Music Industry
After moving to London at the age of 17, MacLean began working at various British Record labels before settling at CBS Records in the early 1970s. In 1975, via a recommendation from Jeff Beck, she was put in touch with Peter Grant regarding a position at the newly launched Swan Song Records; a label established to release albums by Led Zeppelin, but also home to other popular UK acts including Bad Company, Dave Edmunds, the Pretty Things, and others.

After the death of friend, and Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham and the eventual dissolution of Swan Song, MacLean moved with her family to the United States.
