Fleetwood Mac for Three Tune Tuesday Week 58 [Esp/Eng]

Hello friends of the Music community, greetings at the beginning of the month. I'll tell you something, although I've always had the desire to post about music, it's the first time I've made a post about it, and I wanted to bring it here because this community seems excellent to me. It's not that I'm a professional (or amateur) musician, but rather that I grew up listening to good music, and that's something invaluable, because it allows me to appreciate something as beautiful and extraordinary as this art is.

Three Tune Tuesday.

This time I wanted to take advantage of the invitation that @ablaze makes every Tuesday in his [Three Tune Tuesday](https: //peakd.com/hive-193816/@ablaze/sigur-ros-for-three-tune-tuesday-week-58). Last weekend I saw his previous post and I wanted to wait for this new edition, to bring one of the best music bands in English, which according to my criteria have ever existed and this is Fleetwood Mac.

I will not make a biography of this group, nor will I delve into a review of their work, since there is plenty of information about this on the web, as well as in books, magazines, etc.; however, I will talk about how I met this band and my experience listening to their songs; in fact, I have an acetate or LP record of them, that someone gave me decades ago, and of which I share some photographs in this post.

As you can see, it's a compilation album of the band's best songs. This edition was made in Venezuela by Rodven Discos, a company that during the 1980s was the most important record company in my country, as they constantly released both Venezuelan music records (traditional and other genres) and foreign music. . The records were of high quality, beautifully presented and affordable. If you see the price of sale to the public (P.V.P.) that the package brings, it was 140 bolívares of that year (1988), which would be equivalent to 3.85 US dollars at the time (you can consult in the bibliography of this post, the source).

This acetate has the characteristic Fleetwood Mac symbol as its cover, which is a kind of fleur-de-lis on an olive green background. Additionally, it comes with a bond paper insert, which on one side shows photos of the group throughout various presentations, and on the other offers data regarding the compilation, as well as acknowledgments and dedication. Unfortunately I can't play this LP, because I don't currently have the sound equipment for this type of record, I had a very good one, but it deteriorated with use and time.

The first time I heard Fleetwood Mac, (although maybe I had heard them before, but didn't pay attention), was in the early 80's, maybe 1982, on an A.M. radio. from the city where I lived, in a rock program that was broadcast daily in the afternoon, and the song was Dreams. When I heard that beautiful song I was fascinated by the musical quality of the group in general, and especially that drums and those guitars, uff, they sound really good, plus Stevie Nicks' voice is sweet, harmonious and fluid. Although it is a song from the year 1977 (Rumours album), I met it 5 years later and it impacted me. Below I share the link, with which you can enjoy this masterpiece.

Once I knew there was something as cool as Fleetwood Mac on the planet, I tried to keep track of them; of course, in 1982 it was much more complicated than today to keep up with the music, especially in Latin America. At that time there was no Internet, FM radio stations had not arrived in my country, nor did cable television exist, much less the MTV television station; therefore, only the specialized magazines remained, and try to being aware of when they launched the musical premieres on the radio programs; so I settled for trying to find and listen to other songs by the group. But in 1984 this other good song came to my ears, which although it had seen the light of day two years before on the LP “Mirage”, it was at this moment that it was played in Venezuela, and this is the well-known Hold me , which has a very rhythmic sound, which made it a catchy and beautiful melody at the same time. You can hear and see this wonder here:

Aha, I know, it's conformist lyrics, but well, at the time it sounded wonderful to me, also the melody is really good, as always the musical quality of the band is excellent, the intro it's beautiful and again the good sound of the drums takes center stage, in addition, the voices are great. You can enjoy this beautiful song that was included in the acetate “Tango in the Night” (1987). You can enjoy it below:
