Here’s a slightly different take on the usual “best of” compilations. In this case, it’s “album tracks” / B sides from the 1970s. The fact that some of the songs are instantly recognizable just shows how much good stuff there was. (Crap like Mr. Bloe aside, that is.)
And yes, if you want some more of the same, here it is. And one more time…
Black River Swamp. NO IDEA where that came from.
This one comes courtesy of Former Drummer Knob, reminding us that not all music was good in the 1970s… just kill me now, Mr. Bloe.
I’m going to get him back for this one, just watch me.
Woke up to this rattling around in my head, and it still hasn’t dissipated. Damn it, Sade.

Dave Mason is reported to have absolutely hated the Headkeeper album — he said the record company complied the songs (from studio outtakes) and released it without him even knowing about it. But it’s one of my favorite albums of all time.
If what he says is true… a lot of bands’ best efforts don’t compare with his outtakes. But that’s Dave Mason for ya.
I saw him playing with Fleetwood Mac when they opened for Crosby, Still & Nash. After the concert, the general consensus in the Men’s Room was that his We Just Disagree solo bit during the Fleetwood Mac set was the highlight of the whole concert.
