MIRAGE DELUXE Release date 7/29/16 and more...

[iamnotafraid]

Mirage Deluxe release date 7/29/16 SRP $19.99
UPC 603497878949

Mirage (Remastered) release date 7/29/16 SRP $9.99
UPC603497878963

An oddity...
Hold Me (Early Version) release date 5/12/16 SRP $1.29
UPC 603497873289

I suppose Hold Me could be a single released as a teaser
for the remastered Mirage.

I hope there's a deluxe box set as with Tusk and Rumours.
But this is all that I have except for some sell sheets and artist
bio's. And right now all I'm seeing is this.

Maybe Mirage Deluxe is the remastered CD with
alternate takes and the 5.1 disc.

[Dragon]

I am looking forward to Mirage remastered. I guess that leaves Tango in the Night for remastering in the future.

Awesome ! Great news . Thx . Will be checking itunes thursday ..,, that means we will have a tracklist too i guess ;)

[Wdm6789]

July 29? Omg that's so far away.

[jbrownsjr]

They just added a month. Thanks for posting, though.

[~*BellaDonna*~]

July 29? Omg that's so far away.
I don't think its too far away. I know I can wait.

[sorcerer999]

July 29? Omg that's so far away.

No. "Far away" would be the next Fleetwood Mac album! :lol:

July 29th is right around the corner and so very quick after Ken announced the project a month and a half ago! :nod:

Can't wait for this one!

Although I must say, at $19.99, it looks like a "Deluxe" version might only have one more extra disc of outtakes, etc. But I'll take what I can get!

[thepoetinmyhear]

For Tusk, wasn't there a Deluxe but also a Super Deluxe which is what had the live discs and the 5.1. Maybe it's the same thing here and they just haven't solicited the super deluxe yet?

[lennonfan]

this is fine news! I am curious though if they'll do another Tusk like mega box with vinyl, or if the deluxe listed above is cd/dvd.

[Jondalar]

Judging from price. Doubt this will be that extensive. Dont expect the rock versions of smile at you, if you were my love....

[KenshiMaster16]

The price is about what the original 2-disc remasters of Rumours and Tusk were priced at when I worked at F.Y.E. some 10ish years ago so I'm expecting two discs, one with the original album and the second with outtakes, demos and the likes. Looks like, for the time being, no live cuts. I would expect maybe a couple surprises though considering Rumours and Tusk had some.

I think most people want the live versions of Stevie songs.

[aleuzzi]

Great. I will certainly buy it. But I'd prefer a set release date for NEW music.

[mylittledemon]

Although I must say, at $19.99, it looks like a "Deluxe" version might only have one more extra disc of outtakes, etc. But I'll take what I can get!

At a $20 price tag, I would think it'll be 3 discs (like the Tusk remaster (http://www.amazon.com/Tusk-Expanded-3CD-Fleetwood-Mac/dp/B0178JP1EA/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1462734656&sr=1-1&keywords=tusk+3cd)). Remastered album on disc 1, outtakes & demos on disc 2, and disc 3 as the 5.1. Well, hopefully. I'm surprised they aren't doing a vinyl edition with all the discs for $49 or something.

[WatchChain]

I simply LOVE "Mirage". It is, by far, the most underrated, underappreciated Fleetwood Mac album. It is FAR SUPERIOR to "Tango In The Night". Another post once said that it plays like a "music box". I love that description, because it's MY music box. It's light, airy, moody, and sublime. I cannot WAIT for the deluxe remaster of this fine record!

[Wdm6789]

I really want live tracks from the Mirage tour. 1982 live Sara please.

We already know a 5.1 mix is in the set so however many discs there are one of them is a dvd.

[KenshiMaster16]

Might be 3 then, the remastered album, bonus disc and the 5.1 dvd.

I like this!

[sorcerer999]

RIGHT??? Maybe they will but are just waiting a little longer to announce it? Here's hoping! I know I would totally buy it, and I know a lot of "vinyl aficionados" who would also snatch it up!

