Fleetwood Mac (1975 Album) - Additional Information

Additional Information

• "Warm Ways" was the first single lifted from the album in 1975 in the UK. It was not released as a single in the United States. All singles from Fleetwood Mac are remixes, noticeably different from the album versions, as included on the 2004 re-issue. A 'single mix' was also created for "Blue Letter" and this version was originally only available as the B-side to the "Warm Ways" single from 1975.
• Although it was written by Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham sang lead on the song "Crystal". It originally appeared (also sung by Lindsey) on the duo's 1973 Buckingham Nicks album. Stevie later recorded it as a solo song (with backing vocals from Sheryl Crow) for the soundtrack of the 1998 film Practical Magic.
• Both "Rhiannon" and "Monday Morning" were written during the Buckingham Nicks days, and performed live by the duo although not recorded. The early version of Rhiannon was played much faster, in what was described by one reviewer of the time as a 'polka' style.
• The album was referenced in the 2000 film High Fidelity, during the scene where lead character Rob (played by John Cusack) is sorting his record collection into autobiographical order while holding a copy of Fleetwood Mac.
• "Landslide" was eventually released as a single in the USA in 1998 after it became one of the most popular tracks from the live reunion album The Dance. It reached #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.
