I forgot to add.If anybody needs a new turntable .The best thing to do is finding a 1950's to 1980's old vintage good working one with a good cartridge and needle .Technics ,Pioneer ,Garrard ,BSR is just a few great name brands. I would not trust any of these cheaply made new ones on good vinyl.

You can find them at Fleamarkets,Tag sales ,Ebay,Craigslist ,Your relatives and friends and neighbors maybe for free.

Sorry.Right back on topic.


We got to remember .We are dealing with the Mac.Like wine when it ages .In time they will shine with a killer album with all 5 on it with great music to enjoy for rest of out lives.

I'm using a cheapy from Best Buy. Sony, but only 99 bucks. I've had it for a few years and it works well, but I'm planning an upgrade in 2016.

The options range from $400 up to $10K, but I can't fathom spending more than a few hundred for a turntable. MusicDirect has one that is THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND dollars!

About a year and a half ago, my friend was moving to a new apartment and was going to get rid of his stereo, and he said I could have it. It's an all-in-one stereo with a turntable, two cassette decks, a radio and a receiver. It must be from the 1980s, since it doesn't have a CD player (but I connected an AUX cable so that I can play digital files or CDs through it if I really want to). Since he gave it to me, I've been listening to records (and cassettes!) a lot, and it really is my favorite way to listen to music. Analog sound is more satisfying to my ears. There are a few used record stores in my area that let me trade in old stuff (CDs, DVDs, etc.) in exchange for store credit, so now I can spend hours browsing at the music store just like I used to do when I was a kid. It's pretty much my main hobby these days! I've been able to get many near-mint condition Mac-related albums and tapes (not to mention lots of other artists) for free or very cheaply, including Tusk (on vinyl and cassette), and Mick Fleetwood's The Visitor album, which I'd never even heard until now.

They can keep the one for $38 thousand dollars unless its gold plated with Stevie's or Mac's name on it and they once owned it.

Some of those all in one compact stereos from the 1970's and 80's work great .I have a 1970's Realistic from Radio shack which sounds great and it has a BSR turntable in it.I rather use one of those then a USB record player.Just hook the line out from the stereo to a RCA to a 1/8 inch stereo plug wire and plug that into you sound line input on your computer or laptop,dont plug it into the computer mike jack or take the audio out of the speaker output.It might burn something out or it will overload and sound distorted.

Easy to adjust sound level using your recording software prog.

I am glad to hear that Stevie is on board for the new album. I wonder if she will write new material or take some songs from the vault. Space Needle would be a good choice.

What I am waiting for now is a public announcement by the band or their management about when the album will be released and what it will be called. That's when I will start to get really excited.

Much to come? We thought this would be a quiet year. I'm excited. What they are planning may never come to pass, but I'd be happy just to hear whispers about what they intend for 2016.

That's great but I hope Mick tweets something a bit more specific!

I still think they might announce some more tour dates for 2016...maybe another leg of US/Canada shows.

If they do tour in 2016 I really hope that it is in support of a new album. Only time will tell.

I'm interested to see what Fleetwood Mac could come up with these days. I just would rather not ever see any of their new songs live. If I pay $400-$500 a ticket for floor seats, I want all 20+ songs on the set list to be songs that I love and can sing along to.

Complete opposite for me. I'd pay good money to see/hear new material. In fact, I'm not sure I'd pay again to go and see them without new songs (at least, not for high price tickets). Sadly they probably won't play more than 5 new songs.

Agreed, I wouldn't go to see them again without N-E-W music, unless it was a last tour...

That's why I didn't see them on their last tour ( No new music) It was the first tour I missed since 1978.

Five new songs? That's way too many. I was thinking if they have to play new songs live, there should be no more than three.