Where did you find this information? I could not find anything online or at iTunes. Could you send a link?

Sorry, it's private.

[aleuzzi]

Sorry, it's private.

Okay, but then is it reliable? I guess I'm saying without official confirmation from iTunes, amazon.com, or any Mac website, then I wonder if the months of July and August are the window for a release date. If they were, wouldn't there be some acknowledgment of this by the label or places it would sell?

Where did you get your information? Who is "they"? I asked the person who started the thread and was told it's private and now another person chimed in with cutesy stickers. Am I on the wrong end of a stick? Is there a place everyone is seeing this info that I am not seeing?

I could not have said it better myself.
A-men

When I first joined this forum, Mirage was the punching bag of many if not most. I love to finally see the love for Mirage shine.

I hope the DVD is not a rumor or trick. I simply cannot believe we would get a full concert on DVD. I would love it so much.

[iamnotafraid]

:thumbsup: :nod: :thumbsup: :xoxo: :thumbsup: :nod: :thumbsup:

Olive - you behave!

[iamnotafraid]

I hope the DVD is not a rumor or trick. I simply cannot believe we would get a full concert on DVD.

If you're speaking of the 5.1 disc which is probably a DVD
audio disc like the Tusk set has, you're going to be disappointed.

Unless of course they go with a deluxe box set like Rumours.
But as of yet...

[iamnotafraid]

1. Okay, but then is it reliable?

2. I guess I'm saying without official confirmation from iTunes, amazon.com, or any Mac website, then I wonder if the months of July and August are the window for a release date.

1. Things can always change but I haven't been wrong before using this source.

2. Yep.

Everyone should consider what just happened. A very famous
artist just died. And he just happened to be on the same label
as Fleetwood Mac.

With them not being prepared, as in having sufficient stock of
his music. The highest priority has gone to that artist music.
You would be shocked to see what's coming. And not just CD's.
Vinyl - vinyl - vinyl. And even a new cassette release.
Some of this info has been released.

3. Nope.

[Richard B]

Fleetwood Mac was on Warner Bros Records. You can not find Fleetwood Mac listed anywhere on their main website, artist roster or official store. They don't exist. But somehow they managed to release the box sets, go figure. :shrug:

Oh, okay. So you have an inside scoop. Understood. That wasn't clear to me from your initial post on this thread. And then when Olive chimed in with the stickers I thought I was on the wrong side of an inside joke.

The only information I have is from Ken's that said June release. I don't have any other source. Not sure about the inside joke between olive and Imnotafraid. could be nothing.. who knows..

I'm so inclined to agree with you. I love Mirage more than Tango as well...but with a caviat: side 1 of Tango is superb, IMO it's only Christine that saves side 2 which is on the verge of disaster to my ears. Stevie sounds zonked and uninspired and Lindsey sounds like he's in a shopping mall.

Looks like some good stuff. No full concert though. And what are the repeat songs on the dvd, I wonder?

[Macfan4life]

Wow, I LOVE IT.
I just wonder. All the live songs are from the commercial release we have seen/heard a million times. I wonder if the full concert was recorded and that is why HBO, Fleetwood Mac, and now this re-mastered release does not contain any new live songs from that concert. I cant imagine if they had access to those songs they would have included a Don't Stop, Sara, or Hold Me.
If they do have access to those recordings and did not include these hidden gems....that is a shame. I have listened to these exact Mirage songs live from the Forum a million times. I LOVE THEM and will cherish a DVD or CD but really wanted something new. The early versions of the songs really peak my interest.

[jbrownsjr]

I'll take it!

[jessej]

Amazing ! Sooo excited for a proper audio of the Forum show . And cool water and smile at you ;) and my fave Book of love , early version !

[jessej]

Im wondering about tracks 13-20 on the dvd ?

[MikeVielhaber]

I cant The early versions of the songs really peak my interest.

