirit Peter Green that the group might ever abandon the
