A largely unknown duo whose eponymous\n  debut flopped. An impromptu meeting in a supermarket that led to a fact-finding trip to Sound City Studios. The\n  backstory behind Fleetwood Mac's self-titled album is nearly as incredible as the music on the 1975 recording — a\n  blockbuster that altered pop-rock history, and found newcomers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks permanently\n  changing the profile and popularity of the British ensemble.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, and strictly limited\n  to 7,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set of the nine-times-platinum\n  effort plays with reference-level transparency, dynamics, and detail. Benefitting from stellar groove definition, an\n  ultra-low noise floor, and dead-quiet surfaces, this vinyl edition captures what went down in the California studio\n  with arresting presence, tube-like warmth, and sumptuous tonality.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Honoring the striking elements that make \n  \u003cem\u003eFleetwood Mac\u003c\/em\u003e\n   a generations-spanning favorite, the industry-leading presentation of this UD1S version confirms the reissue's\n  definitive standing. Housed in a gorgeous slipcase, it features premium foil-stamped jackets and\n  faithful-to-the-original graphics. This keepsake is for listeners who want to immerse themselves in everything\n  involved with the album, including the recognizable cover art positioning Mick Fleetwood and John McVie before a\n  doorway — as well as a crystal ball showing their reflection. The hand-drawn script depicting the band's name is now\n  inextricably associated with the quintet's \"White Album\" and identity.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Shepherded by producer Keith Olsen, Fleetwood Mac used its studio time to cultivate and establish intra-band roles.\n  The innate chemistry among the five musicians can be heard here in stunning clarity, the taut albeit flexible rhythms\n  distinguished with palpable grip, the blended vocals and airy harmonies benefitting from seemingly unlimited frequency\n  extension. The thrilling results speak to the band's bond as well as healthy tension that led to recordings that more\n  than five decades later remain revered for their exceptional realism, openness, textures, imaging, and soundstaging.\n  And that says nothing about the freshness of the songs themselves.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Six of those tunes were written or co-written by Buckingham or Nicks, who lent the band — reeling from the departure\n  of guitarist Bob Welch — a diversity, soulfulness, and breadth it lacked in the past. Then again, the romantically\n  involved partners weren't exactly burning up the charts on their own. Their \n  \u003cem\u003eBuckingham Nicks\u003c\/em\u003e\n   LP was largely ignored upon release and found the twosome questioning their futures. But fate has a weird way of\n  operating, and rather than recruiting another six-string blues virtuoso into the mix, Fleetwood Mac called an audible.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Prompted to visit Sound City Studios after telling someone in a grocery store he needed a place to record Fleetwood\n  Mac's tenth album, Fleetwood heard \n  \u003cem\u003eBuckingham Nicks\u003c\/em\u003e\n   played back by Olsen as a demonstration of the studio's capabilities. Unable to forget what he heard, the\n  drummer soon invited Buckingham to join his band. Displaying his now-famous reluctance to cede any creative control,\n  Buckingham initially hedged before accepting on one condition: He and Nicks came as a package.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  That agreement stands as one of the most significant career-altering moves any band ever made. Suffice it to say\n  Nicks' Plan B — \"we can always quit,\" she reasoned to Buckingham — stayed on the backburner. After rehearsing together\n  for just ten days and sussing out potential roles, the new iteration of Fleetwood Mac entered Sound City in January\n  1975 and laid down the tracks for the showstopper \n  \u003cem\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/em\u003e\n   once ranked as the 182nd Greatest Album of All Time (2012).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  In many ways, Fleetwood Mac got far more than they bargained for in taking on the American duo. Buckingham and Nicks\n  arrived loaded for bear. \"Monday Morning,\" \"Rhiannon,\" and \"I'm So Afraid\" had already been workshopped and penciled\n  in for a second Buckingham-Nicks record. \"Crystal\" was re-purposed and re-imagined after its original inclusion\n  on \n  \u003cem\u003eBuckingham Nicks\u003c\/em\u003e\n  .\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Nicks also brought another recently penned song to the sessions, a beautiful gem none other than \"Landslide.\" McVie\n  later admitted that the quality of material triggered a competitive spirit within her and inspired her to take her own\n  songwriting to another level. \"Warm Ways,\" \"Say You Love Me,\" and \"Over My Head\" underscore that determination. Ditto\n  her collaboration with Buckingham on \"World Turning.\"\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Constituting the old Fleetwood Mac in name only, \n  \u003cem\u003eFleetwood Mac\u003c\/em\u003e\n   is the sound and style of an entirely new entity, a rebirth, and a reward for perseverance and a little bit of\n  chance fortune. Above all, however, the album — which peaked at No. 1 on \n  \u003cem\u003eBillboard\u003c\/em\u003e\n   more than a year after its street date — towers as a testament to then-novel combinations of hook-laden power\n  pop, mystical folk, cool R\u0026amp;B, melodic rock 'n' roll and a wondrous balance of perfection and pragmatism, delicate\n  and deliberate, mellow and maverick.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Indeed, from the ocean-swept breeziness of the opening \"Monday Morning\" through the optimistic vibes of the building\n  \"Over My Head\" to the stacked structure of the closing \"I'm So Afraid,\" \n  \u003cem\u003eFleetwood Mac \u003c\/em\u003e\n  contains not a single dull moment or wasted note. In short order, the band would attain even greater commercial\n  success with the subsequent \n  \u003cem\u003eRumours\u003c\/em\u003e\n  . Yet the restless energy, innovative spirit, breath-of-fresh-air newness, and across-the-board fantastic performances\n  of \n  \u003cem\u003eFleetwood Mac\u003c\/em\u003e\n   would never be surpassed.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide One:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMonday Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWarm Ways\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue Letter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRhiannon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOver My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrystal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Three:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSay You Love Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLandslide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorld Turning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide Four:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSugar Daddy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eI'm So Afraid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  MoFi\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Experience Vinyl Preorder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53447694483795,"sku":"MOFY65.1","price":25.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/fleetwood.webp?v=1775810746","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/fleetwood-mac-fleetwood-mac-numbered-limited-edition-180g-45rpm-ultradisc-one-step-box-set-2-vinyl-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
