Courtesy of the Johnny Kidd Fan Club, I am proud to be able to offer you this amazing collection of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac on the BBC. Many of these tracks have never been traded or torrented before. Others are upgraded from lesser quality versions that have circulated. 

Of course, when you get Mac live, you don't just get Peter, but also Jeremy doing his Elmore James tunes, and his 50's schtick. I asked Graham Parker (a big Green fan) about seeing them live, he said some of Jeremy's 50's schtick was almost Spinal Tap-ish. But you do get some interesting Jeremy here, especially on May I Have a Talk and Crazy for my Baby 

But the fact remains that these guys were the best blues band in the UK during this time. Listen how they nail Sweet Little Angel, a song Jeff Beck was soon to make part of the JBG set. And Mean Old World, a song Christine would soon bring to Chicken Shack. But for raw emotion, you can't beat Green's solo rendition of Robert Johnson's Dead Shrimp Blues. The old saying was that Johnson's first record in the UK was only bought by three people: Keef, Eric, and Greenie. Cream was doing an adrenaline fired version of Crossroads. Green, however, just sits down and plays Dead Shrimp solo, plaintive and emotional. What balls. 

The details are all on the info sheet--it is a complete rundown of all BBC sessions during this time, meticulously researched. The titles are from BBC log sheets. 

There will be a part two from 69-70, but it won't be coming soon. Surprise tracks are also in the offing. 

I want to publically thank my kind benefactor, if he should see this. 

Lastly, this is for Tom Graves, wherever he is today.
