| Three classic singles from the Peter Green era of Fleetwood Mac. They venture away from the more traditional blues numbers into almost prog territory. Pick your favourite. |

Three great songs. The full version of "Oh well" with the acoustic section is wonderful.
I went for "Green Manalishi" though, that song has so much power and menace to it.

| Fleetwood Mac were, imho, one of the great singles bands of the era despite their blues rock credibility. Man Of The World is a lovely song, so that gets my vote. |

I love all three but Man of the World is beautiful.
My favourite song of theirs from this period is Dragonfly. -------------

Well I love Judas Priests version of Green Manalishi, so my vote goes thither! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

Where's Albatross? My vote went with "The Green Manalishi". The live version of this is wonderful. "Man of the World" is one of my favourite songs ever, but the original recording quality is dreadful. "Oh Well, Part 1" is not as good as "Oh Well, Part 2", but the whole package is wonderful. They had so many wonderful tracks. The B.B.C. version of "Sandy Mary" (which of course originally started life as an instrumental as part of the "Madge Sessions", I believe) is great, but the B.B.C. version cuts out a lot, so you need to get the full version elsewhere. -------------

Stevie and Lindsey killed Fleetwood. Shame Pete had to get all drugged up and stuff and leave. Nice to see a poll about the good old days. |

Saw PG FM a week after Albatross drop off the no. 1 spot in the UK charts - cost half a crown!. Peter Green refused to play Albatross with the memorable words (said in an east end accent) f*** off we don't play that **** in a proper blues club! I had been moonlighting in a record shop on Saturdays flogging that single to twonks who would ask for "the number one",
I would query: "Albert Ross?"
and get the reply "yes mate, Albert Ross" -
I wonder how many still think that tune is called Albert Ross?
However, once sold a Todd Rundgren album to a Wizzard fan who was convinced that because Wizard was on the LP sleeve it had to be a Roy Wood special - and the customer never returned it???! ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

I've heard a rumour on the musical grapevine that Albatross was played by session players... or at least the Peter Green part. Has anyone else heard this?

I saw PG in the mid-late 1980s at St Albans City Hall (great little venue) on the back of the 'Kolors' album & he did play a beautiful version of "Albert". As far as the poll goes, though, I love all three tracks, but I'm with Snowie, backing Green Manalishi (for the nostalgic Judas Priest connection...) -------------

Anybody heard the avant jazz interpretation I think by George Russell of Oh Well? ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS. CLICK ON: http://www.lborosu.org.uk/media/lcr/live.php - http://www.lborosu.org.uk/media/lcr/live.php Host by PA's Dick Heath. |

I deliberately omitted the ubiqitous Albatross, as much as I love it. It's never been the same for me since the Python sketch ("do you get wafers with it?").

If Oh Well (part 2) isn't included, than I have to go for The Green Manalishi. Fantastic song, fantastic lyrics!
It would have been a tough choice though in case Oh Well (part 2) would have been included. ------------- I'm running still, I shall until, one day I hope that I'll arrive |

I didn't include it because it was the B-side. |

Actuzally the whole 9 minutes of Oh Well were released on the single. It was cut down in half and both halves were plastered on the each vinyl sides.
So the sigle read as follows:
Side A: Oh Well Pt1
Side B: Oh Well Pt2
I think that another single of that era was World In Harmony

| The best way to here "Oh well" is somewhere like the "Greatest hits" album where the two parts play as a complete song. |
