Heroes Are Hard to Find is the ninth studio album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 13 September 1974. This is the last album recorded with Bob Welch, who left the band at the end of 1974, and who was replaced by Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. It was the first Fleetwood Mac studio album recorded in the US (in Los Angeles) as well as their first to enter the top 40 of the Billboard 200 album chart. The title track was edited and issued as a single but it failed to chart. Cash Box said of the title song that "tight sweet harmonies back [lead singer Christine McVie] up with some excellent instrumentation."[5]

Without a successful single to support the album, it still managed to peak at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 chart, which at the time was the highest Billboard placing for any Fleetwood Mac album.[6] It also reached No. 5 on the Billboard FM Action chart.[7]

Bob Welch later re-recorded “Angel”, “Bermuda Triangle” and “Silver Heels” for His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond (2003). A re-write of “Silver Heels”, titled “Hustler”, with explicit lyrics appeared on Bob Welch Looks at Bop (1999).[8]
