IThe Very Best of Fleetwood Mac/I? Frankly, it depends where you live, in a sort of "I say tom-ar-toe, you say toe-may-doe" kind of way. Broadly speaking, the most notably interesting (and commercially successful) periods of Fleetwood Mac's episodic history remain the grubby blues of the original Peter Green-led incarnation of the late 1960s (big in Britain but a non-entity in America) and the refined, mid-1970s divorce-dissecting AOR of the Buckingham / Nicks IRumours/I era (big everywhere). It is fairly safe to assume that neither British nor American passport-holders are particularly interested in what happened in between. So then, the UK retail version of IThe Very Best of/I rightly condescends to throw in such Peter Green classics as the instrumental "Albatross" (a Number One single) and "Black Magic Woman" but--and here's the gripe--omits both "On Well" and "Green Manalishi" in favour of such peripherals as the less-than-spectacular 1988 Number 54 hit "Family Man". p It could be worse. The American IVery Best of/I (unlike its British counterpart, a two-CD set available on import) incredulously neglects to include anything from the Peter Green line-up at all, not even the sulky brooding of the sensuous "Man of the World" (possibly the finest song ever written), a little matter that American audiences ought to find time to raise with the United Nations. Still, there can be no quarrel with most of what is on here, after all, there's a sizeable chunk from the Lazarus-style comeback of ITango in the Night/I and the multi-platinum IRumours/I(the gossamer-like timelessness of "Dreams" even managing to withstand a recent faux-folky mauling from the Corrs) it's just that there isn't enough of it. Can someone please hurry up and make CDs that play for two hours? I--Kevin Maidment/I

 A Great Double CD with EXTRAS! December 1, 2002

In the early nineties, every major group put out a BOX SET. Now the trend is to produce a double CD greatest hits package. It's all the rave - Rolling Stones, Elton John, Bee Gees, David Bowie and now Fleetwood Mac. But this is a good thing.pFleetwood Mac's box set was nearly overly inclusive and really only sold to the most devout fans. A few years later, a single 'Greatest Hits" CD was released. Now with the double CD phenomenon, we have a more affordable and better selection of Fleetwood Mac's best. The Enhanced Sound is truly detectable and most of the hit songs are the singles versions, making for some refreshing song openings.pThere is no material before 1975, however, it's a good selection and one that every true fan and every "maybe" fan will enjoy. The liner notes are good and there is a nice songlist with dates and chart notes. There is a fancy CD-ROM attachment with "sales" promotional stuff about the upcoming album, but it's really just another good excuse to keep people from burning a CD copy - yes, with a CD-ROM attachment, most people cannot make copies.pTrivia: It's tough to beleive that a group this popular only had one Number One Hit - "Dreams". They should have had more. This is a great set.
The 'Nearly' Complete Set June 21, 2004

I've always been happy with my Fleetwood Mac Box Set and the 1990 Greatest Hits. But this double CD collection has sixteen more songs than the one from twelve years prior. These include such unforgettable classics like, "Monday Morning", "Silver Springs", "Landslide", "Think About Me' and "Gold Dust Woman". "Family Man" and "Big Love (live)" are some clever Buckingham numbers, but not great. The videos on this Double CD are nice to watch, but one viewing will be all you'll probably need. Still, with the complete and exhaustive Box Set hard to find (and expensive), this surpasses the 1990 Greatest Hits collection by far. This is much more for the average interested fan, but also required for the collector - so it works for everyone.

Overjoyed to see that both Time Warner and Fleetwood Mac have decided to release such a great compilation CD.pThe choice and order of songs is a treat, in particular the early Peter Green soings such as Albatross and Man of the World.pThis CD has been released in advance of an all new Fleetwood MAC CD and World Wide Tour next year.pThis IS the CD you will have in your car, at full volume on your way home from a Fleetwood Mac concert !pA real treat for any Mac fan and even those who arnt into Mac as much as me, as over 90% of the songs of known to all 30 somethings even if they dont know the titles.pCant reccomend this CD anymore than I have.pGo buy it !

I was looking for somewhere to start to begin my Fleetwood Mac education having vague childhood memories of it from the influence of my parents, and I couldn't have picked a better place to start!
