This was the first greatest hits package from the rock band Fleetwood Mac, covering the period from the band's beginning in 1968 through 1971, in its original incarnation led by guitarist Peter Green. Part of the second British blues boom of the late 1960s, Fleetwood Mac enjoyed several hit singles in the United Kingdom, collated here for this album issued on CBS Records only in the U.K., but available in the United States as an import.

The single "Black Magic Woman" received exposure in the U.S. via a cover by the San Francisco group Santana, who placed their version in the Billboard Top 40.

Long out of print, it has been replaced on compact disc by the 2002 compilation "The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" on the Sony International label, which now owns the Columbia/CBS catalogue.

A very similar release with the same title and same cover was released by Sony BMG in 1989, but consisted of the tracks from "The Pious Bird of Good Omen" plus "Shake Your Moneymaker" and "Love That Burns".

A full size photo of the post-Green line up of the band with Christine McVie (née Perfect) is shown in the gatefold, even though she just plays piano on a couple tracks and wasn't a full-fledged member until after "Kiln House" was released.

"The Green Manalishi", "Oh, Well", "Rattlesnake Shake", and "Dragonfly" were licenced from Warner (then Kinney), "Man of the World" from Immediate, and the others were on Blue Horizon originally.
