It first appeared as a Fleetwood Mac single in various countries in 1969 and subsequently appeared on US versions of that year's Then Play On album and the band's Greatest Hits album in 1971. The song was later featured on the 1992 boxed set 25 Years – The Chain, on the 2002 compilation album The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, and on the 2018 compilation 50 Years – Don't Stop. "Oh Well" was composed in two parts, with "Part 1" as a fast electric blues song with vocals (lasting 2:19), and "Part 2" as an entirely different instrumental piece with a classical influence (lasting 5:39). The original 1969 single features the first minute of part 2 as a fade-out coda to the A-side and then part 2 begins again on the B-side. Later releases varied in length. During concerts, only the first part was played, and live versions of the song have been released on a handful of Fleetwood Mac live albums throughout their career such as Live and Live at the BBC, as well as the B-sides of singles. After Green's departure from Fleetwood Mac, the song was sung by various other members, including Bob Welch, Dave Walker, Lindsey Buckingham,[2] Billy Burnette, and Mike Campbell.[3] After the single was released, US versions of Then Play On were updated to include the song. The album edit of "Oh Well" simply joined the two sides of the single as one track, entitled "Oh Well" (lasting 8:56), so that the second part's beginning is heard twice. It was repeated on the worldwide original CD release. A 1972 US reissue of the single featured just the electric "Oh Well (Part 1)" without the coda. Other reissues of the song, including on the Greatest Hits album and the 2013 deluxe Then Play On, feature the original single releases of part 1 (with coda) and part 2 as two separate tracks. Chart performance The single's peak position on the UK Charts was No. 2 for two weeks in November 1969, spending a total of 16 weeks on the chart.[11] In the Dutch Top 40, the song peaked at No. 1 and spent a total of 11 weeks in the top 40.[12] It also reached the top 5 in Ireland, Norway, New Zealand, and France, as well as the top 10 in Germany and Switzerland.[13] "Oh Well" was a minor hit in the United States, where it reached No. 55, becoming Fleetwood Mac's first single to reach the Hot 100, as well as their only pre-Buckingham/Nicks song to earn this distinction. It did receive a lot of airplay on some FM album-oriented stations[14] and its reputation has grown in the years since its release.[5] In Canada, the song reached No. 54.[15] It was their second charting single after Albatross in March 1969. The single was also issued in Argentina, Brazil, India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico (as "Ah Bueno"), Portugal and Spain (as "Muy Bien"), and South Africa and Venezuela (as "Oh Bien") on Reprise Records. Other countries included Greece on Warner Bros. Records and Malaysia on Jaguare Records. Legacy "Oh Well (Part 1)" has been viewed by music critics as one of the early crossovers between blues rock and heavy metal, along with songs by bands such as Led Zeppelin.[5] John Paul Jones drew inspiration from "Oh Well (Part 1)" when composing the riff for "Black Dog".[16] Both songs employ "call and response vocals and a syncopated ascending chromatic motif that finishes with a long sustained note."[17] In 1972 Record World said the song "shows group in its finest moment."
