In January, 1975, the band, which now includes keyboar- dist Christine McVie, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and vocalist Stevie Nicks, released a self-titled album to establish the feeling of a new beginning. From the album emerged Fleetwood Mac’s first two ma- jor U.S. singles, “Over My Head” and “Rhiannon.” A year after its release, the album was the nation’s No. 1 best-seller. The group followed with the album Rumours six months later, and it quickly rose to No. 1 and stayed there for six mon- ths, buoyed by the hit singles “Go Your Own Way,” “Don’t Stop,” ‘““You Make Loving Fun” and “Dreams.” It won the 1978 Grammy Award for “Album of the Year.” With Tusk, the band has sold over 20 million records worldwide (Rumours accoun- ting for 13 million itself).

No, not the Philadelphia Eagles football team. The Eagles, one of the most popular and best selling bands to emerge in this country during the Seventies, are owners of the nation’s No. 1 album, The Long Run. The group also owned the No. 1 single at the same time earlier this month. The Eagles landed in Philadelphia for two shows at the Spectrum November 18 and 19. The two-day party featured the band performing several of its popular hits as well as a few of guitarist Joe Walsh’s own releases. Guitarist and keyboardist Glen Frey and drummer Don Henley formed the original quartet that became known as the Eagles when they were members of Linda Ronstadt’s band. The group’s debut album was released in June, 1972, which, in addition to becoming a million-seller, provided the first in a string of hit singles with the track “Take It Easy.” The Eagles’ next five albums all sold over a million copies, in- cluding Desperado, On The Boarder, One Of These Nights, Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, and Hotel Califor- nia. Their hit singles include grammy Award winner ‘‘Lyin’ Eyes,” Grammy Award nominee ‘‘Best Of My Love,” “Take It To The Limit,” ‘“‘Peaceful Easy Feeling,” “Hotel California’’ and ‘Life In The Fast Lane.” The Long Run and ‘‘Hear- tache Tonight” mark the third time in the band’s career that it has led both the album and singles charts simultaneously (the first time with the One Of These Nights album .and title track in 1975, and with the Hotel California album and title song in 1977). In addition to Frey and Henley, the band currently in- cludes Don Felder (guitar), Joe Walsh (guitar) and Timothy B. Schmit (bass).
