Stevie Nicks And Mick Fleetwood Devastated By Bob Welch's Death
 

The Welch years were incredible. When I got into the MAC in 1977 and as a young kid that couldn't wait to get more music from the current lineup I went and bought their back catalog of music. I'm so glad that I did. To this day I appreciate all of their chapters, with the Welch years being high on the list.

I love that entire era of the band 1971-1974. Though they weren't busting up the charts or making huge amounts of money, they were still a relatively successful band, releasing albums, and touring consistently, despite all the personnel changes. Those albums -- Kiln House, Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin, Mystery to Me, Heroes are Hard to Find -- have a wealth of great songs. I enjoy all of them. Bob kept the band alive. In a backhanded way, we can thank him for the Rumours era.

I have been a Fleetwood Mac fan since I was a small child in the 70's. Throughout the years, I have bought and owned Fleetwood Mac music in the form of LP, 8 Track, Cassette, and CD's. Sadly, in keeping with technology, these formats have all but disappeared from my music collection. The Fleetwood Mac CD's that I own gather dust in a corner.

I now purchase all music through downloading and stream through BLUE TOOTH AUDIO in my car and at home. Although I resisted this, IT IS SO EASY AND CONVENIENT. No more lugging cd's around!

PROBLEM: Why can I NOT FIND any PRE-1975/Bob Welch Fleetwood Mac music available for DOWNLOAD on iTunes or Amazon. I would LOVE to add classic albums like "Bare Trees", "Mystery To Me", "Heroes Are Hard To Find" and "Future Games" to my IPhone5s playlist. While I have been able to find classic Mac albums like "Mr. Wonderful" and "The Pious Bird of Good Omen" on ITunes, the rest of PRE-Buck/Nicks music remains largely unavailable for download. WHERE'S THE WELCH LOVE? Can someone tell me where to download these tunes? :distress:

Yes, I am very frustrated that I am unable to locate anything from "Mystery To Me" available for download from iTunes. It's a real bummer, I am forever praising the pre-rumours lineup to my friends,yet my iPod does not showcase this.
