Future Games is the fifth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 3 September 1971. It was recorded in the summer of 1971 at Advision Studios in London[3] and was the first album to feature Christine McVie as a full member. This album was also the first of five albums to feature American guitarist Bob Welch. “He was totally different background – R&B, sort of jazzy. He brought his personality,” Mick Fleetwood said of Welch in a 1995 BBC interview. “He was a member of Fleetwood Mac before we’d even played a note.” [4] Welch's primary guitar at the time was a Gibson ES-335, which he played on the record along with a Fender Stratocaster.[5]
Without the 1950s leanings of departed guitarist Jeremy Spencer, the band moved further away from blues and closer to the melodic pop sound that would finally break them into America four years later. After the band completed the album and turned it in, the record label said that it would not release an album with only seven songs, and demanded that they record an eighth. 'What a Shame' was recorded hastily as a jam to fulfill this request.[citation needed]
Track notes[edit]
There is an early version of 'Morning Rain' with the title 'Start Again', as recorded in a BBC session on 5 January 1971.[6]
'What a Shame' featured saxophone from Christine McVie's brother John Perfect whose son Dan later co-produced and featured as guitarist/co-writer on McVie's 2004 album In the Meantime.
The title track, written by then-newcomer Bob Welch,[7] was later re-recorded for his 1979 solo album The Other One and again for His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond in 2003. The original version is featured in the 2000 movie Almost Famous.

A heavily edited version of 'Sands of Time' was an unsuccessful single in the United States and some other territories. However, the album did get airplay on FM radio.[citation needed]
An alternate version of 'Lay It All Down' appeared on the 1992 compilation 25 Years - The Chain.
Artwork[edit]
Early UK releases of this album, and some non-UK issues, have a yellow background to the picture of the two children and cover text. All subsequent releases have a green background. The 2013 vinyl reissue by Warner/Rhino available in the Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972 4-LP box set restores the original yellow background to the album artwork and it would be released as a standalone LP two years later.
