With this album, years of personnel changes ended for Fleetwood Mac with the departure of guitarist Bob Welch. The remaining core of the group (Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie) invited guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham and singer Stevie Nicks to join, and thus began the most commercially successful period for Fleetwood Mac. With 3 strong songwriters in Nicks, Buckingham and Christine McVie, FLEETWOOD MAC was their first number-1 album.

Released in 1975, Fleetwood Mac's self titled album was a complete change for the british blues rock group. With the addition of singer/songwriters Lindsey Buckingham and his girlfriend Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac had their most successful album in years. No longer a blues rock group, they were now pop rock and the album "Fleetwood Mac" spawned three major hits in "Rhiannon", "Over My Haed" and "Say You Love Me". The album as a whole featured some excellent well written songs such as "Monday Morning", "Landslide", "Blue Letter", "World Turning" and the above mentioned hits. Also, included on this newly remastered cd are five bonus tracks "Jam #2" (a five and a half minute instrumental which features Christine McVie's keyboards and Lindsey Buckingham's guitars), "Say You Love Me" (Single Version) (This version is harder rocking than it's album version), "Rhiannon" (Single Version), "Over My Head" (Single Version), and "Blue Letter" (Single Version). The sound quality is excellent due to remastering and far surpasses the older version. If you enjoy listening to seventy's rock then you'll love this cd.
