Pullin from the Stacks - More Jazz 45s!

I was late to the library game, and only own a short stack of these gems, but for folks unaware, some amazing studio musicians (especially in Europe) recorded some of the funkiest and weirdest music on "library" records, that were available to radio and tv producers to use on their shows or elsewhere. Recently I discovered that one of the iconic sound effects associated with the early days of Portland Trailblazers broadcasts that I used to hear all the time as a kid actually came from a 1970s KPM record. 

No tracklist on this one! Dig in.

Pullin from the Stacks - Nothing New

Last week was the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac's self-titled 10th album; released July 11th 1975. It was the first to feature the US duo Lindsey Buckingham (guitars / vocals) & Stevie Nicks (vocals), who joined two of the original members, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, along with his then-partner, the late Christine McVie (keys / vocals). Band founder Peter Green had long since left, but the rhythm section he named the band after remained.

I originally did a Fleetwood Mac tribute mix back in 2013, for the 35th anniversary of 'Rumours'. It's one of my most-streamed mixes from over the years. 

Late last year I remade the mix entirely from scratch, as a pilot for BBC Radio 2.
The commissioning editor told me he liked it, but it was never aired. 

I'm not a fan of 'hard-drive classics', so this felt a good time to upload it.

This version is slightly different to my mix from 12 years ago.
It's a little more succinct (57 mins precisely), uses a few different tracks & samples, and effectively it's all been 'remastered'.

It covers all eras of the band and it's various incarnations, telling the tales of their well-documented personal battles, and their 20+ album legacy that made them one of the most successful bands of all time.
