50 Years – Don't Stop
50 Years – Don't Stop is a box set by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 16 November 2018, marking 50 years since the band's formation. Consisting of three CDs, the set spans the history of the band from 1967 to 2013. It was also released as a 5-LP set and a condensed single CD version. Unlike its predecessor, 25 Years – The Chain (1992), this album does not feature any previously unreleased material. It does, however, mark the first time certain tracks have been remastered or released in a physical format, as is the case with "Sad Angel".

Background
50 Years – Don't Stop is Fleetwood Mac's first career-spanning collection. It includes rare photos of numerous members of the band and features liner notes by veteran music writer David Wild.[1] The Belfast Telegraph said of the album, "The 50-track compilation is the sound of a band pulling themselves apart, and putting themselves back together, over the course of half a century."[2]
