I wondered that, too. It felt like it did.

I still have yet to buy it but plan on it. I'm very interested interested in Mirage. I feel like this is their forgotten album.

Although I prefer Tusk as an album over Mirage, I'm FAR more excited for this release, mainly because there are so many outtakes and rarities from this era that we are unaware of.
That, and I think it was FM's most underrated album, and the last great album from the classic lineup where everyone was contributing proportionately *ahem*

I think it is the last time the Rumours lineup actually sounded like a band playing together on record. While it doesn't serve up as many classics as the previous albums, it does sound less dated than TITN. I love the warm production even if some of the songs themselves are lacking.

Mirage probably isn't the best Mac album, but there absolutely are days when it's my favorite Mac album. I know every song on it, every moment, like I know the back of my own hand. It's just so *pretty* that I don't care a bit that it doesn't rock out. Can't wait.

The outro of Eyes.. and the outro of Wish You Were Here... there are some jams in Book of Love. Straight Back is like a Nicks/McVie co-write... Lots of gems in this album..

It's the album that pulled me into Fleetwood Mac. I was six when Rumours was released and remember my older sisters playing it endlessly on the stereo. I remember the premier of the Tusk video on solid gold. Those were fond memories. But it was Hold Me and Gypsy that pulled me in as a die-hard fan. Once I got the album, I was so intrigued. I knew Mirage wasn't as even or as viscerally thrilling as Rumours, which I listened to alongside it, but what it had to offer made me intrigued. I promptly began collecting all of the group's records and had completed the set long before TITN was released. It's been a long time since I first heard Mirage, but many of the songs still take me back to that place. The kids in my junior high classes mocked me for loving a "soft rock" band like Mac. AC/DC was the rage. Def Leopard was everywhere. Journey was permissible. Mac was considered too subtle, too adult. I didn't care. I openly loved them. It was the first of many stands I took in the name of taste and discernment.

Seriously? Because I had Bella Donna on 8-track, but I don't ever remember Mirage being available. I was thinking that 81-ish was the end of 8-track?
Because Bella Donna was literally the LAST 8-track I ever bought.

I love Tango but I think Mirage is a really nice demonstration (a "last hurrah" if you will) of what the Rumours line up could do together as a cohesive band.

There's one on eBay if you're interested. This one looks like mine. Most of the Columbia House releases had generic sleeves.

I thought she sounded great during the Mirage recording sessions and at the start of the tour. "If You Were My Love" is an example of something that could have been recorded during Tusk. I'm sure cocaine and the touring itself took a toll on her voice.
