  2. Thank you, Farq. Saw them in the Bob Welch phase and was knocked out. Christine was such a vital part of the band. This was really sucky news.

    1. She seemed to have lived a full and mostly fulfilled life, gave happiness to millions, and that's something to celebrate. I'm not one for grieving. I love her voice - that restraint, edged with huskiness, immediately recognisable.

  3. Rest in paradise, Christine.

  4. Christine Perfect: the complete Blue Horizon sessions (which doesn't seem quite complete so I added a few Chicken Shack bonus tracks & artwork).

  6. I'm a huge PG-era Mac fan, but all their iterations produced good stuff, including those perfect (no pun intended) pop songs of the cocaine years. In fact, when I think of my four fave Mac songs I come up with Albatross and Oh Well (Part 2) from the PG era, Hypnotized (sic -- a Yank wrote it, so I'ma retain the Z) from the Bob Welch era, and I'm So Afraid (live, on the LB/SN-era live album). But all my actual Mac albums (i.e., not individual cuts) are from the Peter Green version (including comps like The Vaudeville Years), except for that live one released on the day John Lennon was killed. The side with that live I'm So Afraid is one of the best album sides of all time, finishing with a sublime version of the Beach Boys' Farmer's Daughter.

    1. Stop me if I told this before, but I saw the PG Mac in ooh - 69 or 70. I remember it as being mostly stretched-out jams or "suites", interrupted by Spencer's comedy bits. Green wore full-length white Jesus robes.

    2. When I hear those early shows, I must admit I like it when they don't veer too far from the script (i.e., album song length), even tho I love PG's (and DK's) guitars. Maybe cuz I'm not a musician, I like songs more than I like jams.

    3. I saw them on the UK leg of the Rumours tour. Ms. Perfect (by then Mrs. McVie-slash-the erstwhile Mrs. McVie) was clearly the best musician of them all. Ms. Nicks was diaphanous both in clothing and in voice. And Mr. Buckingham's voice was a lot less less than small-p perfect.

  7. I listened to Future House on my very bracing walk today, and I really enjoyed it thank you. Only near the end did I realise it was one of your cunning compilations, nicely done Farq.

    1. Thank you, Bambi. It wasn't exactly keyhole surgery - I've never thought Jeremy Spencer was anything more than a nodding head dash ornament.
