because Peter Green had several different styles and phases. There is no single album that captures them all, even the so-called "Best Hits" type of things. I would say that there are at least 3 different types of things you should try and get. If you're lucky, they'll be on 2 albums.1) Blues -- Peter was the master of English blues. He crushed everyone else of that milieu (Clapton, Beck, Page) for phrasing, tone, dynamics, and passion. Plus he sang great, too. There are some snippets available for listen from Amazon.com (WMP version):
Black Magic Woman -- the original! - here is a live version.

http://www.content.loudeye.com/scripts/hurl.exe?clipid=013831401010006900&cid=6001112) Rock -- Shortly before Peter Green left Fleetwood Mac, they started getting into a rock thing. The classic album is "Then Play On", which includes "Oh, Well".
Oh Well -- live version.
http://www.content.loudeye.com/scripts/hurl.exe?clipid=061950501030006900&cid=6001113) Melodic Instrumentals -- I don't know what else to call this. The classic of this genre is "Albatross". I couldn't find any clips of this tune, but it's not to be missed. If you know "Sleepwalk" by Santo and Johnny, you'll get the idea, but "Alabatross" is even more beautiful and haunting.
Hope this helps,
Charles Hansen