Not to be a douche, because I know people don't like being corrected, but I see this all the time and it bugs me. The correct word here is "pique".

Carry on.

[Macfan4life]

Not to be a douche, because I know people don't like being corrected, but I see this all the time and it bugs me. The correct word here is "pique".

Carry on.
Yes you definitely are.

Let me re-phrase. My interest in the earlier versions of theses songs really peaked.

Peak - to bring to a maximum
Pique - to provoke or arouse

Don't mess with me kid, I have the home court advantage ;)

[Wdm6789]

The only thing it's missing is live Sara. They could have put live Hold Me on there too.

[SisterNightroad]

I'm very disappointed with the Live CD.

[Artemis]

Smile At You AND If You Were My Love?! Foaming at the mouth.

[dawn_amanda]

Smile At You AND If You Were My Love?! Foaming at the mouth.Yay!!! So happy! :]

[MusicInferno]

Great!

Are the recordings from the live cd the same as from the live video we know?
And the Gypsy video version is slightly shorter than the one that was on The Chain boxset, right?

[HomerMcvie]

Yes you definitely are.

Let me re-phrase. My interest in the earlier versions of theses songs really peaked.

Peak - to bring to a maximum
Pique - to provoke or arouse

Don't mess with me kid, I have the home court advantage ;)

I once peeked into a cracked door, to pique my interest, and peak my abilities. Is that correct usage?:D

[mike_nh]

having a remastered mirage is nice but I can't understand why they can release the AUDIO of the forum show but not the video that we all have been wanting since 1982? to me that's the real gem. that sotm performance is what everyone remembers i'm excited to be getting what we are getting but i'm also going to be disappointed. this was the way to release it because no one will ever buy it as a stand alone dvd. #missed opportunity

[Andy Man]

This release does seem like it will be great. A very unexpected release as well.

My only complaint (and, I know, first world problems here...): why not a whole live show? The Mirage setlist was one of the best the band ever put together. I was really hoping that, like with the Tusk redux, that we would get an entire set from the tour. A live version of Brown Eyes would have been fantastic to add to the collection. And, other than the Live in Boston 2003 DVD, we do not have any official live release of Second Hand News...which is just strange, seeing as how it is so popular. I love the Mirage HBO concert but it was very Lindsey heavy. A few more tracks from Christine and Stevie would have been nice to add to the live set with this release.

Having said all that...the remastered album is what I am really looking forward to. Mirage has always been a beautiful album, but the incredibly bad mastering it received with the initial CD transfer really dulled the album's true artistic value. It will be nice to listen to the entire album, remastered, on my sound system.

Your thoughts are mine exactly.
I am a bit disappointed only the Mirage tour songs we have seen and heard live are the ones that are being released. But the sound will be amazing. There were some great songs played during that tour but it seems they are locked away forever never to be heard.

[Wdm6789]

The one thing I was hoping for was a full live set from 1982. I'm excited for the remasters and the long Gypsy and If You Were My Love but I really wanted a full live set. The Mirage set was really good, they played Sara, Hold Me, and You Make Loving Fun all three in a row, those are my three favorite Fleetwood Mac songs.

[pattyfan]

My 2 cents:

First---What is Candle in the Window?

One the plus side, there is a lot of cool stuff (IYWML, SAY) . I love those live songs (Sisters of the Moon, Love in Store, Eyes of the World, Blue Letter, and no Dreams live, thank good ness), so having them on CD will be great. And there is something new that I've never heard of (Put a Candle in the Window...is that a Stevie song? It sounds like one).

It's really too bad that there is no DVD with concert video. But they can release the next deluxe version with that in a few years and we'll all buy it again (See Rumours and Tusk reissues). :)

A lot will depend on how different the alternate and early versions are from the ones that made it to Mirage. If they are only slightly different, then it's not that big a deal. IF they are really different, like the alternate Tusk, then it will something really special. Also, I don't understand what the DVD tracks 13 through 20 are.

