# This release in based around Christine McVie's lone album for the cult UK label Blue Horizon in 1970 and it's a long-overdue re-issue of a Fleetwood Mac solo rarity. With three BBC session recordings here as well, The Complete Blue Horizon Recordings, although hardly essential, is a very welcome listen. The song underlines the pleasure of her best work languid, expressive, soulful. It is the additional material that highlights her at her best: the demo, Tell Me You Need Me, that was also demoed by Fleetwood Mac is by far and away the best track here. Perfect's piano work here strives to distil the very essence of the blues. Her version of Kirwan's When You Say is a standout, easily giving Fleetwood Mac's Then Play On version a run for its money. To be honest, her tracks sound pretty much like later Fleetwood Mac album material, which given the presence of John McVie on bass and Danny Kirwan on guitar, is fairly understandable. Although certainly not a major work, it is a pretty textbook example of pleasant blues rock as the 60s became the 70s.
McVie herself has frequently played down the record. This CD is her oft-reissued Christine Perfect album, recorded for Mike Vernon's Blue Horizon label in the period between her leaving Chicken Shack and before she joined her husband-to-be John McVie in Fleetwood Mac.
