Mum bought rumours in the 1980s and played it to me. Discovering a lot of 1970s stuff I knew of Fleetwood Mac bit thought they were just blues and stuff. I did not know their history then.
After every track I was saying, "oh I know that one it's great!"
Great sound, beautiful harmony and talent to burn in that band.
RIP
