Peter Green and Mike Vernon on "The Supernatural"
• GREEN : "Mike Vernon came up with the idea for 'The Supernatural'. He said he’d seen this guitarist who’d played a high note, sustained it and then let it roll all the way down the neck. But I played it and I decided on the sequence."
• VERNON : "'The Supernatural' was basically made up in the studio. None of it was pre-written or planned. Peter and I talked through the idea of doing an instrumental with an Otis Rush feel to it, in a minor key with some kind of melody. And lo and behold, that’s how it materialised. In a way it set a precedent for what Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac would end up being. It was a striking instrumental that carried a pre-echo of his work with Fleetwood Mac : extended notes, trademark sustain, a rare tone and fluency."
