Remarks:
While surfing for additional Fleetwood Mac covers (especially some of the more rare), I got curious about Blue Letter. First, it wasn't on site and second, it wasn't written by any of the band members, both of which seemed strange for such a famous band during this era and for an important release. As best I can tell, Mac's was the original release (tho perhaps not the first recording), while the Curtis Brothers released their own version a year later, as indicated above.
This is the sole cover I was able to confirm to my normal submission standards. While I'm on a general hiatus from original/cover submissions, this seemed important enough to merit an exception.