There/they're/their is a thorn under my saddle, but LOSE/LOOSE is my own personal Hell. "I'm about to loose my mind", makes me wanna go Postal!!!

I've always thought "Skies The Limit" was biggest Chris faux pas...

Yes but that is what makes Rock N Roll .....rock and roll. There should not be a spell check. Bob Dylan and Stevie Nicks change tense in songs back and forth. Stevie can sing a song in a different tense every night. I think its cool. How boring it would be if every lyric in rock was put through spell check.
What about Prince I WOULD DIE 4 U
Did anyone lecture him that is not proper spelling? It was his trademark.
And sometimes there are honest typos. Typing fast and your head is a ahead of your fingers.

Now, back to the Mac

[nodmod]

The track list looks good, but shame no full audio of the live Forum show or no DVD of the live show, also it seems strange to me that the label or band (or both) consistently ignore their music videos, no Gypsy or Hold Me in HD included as there was no Tusk in HD on the Tusk remaster.

Seems we will never get the live concerts or Tusk doc re-released in HD or a comp of the music videos

[lennonfan]

I'm liking the look of this box very much, seems like the way Tusk was released. I like the songs enough to enjoy alternate versions. I wasn't expecting video so this is fine with me. They could release live tour footage on blu ray down the road and as this is all about the album Mirage like the last box was all about the album Tusk, I'm getting what I want. I find the set up for these boxes lavish and I'm happy to make space in my home for a package of this quality.

In my dream world they are withholding all the live footage for some mega blue-ray set in the future :shrug:

Seriously, this makes absolutely no sense to me. Audio only of an already released video seems to be about the laziest thing they could possibly do.

But if accurate the outtakes CD sounds amazing!

Sadly, there will not ever be a Blu-ray release of the Mirage LA concert. It was filmed on video tape which does not benefit from a mastering of the video in high definition. Almost no visible difference from DVD.

This sort of infuriates me even more though... there should be little to no remastering required for a DVD release of the LA Forum show (low effort). Just release a DVD in 2.0 Stereo and we would all be happy! Sad that they couldn't make that happen. Wonder if it's a licensing issue with HBO and the label?

[Josh2003]

Is it possible HBO owns the video rights to the 1982 concert?

The completist in me wants to buy the whole package.

The realist in me doesn't really see the need for just the audio of yet *another* live concert and a vinyl I have no way of playing.

Is the DVD simply a DVD-A? Why are some tracks on their twice?

I'll wait until we know more, but if there really is an option to just buy the first two discs, I'll take that route.

HBO and Warner Brothers are both divisions of Time Warner so I don's see why if WB wanted the HBO footage they couldn't just contact someone at the parent company and make it happen.

Why is this joy not allowed!

I would love that full concert. It was so electric.

I want this, more than ANYTHING FM related.

Mirage concert. The unreleased songs. BOTH nights that were recorded. Warts and all. All outtakes.

Somebody make this happen.

Take my money.

Name your price.

[fleetwoodguy79]

Seriously - why does this band refuse to release excellent video of their shows during their prime eras? I don't know any other band who is so resistive. Is this the band? Or the label? Combination of both?

We know that film footage (probably the original stock) from the 1979 Checkerdome show exists in the Warner Bros vault. Clearly, excellent multitrack audio masters from that show exist as we've gotten newly released songs from that as part of the recent Tusk reissue. How amazing would it be to release that entire show, remastered in HD (the show appears to have been shot on 35mm film), with 5.1 HD audio on Blu Ray!? It would sell like hotcakes!

This, in combination with a simple DVD release of the Mirage show with all of the songs not on the video release, would HAVE to net serious profit. I'm absolutely perplexed as to why we don't get this.

I have a theory, but I don't even want to talk about it... :distress:

YES YES YES!!!


