Fleetwood Mac releasing box set of their 1969-1974 work

Fleetwood Mac are releasing a 1974 concert and previously unheard studio track, both part of an upcoming box set chronicling the band's early years. The box set, Fleetwood Mac 1969-1974, is due out September 4th via Rhino. It includes eight CDs, beginning with the band's third studio record, 1969's Then Play On (their final album with founding guitarist Peter Green, and including their classic 1970 single "The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown)" as a bonus track), and continuing with Kiln House (1970), Future Games (1971), Bare Trees (1972), Penguin (1973), Mystery to Me (1973), and Heroes Are Hard to Find (1974), each with bonus material.

In addition, the final record in the set is a live CD called Live From the Record Plant 12-15-74, a recording of their Sausalito, CA concert that year, from shortly before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band. At the time, the band's lineup included drummer Mick Fleetwood, bassist John McVie, singer and keyboardist Christine McVie, and singer and guitarist Bob Welch.

You can view the boxset's entire tracklisting below.

Rhino is also releasing a four-LP vinyl edition of the box set, which includes the records Penguin (1973), Mystery to Me (1973), Heroes Are Hard To Find (1974), and the live album. The set also includes a 7" single of "For Your Love" and a previously unreleased track, "Good Things (Come to Those Who Wait)"-- which Bob Welch previously reworked for his 1979 solo LP, Three Hearts.

You can preorder the limited-edition colored vinyl set here.

Meanwhile, Neil Finn, who, among other things, has more recently been a touring member of Fleetwood Mac, recently released a solo single called "Find Your Way Back Home," which Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie contributed to.
