Greatest Hits was a compilation of early Fleetwood Mac material released in 1971. It came out on CBS but five of its twelve tracks had been recorded and released after the band had left the label in 1969.
The inner gatefold sleeve featured a photograph of the group's short-lived line-up of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan and the newly added Christine McVie although this configuration did not feature on any tracks here and had already come to an end with Spencer's departure earlier that year.
It is no longer available and was replaced with the longer 2002 compilation The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac although it gained a vinyl re-release in 2010.
The only one of their Blue Horizon single A-sides not to feature was I Believe My Time Ain't Long.
