ORIGINAL FLEETWOOD MAC LINEUP LOOKING TO RECORD AGAIN
WMGK.com

If everything works out, the original Fleetwood Mac lineup from 1967 will hit the studio again this year. That's the word from drummer Mick Fleetwood, who wants guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer to join up with him and bassist John McVie, who are the only ones who've been in every version of the band. While walking the red carpet at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony on Monday (March 14th) in New York City, Fleetwood exclusively told us about the plans to reform the band: "I am actually talking to Peter about doing, making some music, and in truth, we're finding out whether anyone's interested in, in -- whether they want us to make some music, 'cause there's no point in making music if you can't get a record label to do it. I am actually trying quite hard to put those musicians in a studio."


The current Fleetwood Mac lineup -- Fleetwood, McVie, singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, and frontwoman Stevie Nicks -- are enjoying some time apart after the virtually two years they spent together making and touring behind 2003's Say You Will.

The original Fleetwood Mac lineup only made one album, which was called Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac in 1968. They were joined by singer-keyboardist Christine Perfect and guitarist Danny Kirwan for 1968's Mr. Wonderful and 1969's English Rose, although Perfect -- who changed her name to Christine McVie after marrying John McVie -- didn't become a full-time member until 1971 due to contractual issues. Green left after 1969's Then Play On, and Spencer quit during a U.S. tour in 1971. Both men were heavy drug users, and they suffered emotional and mental damage.

Green has been releasing albums steadily since 1997. Fleetwood told LAUNCH that Spencer is doing well, and that they played together about a year ago.
