“Fleetwood Mac”, also known as “Peter Green's Fleetwood
Mac”, is the debut studio album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac,
released on 24 February 1968. The album is a mixture of blues covers and
originals penned by guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, who also share
the vocal duties. It is the only album by the band not to feature
keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie in any capacity.
The release of the album brought the band overnight success; in the UK, the album reached No. 4 and stayed on the charts 37 weeks, despite the lack of a hit single. The album barely made the charts in the US, reaching No. 198. Even though the album has sold over a million copies in the UK, it has never received a certification there. As of June 2015, the album has sold over 150,000 copies in the US.
An expanded version of this album was included in the box set “The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions”

“Fleetwood Mac”, cunoscut si ca “Peter’s Green Fleetwood
Mac”, este albumul de studio de debut al trupei britanice de blues rock
Fleetwood Mac, lansat pe 24 februarie 1968. Albumul este un amestec de
preluari de blues si piese originale scrise de chitaristii Peter Green si
Jeremy Spencer, care impart si sarcinile vocale. Este singurul album al trupei
in care nu apare clapara/vocalist Christine McVie in nici o piesa.
Succesul trupei a venit peste noapte la lansarea albumului; in Marea Britanie albumul a atins locul 4 si a stat 37 de saptamani in clasamente, in ciuda faptului ca nu a avut nici un hit pe single. Albumul de-abia a intrat in clasamentele americane, unde a atins doar locul 198. Chiar daca au vandut peste un million de copii in Marea Britanie, nu au primit nici o certificare acolo. Pana in iunie 2015 in Statele Unite se vandusera doar peste 150 de mii de copii.
O versiune extinsa a acestui album a fost inclusa in caseta set “The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions”.
