Fleetwood Mac will have their first four albums reissued as part of a vinyl box-set this August.

Titled Fleetwood Mac 1969-1972, it captures the bluesy group long before their hit-making Rumours period, and before Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie or Lindsey Buckingham were part of the band – though, of course, founder Mick Fleetwood was an ever-present. Then Play On (1969), Kiln House (1970), Future Games (1971) and Bare Trees (1972) are the four albums featured, while the set also comes packaged with a replica of the original 1969 7″ single ‘Oh Well – Pt. 1’ / ‘Oh Well – Pt. 2’.

There will also be an extended reissue of Then Play On (with original UK running order, liner notes by journalist David Fricke and four bonus tracks), released separately. Both will be available on August 20; for more on the reissues click here.

This April, Fleetwood Mac released their first material in a decade in the form of a downloadable EP.
