This follows the signing last week of a new contract between Green and Clifford Davis Productions-the company run by the Fleetwood Mac manager-stipulating six albums over the next three years. Release is expected to be on Warner Brothers.
The first album release, scheduled for late summer,will be the only one not to feature newly-recorded material. Titled "Out Of Reach", it is a collection of tracks recorded by Green after he left Fleetwood Mac in May 1970. All the material- consisting mainly of live recordings with some studio tracks- is previously unreleased.
Green, who this week flew to America for a holiday, will start recording new material on his return to this country. He will choose his own session men as necessary. At the moment, he has no plans to form a working band or to play live concerts.

Thank you so much for posting this!
Never read it before. And yes, the "what ifs" come to mind... By the way, 6 albums in 3 years seem pretty heavy, even back then. Clifford Davies reputation as the "Big Bad Manager" isn't really improving...

Yes, this has also been my impression. (I even used to put up compilations of how I imagined "Sandy Mary" to be)
