Customer Reviews:
Peter Greens greatest hit is here.......2007-02-19
Albatross - Actually a No 1 hit in England
Black Magic Woman - Original (better) version than Santana's
Need Your Love So Bad - "BB" King song, lose the string section
I Believe My Time Ain't Long - "Elmore James" Done by Spencer, killer slide
Like Crying -early version of Danny's 'then play on' song
essencial Mac.......2006-09-13
For me this record has 70 % of what we must know/ear from the magnificent Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. This is the more psychadelic / experimental side, Albatross and Black Magic Woman are here also, two of the best songs ever recorded by a band, but there's also excellent tracks of experimental blues like Green knows best. Check out also their first record and Mr. Wonderful and after all, Peter Green solo and very experimental album The End of the game.
Albatross in new colours.......2005-12-01
This is a rather different pious bird to the previous CD incarnation of the same album, which was a straight reissue of the LP that first appeared on vinyl courtesy of their old record label in 1969, at the same time as their Reprise album Then Play On. Two tracks taken from the first two albums and two of the band backing Eddie Boyd have been dropped from the new release (although there was room for them), leaving from the original album only the first four singles the band released, in 1967 and 1968: Rambling Pony/I Believe My Time Ain't Long, Black Magic Woman/The Sun Is Shining and Albatross/Jigsaw Puzzle Blues, between them totalling less than fifteen minutes.
Need Your Love So Bad appeared before in its original edit, fading after 3:45 (its B-side, an alternative take of Stop Messin' Round, was not included, and has not been added), but now this album in its new plumage is a protracted homage to the 1955 Little Willie John standard, as about forty-seven and a half minutes of the CD are taken up with various working versions and remixes. We hear the first abandoned try-outs of the song from 11 April 1968, the first three takes from the second session of 28 April and the completed 6:55 master of take four, with overdubbed horns, and strings arranged by Mickey Baker (who played guitar on Little Willie John's original). At the end, Peter Green can be heard to say, "I mucked the ending up." This didn't matter for the single edit, but when the full-length mix was proposed for an American B-side, he returned to the studio in October to re-do his vocal and guitar parts for it, and this superb 'USA Version' (which was never used) closes the album.
The other additional track is an early take of Like Crying, a song that featured on Then Play On, featuring Danny Kirwan and Peter Green alone. All the tracks have been mixed anew from the session multi-track tapes and sound stunning. Bits of studio chat and the odd musical fluff have been allowed to stand, making this more of a documentary study of a band at work than a "best of" collection.

Customer Reviews:
The Best of VERY Early Fleetwood Mac.......2002-07-19
"Pious Bird" is a sampler of sorts of very early Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac (i.e. prior to the Green/Mac classic "Then Play On"). It does include the original "Black Magic Woman," along with some foreshadowing of Peter Green's greatness on "Looking for Somebody" and "Albatross." Otherwise, it's fairly unexceptional, competent 60's British blues - very similar to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, but with a bit more emphasis on guitars.
All in all, good British blues, but not essential.
Peter Greens Mac.......2001-11-16
This is a compilation album but doesn't play like one. These songs sound great together. The blues numbers as always with early Mac are tremendous adding stinging guitar to great standards like Need Your Love So Bad. On two of the blues numbers Eddie Boyd's booming blues voice is put to good use plus on this twelve track CD you get Albatross and Black Magic Woman. They are tracks 7 and 8 on a record dominated by Greens guitar and just show what a variety of uses to which it could be put. Albatross is of course a beautiful guitar instrumental and Black magic Woman(soon to be made famous by Santana)is irresistable with Fleetwoods big Indian Chief drum beats accenting the dark magic of the blues rock mix. This is a favorite CD in my blues collection. It sits next to my Bluesbreakers and Butterfield CD's but it displays an energy(that slide guitar sound) all its own. This band was just getting ready to break into the wilder rock terrain which was to lead to their later blues-rock masterpiece Then Play On but this disc channels that energy into the blues. The only reason these guys aren't better known is that name. The later Mac line-up and their accomplishments overshadowed this branch of the tree. And that name just confuses people. Stevie Nicks playing the blues? Once you've become aquainted with Peter Green you will want to hear his newer Robert Johnson CD's as well,Songbook and Hot Foot Powder. But this is the best CD to start with. And you can hear this stuff played live on Shine 69 if you want to know what they could do with this material in the open air.
Pious bird of good omen.......2000-06-17
This is THE album for (original Peter Greene) Fleetwood Mac lovers. I can't believe no one has reviewed it before now. "Albatross", "Need your love so bad" and "Black Magic Woman" (Fleetwood Mac, not Santana style) are pure bliss, and the rest of the tracks are quite simply incredible unadulterated blues tracks which are a must for any blues fan. ENJOY.
FM w/ Peter Green ROCKS.......2000-06-17
This is definitely one of my fav Fleetwood Mac stadio albums. If ya are a FM after Peter left the band such as Rumor etc, you might not like this bluesy album. However, if ya are a blues fan and/or Peter Green fans, this is a HUGE must!