I think someone might have mentioned your theory-saving for a posthumous release? Seems to me they would want to release as much as they could while they were still touring :shrug:

[BigAl84]

Maybe they are sitting on all video footage for a separate DVD release that contains all music videos and concert footage. Tom Petty did this with the Playback DVD and Led Zeppelin had a similar dvd box set. As Mick would say, this is the most poorly run band in the business, so I'm probably being optimistic. I am pleasantly surprised with these deluxe album sets though.

[Street_Dreamer]

Exciting news, particularly the third disc which (hopefully) has what I consider to be the definitive live versions of The Chain, I'm So Afraid and Sisters Of The Moon.

[Macfan4life]

I asked the question about the Mirage footage to Richard in the ask Richard thread. Hopefully he can shed some light on why half the concert has never been seen or heard and why it was not released in this re-mastered set.
He must know the answer. Wouldn't it be sad if it was all lost somehow and only the HBO or commercial release concert songs remain. A few of these live gems would have made this upcoming release the best invention since the wheel :)

[Wdm6789]

The uncut Mirage video is out there somewhere. So is the US festival video. So are Tusk tour videos. I think I asked this before, are any of you really rich and/or have any connections? I'm convinced that with the proper means someone could acquire those videos.

Lord knows it ain't Mick. That old hooker would've sold them off in 1983!

The Amazon listing only has 19 tracks listed for Disc Two and omits the Vinyl Version of "Straight Back". That sucks! I wonder if that's a typo from Amazon or if the other company who originally listed this had the wrong information? Strange. :shrug:

Simply going by how Richard has answered questions on his Tumblr blog in the past, and his basically non existent relationship with the band or Warner Brothers, I seriously doubt he has any answers on this subject.

Just my opinion. :sorry:

[mike_nh]

maybe a company like shout factory needs to step in and take over the Fleetwood mac vault. they have a very good track record with getting old releases out to the public.

YESSSSS!!!! :thumbsup:

I concur wholeheartedly! I adore "Shout Factory!" Their releases and the special features within have been among the most extensive and detailed, especially among lesser known or forgotten films and television shows. They've done quite a bit of releases from the Warner archives, so I'd love if they got their hands on the Tusk Documentary, Mirage Concert, The White Winged Dove HBO special. Think about it! (no pun intended) There's no telling how much new footage we would be able to see if the Shout Factory research team got their hands in the WB archives. Wishful thinking, though.

Back to reality...:rolleyes:

[BlueLight]

Oh my goodness, "Hold Me (Early Version)" is such a lush, perfect little gem. More Stevie! Truly can't wait for the full album to be released. :]

[jarlic]

Just listened to Hold Me (Early Version). Not sure if this version ever circulated amongst fans, but it was new to me. A lighter version for sure and anytime they let Stevie loose in the background is alright with me!!

[jessej]

Oh i love it !!!!! Extra excited for more !

[BlueLight]

I just noticed that iTunes is listing the runtimes for Gypsy (early version) (5:33) and Oh Diane (early version) (2:54), which would suggest that these also will be released early as singles. :thumbsup:

[jbrownsjr]

Wow, they should have had Stevie and Christine sing together more often.

[jbrownsjr]

I've never heard this version. Bootleg or otherwise. :thumbsup:

[~*BellaDonna*~]

How funny! July 29th is my 39th wedding anniversary. :)

Wow! That demo sounds so lively. I'm so excited!

[Macfan4life]

Is that ever going to actually happen???
No real signs.
I hope so and soon.
Is it possible the band or some producer decided what songs were going to be included on the Mirage tour release and they only recorded those songs? Its unlikely but entirely possible.

[secondhandchain]

Wow! That demo sounds so lively. I'm so excited!

It's not a demo. It's an early version. Consider it a painting that is repainted over or added onto until you are satisfied. Demos are usually very spare and are done before you enter the studio. Kind of a reference guide.

[Fannymac]

Not to change the subject TOO much, but I think this bodes well for TANGO.....!!! (YES!!! "Ricky" on CD.....FINALLY!!!).

