Fleetwood Mac [Peter Green]: Albatross + Man of the World + Oh, Well ['69 BBC]
Fleetwood Mac - Albatross
Fleetwood Mac, originally brought together by Peter Green, were a traditional blues band during the late 1960s, but their smash hit 'Albatross' had broader appeal.
'Albatross' and its follow up 'Man Of The World' were untypical of Fleetwood Mac's stage material, but made the band famous.Fleetwood Mac - Man of the World [Peter Green]

Juke Box Jury [BBC 1960: Nina & Frederik + David McCullum & Jill Ireland: Tillotson & Donnegan] + [N&F: Songs of "Verdens rigeste pige" 1958]
Juke Box Jury: 1960Jurors are:NINA AND FREDERIK+David McCullum and wife, Jill Ireland,before she fucked Charles Bronson]This was a Saturday evening BEEB-polite programme, circa. 1959 - 1967.Here's the Scenario:David Jacobs, the Lord, from behind a desk, sentences the latest, offending 45s to hard labour; or finding them innocent, releases them into the custody of the poxy-faced arms of Blighty.
Defendants:
1. JOHNNY TILLOTSON's, 'POETRY IN MOTION'. Miss Ireland thinks the lyric is, 'SHE'S LIKE A TREE IN MOTION'
+
2. Skiffle-man and Jimmy Page, sideman, LONNIE DONNEGAN, with 'LIVELY' testimonial
After a jury* (usually composed of 'whose currently snogging"), hears the case, deliberates, and within a split-second, tritely disposes of the accused [in what would be, i'd imagine, a fair trial in someplace like Guinea or Ghana], the Jukebox Lord pushes a button and the next defendant is slapped on the stand. 'Jukebox Jury' is compulsory viewing if you're an archivist at a stock footage company in the meatpacking district of Manhattan trying to cleanse your pallate with a little 16mm sorbet from the industrial footage you've been cataloging since Halloween. All in All, I Liked It!
NINA AND FREDERIK: Songs from 'Verdens rigeste pige' 1958
*Apparently the first editions had a fixed panel including Pete Murray, Alma Cogan and a "teenagers'" view from Susan Stranks who later went on to become the nation's favourite alternative to Blue Peter.
