£250
square 8vo. original paper-covered boards; illustrated throughout in b&w; signed by Peter Green to page 3; corners a little bumped, very good.
first edition. this is an affectionate memoir of fleetwood mac’s career by the founder member and drummer mick fleetwood. this copy is distinguished by the signature of peter green (who has signed using his full name, peter greenbaum), the band’s original leader and guitarist. one of the foremost guitarists of his time, he shaped fleetwood mac as blues band; the most significant recordings of his era include ‘Albatross’, ‘black magic Woman’ and ‘man of the World’, all of which are graced with his smooth, creamy tone and economically melodic lines. green left the band that he had created in 1970, a victim of drugs and schizophrenia, and lived a reclusive, obscure life, working at menial jobs, while fleetwood mac reinvented itself and went on to greater commercial success than it had ever enjoyed before. green remained out of the spotlight, even selling his famed 1959 les paul guitar, until the late 1990s, when he formed peter green’s splinter group and returned to the music industry. signatures by the shy and private green, especially from the early 1990s, are extremely hard to come by.
