“Fleetwood Mac” was selling at the same pace as the previous albums initially. Then “Over My Head” came out, however, it wasn’t until news came out that the McVies were divorcing and Stevie and Lindsey were having problems that the album skyrocketed.



I think it was probably Irving.

Well I am that person. I would put Heroes over Bare Trees. Both are great albums but I think its better than Bare Trees. Chart history has nothing to do with it. I would give Mystery To Me the top notch of albums pre-Buck Nicks. But Heroes is definitely not far behind.
