To my ears, Disc 1 sounds the same as the 2004 reissue (although the CD text says '2017').

None of the tracks on Disc 2 were previously released, apart from 'Jam #2', which surprisingly is five seconds shorter than the 2004 version.

Thanks for the information, guys. Much appreciated!

Christine's organ on Hypnotized is pretty damn good. So much fun to listen to these.

I did see that it's been cheaper through AmazonUK.
But for some reason most of my packages come
damaged from them. Even after contacting them
and asking for special packaging.

I'm keeping my eyes open. Guess I'll play the waiting
game.

Ahh, my apologies as I now recall you've previously mentioning the damaged goods. I'd forgot all about that as we regularly order (non-music) from the UK. Here's hoping mine arrives intact...

She was really burning as a keyboard player then.

By the way, I purchased all the music on iTunes. So I didn't get the box set. are there pictures that are worth seeing? If so, anyone want to post them?

Agreed. And the chords of the keyboards at the end of the "early take" of World Turning remind me a bit of some of the chords she's hitting on the live 1974 version of Loved Another Woman.

I'll have to check that out...

Plus, the vocal on Warm Ways is stunning to my ears.

I was expecting my set to come 2/1 per the Amazon uk tracking. It didn't even say it was shipped and it arrived today. I can't wait to listen to it. The booklet is amazing with a great recap of those early days with a lot of great insight from Christine. These sets are amazing and sure beats just trying to cram all of this in one big box set. I'm sure this will be the treatment that Buckingham/Nicks gets. Worth the wait.

Now there's a great idea!! A B/N deluxe package. If wishing made it so.

I'm sure this is what will happen. The question is WHEN?

You've got a good memory!

Is it a weird coincidence that a few of us are thinking
(hoping, wishing and praying) that a Buckingham Nicks
Deluxe Set comes our way? 45th anniversary no less.

It'd be wonderful if it could be done by Analogue Productions
and pressed at RTI. Or even better by the folks that are doing
the special pressings at MoFi. The Limited Edition UltraDisc One-
Step 45 rpm vinyl 2LP box sets. Very limited sets. Costly too at
$100 a pop.

Only I would notice this, but I wonder why they took Christine's harmony off the end of "Why". It's the same performance as the Midnight Special which have the three part harmony at the end. You can even here Chris's harmony kick back in at the very end.
