ps-Can't wait to get the expanded Tusk & Rumours to compare and see what unreleased material has been in circulation with FM collectors.

21 unreleased tracks for Tusk and 18 for Rumours!? Could it be Fleetwood Mac is finally doing this right? If this is accurate, I will gladly spend the money.

I think it is RHINO that is "doing this right"...you don't REALLY believe Mick & Company would have the cajones to follow through on this themselves, do you?

Well, I think I know what I'm going to put down on my "what I want for my birthday" list...who cares if they're scheduled to be released the day after?

[sodascouts]

YES!!!!!! These sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait!

I actually thought this was a joke when I first read it - is it really real?!?! Oh, tell me it's really real! WOW!

ooooh I've got to save some money for this.

Maybe you're right about Mick & company not having the cojones to follow through but don't they (the band) have to give the OK for this reissues to happen?

Yeah, but I meant they wouldn't INITIATE the process. They probably just "signed off" on what Rhino presented them with.

[littlelies7]

Alrighty! I'll get them ,especially Tusk! Now, let's see if Mirage and TITN will follow...

Thanks for posting the news. It looks like we finally have a definite release date for these re-issues. With all of the George Harrison reissues, another Dylan bootleg CD set plus these Fleetwood Mac re-issues & hopefully soon thereafter the White Album & Tusk DVD audios-this is going to get very expensive for me.
