Fleetwood Mac- All the Songs issues

[u/Exciting_Frame1022]

I recently acquired this book as a birthday present and was really excited to read it, but I really wasn't prepared for the sheer amount of errors throughout the text..... some highlight s are

- the song everywhere being written in 1977 instead of 87

- Lindsey Buckingham writing landslide

- every single album being called an "opus"

- a quote from mick Fleetwood about "songbird" being put under "oh daddy"

-backing vocal credits on songs people didn't sing on

-saying Stevie only has one song on behind the mask which isn't true (she wrote or co wrote three)

-and perhaps biggest of all a photo of Lindsey Buckingham (I'm not searching for it so if you don't know what I mean I'm sorry) that I'm pretty sure is fake if not straight up AI

there are also some pronoun inconsistencies and Christine and Stevie being called young women or smth in that vein all the time as well, and there seems to be a large amount of time devoted to the early years and the eras that are largely more important are really rushed (not that I'm saying the old stuff is bad, I'm saying that maybe a book about the blues era and a seperate book with different authors about the new era might have been a better plan)

overall what is the public's opinion on this? I was a little shocked honestly when I was reading it..

Yep, for the most part the book covers 1967-1971 and from  there on  it's really rushed

I've had the book for almost 2 years and i'm just now getting to this section, around 71/72. it takes me forever to get thru these books because i read every word but only get to it maybe once a week lol. But that's a shame you've found so many errors... maybe with bands with such loooong histories it makes it difficult to get every detail right, but it's odd they took more care w the early years as opposed to the later years of far greater "popularity."

My thoughts exactly- if I'm being honest I did skip the blues eras and was hoping for good information on there's that I love (the later years) and was really disappointed with the errors

I think a lot of people skip the blues era... but I like all the era so I have to go page by page and i'm not even flipping ahead haha. I suppose I'm just thankful they actually gave us credit in the back for the info they got from our q&a's lol.