While a super deluxe version of "Tango" would be nice, I'm hoping that the next thing they do is go back and do a super deluxe version of the 1975 White Fleetwood Mac album. I'm really surprised this hasn't been done already.

I'd love to hear some of the demos and outtakes from those sessions ("Sorcerer", "Blue Letter", etc) and maybe even a live disc of that tour. It would be nice to hear a crystal clear version of "Why" with that beautiful three part harmony, or "Frozen Love" or some of the other songs that were only performed on this tour.

But I'm also getting off topic as well. :sorry:

Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Mirage’ Is Getting a Deluxe Reissue

Fleetwood Mac‘s last No. 1 studio album, 1982’s Mirage, will be released as a three-disc expanded deluxe edition this summer.

Mirage – which followed 1979’s Tusk, an expensive LP that didn’t reach nearly the same heights as its predecessor, the blockbuster Rumours – included three Top 40 singles: “Hold Me,” which hit No. 4, “Gypsy” and “Love in Store.”
The new reissue, which will be released on July 29, will include a new remaster of the original album; a disc of B-sides, outtakes and sessions; and 13 songs from the 1982 tour in support of the album. You can see the entire track listing below.

Like the recent deluxe reissues of Rumours and Tusk, the beefed-up Mirage will be available in a number of configurations, including the three-disc edition that will also include an LP and DVD, which features a 5.1 surround mix; a two-disc expanded version that omits the live CD; and remastered albums on disc and digital.

The album was recorded as a reaction of sorts to the ambitious Tusk, settling for more stripped-down arrangements. It paid off for the band, staying at No. 1 for five weeks whereas Tusk stalled at No. 4. Among the 19 tracks found on the reissue’s second disc are early versions and alternate takes of songs like “Love in Store,” “Only Over You” and “Oh Diane.” The “Video Version” of “Gypsy,” which runs a minute longer than the album take, is also included.
The live disc, in addition to several Mirage tracks, includes older favorites like “The Chain,” “Rhiannon” and “Go Your Own Way.”

[James89]

The full deluxe edition is already at #43 on Amazon! That's incredible! And it's a whopping $99.98 which certainly isn't cheap. Clearly a lot of people have been waiting a long time for this and it's certainly showing on the charts.

[Wdm6789]

Hopefully we'll see a reemergence of Hold Me and it can get the attention it deserves.

I am really bummed they didn't include the full live set. That is what I was really looking forward to.

[jbrownsjr]

I think it'd be nice to get a "Super Deluxe" release of Mystery To Me. Its a sorely under valued album.

wow!! yes!!

[Macfan4life]

I just had the best idea ever.
To promote the upcoming Mirage release, the Mac should re-live the Mirage era and announce an 18 date USA mini tour. Their setlist should included only those songs played during the Mirage tour.

Dream on silly dreamer :eek;

[~*BellaDonna*~]

wow!! yes!!
I think it is unfortunate that the Mac's early catalogue, which includes some brillant material from Christine, is mostly forgotten and overshadowed by Rumours, Tusk, and Mirage.

[Murrow]

The track I'm curious about is Put a Candle in the Window - judging by the title and the future echo of Illume, I imagine it's a Stevie track.

Nice to know Goodbye Angel and Teen Beat will be freed from the clutches of the box set but the (original outtake) bit makes me wonder if it'll be a different version.

Yes, I love the whole of FMac... love the individual members, too. But, not as much as the band as a whole. The only solo album I crave is one from Christine.. only because it's been 12 years. But, from Peter Green to Stevie Nicks.. This band is magic..

The band is magical and I think Stevie may have sprinkled some of her fairy dust in there, too.

She crfats her songs perfectly and the results are always breathtaking.

I am absolutely THRILLED that this is being released, especially because of the live tracks. This is the best live version of SotM ever.

OMG can you imagine. Pre B/N stuff!! I'd have a heart attack.

