Show‐Biz Blues: 1968 to 1970, Volume 2
Show-Biz Blues: 1968 to 1970, Volume 2 is a compilation of Fleetwood Mac outtakes and unreleased tracks from the band's earliest line-up, released on 26 June 2001 by Receiver Records. None of the material had been issued officially before, so it offers a rare look at the group while they were still a British blues rock band.
It came as a double vinyl LP and a double CD, with a booklet of extensive notes and anecdotes, and it was the companion to The Vaudeville Years of Fleetwood Mac 1968–1970. The period covers the albums from Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac through to Kiln House, long before Rumours made the name a household one. If you like the band's blues roots, this is a good place to hear what was left in the vaults.
