The first release is an 8-CD boxed set that includes remastered versions of all seven studio albums the band recorded between 1969 and 1974, several bonus tracks, and an unreleased 1974 concert recorded just a few months before Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the band.
The set covers a five-year time frame that encompasses several different band line ups, from founding members Fleetwood, Green, McVie and Spencer to later additions like Danny Kirwan, Christine McVie, Dave Walker, BobWelch, and Bob Weston.

‘Kiln House’ (1970), ‘Future Games’ (1971), ‘Bare Trees’ (1972), ‘Penguin’ (1973), ‘Mystery To Me’ (1973) and ‘Heroes Are Hard To Find’ (1974).
The CD set concludes with an unreleased recording of the band’s December 15th 1974 concert at The Record Plant in Sausalito, California. The performance captures the band – Fleetwood, Welch and the McVies – on tour supporting their latest album, ‘Heroes Are Hard To Find’. Originally, the show was simulcast on the legendary Rock Radio Station KSAN-FM in San Francisco.
