Instant Gratification: Fleetwood Mac, “The Green Mahalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)”

If we’ve said it once (and we have), we’ve said it 50 times: when a band celebrates its 50th anniversary, what better way to commemorate the occasion than by releasing a compilation featuring 50 songs from throughout those 50 years of music? Well, as far as we’re concerned, there’s no better way, which is why Rhino is releasing Fleetwood Mac’s 50 YEARS – DON’T STOP on November 16.

This will be a pretty spectacular set – it’s going to represent every era of Fleetwood Mac’s career – and to make sure that as many people have an option to pick it up as possible, it’s being released in a variety of formats: a 50-track, 3-CD set, a 5-LP vinyl set, a 20-track single CD, and as a digital download. For that 3-CD version, the first disc covers the period between 1968-1974, the second disc covers the beginning of the Buckingham-Nicks era and stretches from 1975-1980, and the third disc starts with 1982 and stretches all the way to the band’s 2013 EXTENDED PLAY EP.

We know you’re psyched to hear this expansive collection, and we also know that November 16 is still a long way away, but for the time being, we can at least offer up a track for your listening enjoyment: “The Green Mahalishi (With the Two Prong Crown).” Better yet, when you click on that link, you’ll see that you’re also getting another chance to listen to “Oh Well – Pt. 1” and “Rattlesnake Shake,” which we previewed in our previous post about this collection. 

Lastly, before we leave you, we wanted to make sure you knew exactly what was going to be on this thing, so you’ll hopefully say, “Wow, I need to order this right now!” So have your wallet at the ready and start reading…
