The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions: 1967–1969
The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions 1967–1969 gathers the early work of Fleetwood Mac, the British blues rock band, into a six-CD boxed set. It covers everything they recorded while signed to the Blue Horizon label, mixing previously released material with outtakes and tracks that had never appeared before. It came out on Columbia on 23 November 1999.
For anyone who only knows the band through the polished records of later years, this is a way back to their beginnings, with the early line-up playing blues. The set comes in a longbox with each disc in its own box, plus a booklet of notes and anecdotes written by Mike Vernon, the producer of these sessions. His account of the period adds a first-hand voice to the music, which includes the albums Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Mr. Wonderful and The Biggest Thing Since Colossus.
