This was cut the year before she joined, so a bit off track, but IMO the hottest Fleetwood Mac song ever.

 

[Bruce Berry]

Gut punch.

In its satement, McVie’s family said, “She was in the company of her family. We kindly ask that you respect the family’s privacy at this extremely painful time, and we would like everyone to keep Christine in their hearts and remember the life of an incredible human being, and revered musician who was loved universally. RIP Christine McVie.”

I've probably heard more of Christine's singing in the last month than anytime since the '80s with Chevy's electric vehicle ad campaign featuring her vocals.

I think she was a member when it was released. Stevie Nicks joined later.

Agreed.

I may have it wrong, but I think it was released in '69 (it was a Peter Green song, one of his last before he left the band) and believe she joined in '70.

She’s on the cover of the French release, but that could be later than the original release.

This is from the Wiki listing of Personnel on the recording. No mention of her on the recording, only John. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't "in the band," at that point though. Mystery.

Oh Well Part 1

• Peter Green – vocals, electric guitar, dobro
• Danny Kirwan – electric guitar
• John McVie – bass guitar
• Mick Fleetwood – drums, cowbell, congas, maracas, claves

Oh Well Part 2

• Peter Green – classical guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, cello, timpani, clash cymbals
• Jeremy Spencer – piano

Additional Personnel

• Sandra Elsdon – recorder

Definitely interesting! Maybe she joined by the the French release.

For me too.

First album I purchased to play on my new Toby speakers. She was special.

Rest peacefully Christine McVie

I still have a pair of Toby towers and they still sound great.

Been wanting some for a while now.

When Bob Welch left the group, Christine McVie worked in his French Kiss album and her fingerprints are all over it, especially on the most successful song from that album, Sentimental Lady
