However the only little problem I have with the Mac reissues is the fact that they tend to have 4/5/6 outtakes of the same song. Like on Tusk last year, 6 outtakes of I know I'm Not Wrong followed by 5 outtakes of Tusk? Who thought that was a good idea?

I love all 5 versions of Tusk on that disk. I wouldn't have wanted one cut. I'd have paid the same price for just all the versions of tusk and IKINW as I would for the entire Mirage reissue!

Same here. I love all the versions of two of my fav. Buckingham songs from Tusk.

We are the daughters of Rhiannon. Or something like that.

Probably will be more rumours going around for more Rumours album versions in years to come after my life time.

I was listening to a classic Casey Kasem's American Top 40 from this day 39 years ago 1977 on the radio.It was nice to hear Casey mention the top albums of the week as FM Rumours still at number one.

1. The 1977 release (CD and vinyl)
2. The 2004 release with an outtakes CD
3. The 2001 DVD-A
4. The Deluxe Edition (CD, Vinyl, Rosebud film, Live CD, 2 outtake CDs)

My favorite version is the one that
contains Suspicious Minds.

Unfortunately, due to running out of storage space, I made a bad decision to throw out jewel cases and artwork in favor of book holders so in some cases I have no idea which version a disc is because it doesnt say on the label. I have a white album CD that says disc 1 but cant find disc 2. I fear it got tossed with the case. Doesnt help that each title has 8 versions and I cant seem to stop myself, haha! Anywho, carry on! :-)

Actually, the 2004 "White album" remaster did not come with a disc 2. I think a second disc was planned and then canceled, but for some reason the disc was never pressed without disc 1 printed on it. Just trying to save you some trouble in your search.

I remember that one... and making the decision to pass on it for the other version that came out around the same time.

4 - 8 track tapes

2 - LPs
3 - CDs

That's 12 royalty payments for the same album. They could wrap another version in one of Stevie's shawls, and try to sell it... But I'm done.

Haha!! Yes, I'm with you on this. My last Rumours purchase was $89, you know, because I had to have a good copy of Rosebud on DVD. They know which button to push, don't they?

That was my intent too, replace the crappy boots, but my goodness that's a lot of CDs!

Not only is "Silver Springs" in the middle of the album where it belongs and not tacked on at the end, which totally ruins the epic ending of GDW, but the audio quality is spot on. The 2013 remaster used waaaaaaayyyyy too much compression. It's a lot louder, but distorted in a few places.

They messed with the running order too much on the original DVD-A release, which I wasn't happy about.

Also, I think you missed one. There was the boxset version with the records and DVD's as well as the 3 CD remaster from 2013.

The DVD-A was my first alternate version. Brought tears to my eyes listening to it the first time. I think the last one on my list is the box set you are referring to. Don't think I have the 2013 version, don't like those in yer face ones.

Haha! That's a good one. Maybe Ken has some of those outtakes sitting around?

Thank you for this. I sort of thought that was the case, but the Disc 1 subtitle on the CD threw me. Amazon shows a limited track listing for this version too. Mystery solved!

I love the DVD-A version of Never Going Back Again. I wish they had put it on one of the other reissues so it could be more available. The additional guitar part is so gorgeous.
