Good Things (Come To Those Who Wait)

[SteveMacD]

I don't know of any, and I'd probably know. Of course, I didn't know about the FG/BT era shows or the Buckingham Nicks bootlegs, either.

Wow...how observant am I? I've been playing the LP all these years and never noticed "Good Things" was listed but is not on the record.

I actually have one of those early issued Mystery To Me albums. I find it very peculiar that the song has never emerged officially or, more suprising --unofficially. Too bad it didn't make it on The Chain box set. It must be lingering somewhere in the record company vaults. Given that the album was one of their best from that period, I would think that alot of fans, including myself, would be eager to hear it.

I suspect Cliff Adams may have something to do with it. Mystery To Me, which I think was their best selling album prior to 1975, was the last official Fleetwood Mac album from the Warner/Reprise years to be issued on CD. (To put it another way, Roadrunner made it to CD before Hypnotized.)

Does anyone have this song? Thanks!

Probably not. I doubt anybody has heard the song since 1973, and none of them, not even Bob Welch, ever really offered any further information about it. Given the legal status of Fleetwood Mac's pre-"Heroes..." albums the difficulty of getting all of the players involved (Cliff Adams, Mich Reynolds, Wendy Welch, and Mick and the McVies), I doubt we'll ever hear it.

Fortunately this song is now a bonus track on Mystery To Me, from the 1969-1974 box set. The lyrics are on the insert inside the CD sleeve. The print is so tiny, I had to get out my magnifying glass to read them. The music is quite similar to that of "Bad Loser" from Heroes Are Hard To Find. Both great songs, though, and I'm glad to have decent-quality recordings of them.
