As a HUGE fan of the Green and Welch years, there were a lot of early classics that skipped on the boxed set, while more questionable post-1975 songs made it on. I'm not so sure it was by choice, since the rights to the pre-1975 material can get complicated, as Cliff Adams/Davis owned the rights to the original recordings, but lost them in the divorce from Mich Reynolds (Nigel Watson's sister). Although, technically, I think the band could have re-recorded the songs... Most criminally left off include:
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Believe Me
Remember Me
Miles Away
Before The Beginning
I Loved Another Woman (either the original or Vito)
Tell Me All The Things You Do
Future Games (slightly less so with the alternative version of "Lay It All Down", though THIS was the classic)
Revelation
Bermuda Triangle (although oddly was on the "Selections" set)
Some live version of "Get Like You Used To Be"
The Boston Tea Party version of "Jumpin' At Shadows" (which I still hear at blues fests)
"I'd Rather Go Blind" (okay, not Fleetwood Mac, but Christine's pre-1975 hit)
Any Buckingham Nicks song (i.e. "Don't Let Me Down Again" which couldn't be any less relevant here than on the 1987 set list...)
Really, as a proper introduction to the 1975-1987 band, all they needed were THESE two discs (and sadly, it COULD be an actual set-list if Christine were still in the band):

Oh Well
Sara
Second Hand News
Think About Me [single version]
Gypsy [long version]
Isn’t It Midnight
Oh Diane
Seven Wonders
Hold Me
Not That Funny
Everywhere
Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win) [single version]
I’m So Afraid
DISC 2
Brown Eyes
Big Love
Landslide
Never Going Back Again
World Turning
Little Lies
Gold Dust Woman
Eyes Of The World
Over My Head [single version]
Sisters Of The Moon
Tusk
