In August of 1970, Christine McVie joined Fleetwood Mac, and Jeremy Spencer became less and less interested. In February of 1971, they had a gig at The Whiskey a Go Go in Los Angeles, and Jeremy Spencer left the motel room to go to a bookstore and never came back. They had to end up canceling the show, and when they found him, Jeremy had joined a religious group called The Children of God, and said he no longer wanted to be in the band.
Later they hired a new guitarist named Bob Welch, and in the the Summer of 1971, they recorded their next album which was called "Future Games" with the new lineup.
Reprise Records refused to release an album with only seven songs on it, so they quickly recorded an eighth song, an instrumental jam utilizing Christine McVie's brother John on sax.
Their sound was definitely evolving.
