Songfacts:
At the time, Fleetwood Mac was a successful Blues band known for their raucous stage shows. Their albums consistently sold about 300,000 copies and they were known as outstanding musicians. When Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band in 1974, they changed their sound and became one of the best-selling bands ever. Until then, this was the only Fleetwood Mac song that charted.
This was one of Peter Green's last contributions to Fleetwood Mac. He left the band a year later after a mental breakdown.
The single was released in 2 parts. Radio stations usually play the A-side, "Oh Well (part 1)." The B-side is "Oh Well (part 2)," an orchestral piece that sounds completely different. Both parts were written by Peter Green and go together on the album.Mick Fleetwood was sure this would go nowhere. He bet Green that it would tank.Christine McVie was still known as Christine Perfect when they recorded this.The stop and start technique inspired Led Zeppelin to do the same thing on "Black Dog."
Widely hailed as one of the best ever blues guitarists from Britain, Peter Green of the original Fleetwood Mac inspired the great B. B. King to say, "He has the sweetest tone I ever heard; he was the only one who gave me the cold sweats."

Oh Well Part 1 Lyrics: 
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Now when I talk to God you know he understands
He said stick by me and I'll be your guidin' hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

All comments are wellcome!
Many thanks for the upload Iron_Horse. A few more factoids:- During the three years that Peter Green led the band, they had 5 hit singles, and 3 hit albums. In this period they outsold the Beatles and Rolling Stones combined in the UK. I imagine the sales figures and charting history above relate solely to the USA.
Classic stuff .. many thanks Iron Horse
an oh whell tribute , many thanks Iron Horse.