[Macfan4life]

I am planning on getting an updated CD player with new speakers to enjoy this sound. I know every beat, chord, song, and sound from the Mirage concert. In February 1983, I woke up at 2 am to record the HBO concert on a tape recorder from the TV. I went to school the same morning and would listen to my cassette tape concert for years LMAO.

I am looking forward to the perfect sounds coming from the live CD. I am disappointed no new songs but this is still amazing.

Best version of Gypsy ever - so acoustic and almost country sounding. Stevie's voice and passion is amazing

Love in Store - what a gem live. To hear Stevie back up Chris is an angelic orchestra

Best version of Sisters of the Moon - the speaking in tongues - a true classic

Not that funny - to listen to a real piano at a real concert - too much for words

Go your own way - just one of the best live versions ever

The Chain - look out! Christine is on fire with singing back up. She is practically yelling.

Songbird - just so beautiful and the best - Thank you Los Angeles

Eyes of the World - Stevie's goat singing is actually such a plus on this song. Plus the rarity of Christine on tambourine - hey I got this too.

You Make Loving Fun - just one of the best versions ever. Stevie's little dance is so cute.

Blue Letter - such a classic live and some great harmonies that almost sound like they are struggling but it adds to the song.

[jbrownsjr]

^^^^ yes to all of it!!

[olive]

These deluxe sets have been worth the wait . I'm sure Tango is next and maybe after that we will get the Pre Rumours line up in the same treatment.

I wouldn't imagine there's a lot it was expensive vo use tape, most bands back then went in cut an album toured 6 months later back in cut another album and toured ,but I like to think they had a few that was never used

True......but I think about all these gems we got from the Rumours and Tusk and now the Mirage deluxe releases that we never heard (even us boot collectors) Who knows what's in the "vault".

[iamnotafraid]

I am planning on getting an updated CD player with new speakers to enjoy this sound.

May I suggest ELAC Speakers engineered by Andrew Jones.
There's a couple of different models so check them out.
Great sound at a very affordable price.

If they are out of range ($), he also designed speakers for
Pioneer. They're the best cheap speakers I've ever heard.

If you can't find the model numbers let me know. The key
being the one's Andrew Jones designed.

[iamnotafraid]

Just going over the Deluxe Box Set.

The tinting on the outer box looks like
they're suffering from jaundice. While
the vinyl album cover's color seems rich.

I didn't notice the old hag on the cover as
much as I used to. Maybe it had to do with
the clarity of the album art this time.

Anyway the set looks nice.

[tango87]

This is going to be great - worth wait, and hopefully the herald of a similar reissue for Tango on its 30th anniversary next year.

But I too am bamboozled by the lack of DVD stuff. It's so odd that a band whose live shows are so electric, and whose visual appeal is so strong seem not to realise it, or value it. I mean, when it comes to 70s bands, who would you rather look at, The Eagles or Fleetwood Mac?

I can only assume that the rights are an issue, as other have mentioned, but at leats they could have given us the promo videos for Gypsy and Hold Me - and that very eccentric and entertaining mimeathon for Oh Diane... Ah well, maybe next time...

[James89]

What about in the US?

The highest I saw it at was #43 which is still amazing considering the price. It's currently at #85.

I am surprised at how little I seem to care about this release. I have Mirage on CD and in e form. I am unable to work up a desire to buy this version regardless of how great it may seem to have the added content.

Fleetwood Mac Mirage box: almost brilliant

Having failed to include the already available 5.1 mix of Fleetwood Mac‘s Rumours in their 2013 super deluxe edition Warners haven’t made the same mistake with last year’s Tusk box or the forthcoming Mirage set which was announced this week…

The Mirage box looks like a satisfying package although SDE readers have already identified a few niggles..

• Despite all the content (outtakes, live, etc.) the Mirage box fails to include the seven-inch of Gypsy, described by one reader as an “inexcusable omission”.

• The DVD looks to be an audio-only affair. Why not include the videos to Hold Me and Gypsy? It’s perfectly feasible to mix a 5.1 mix with video content.

• And why is it a DVD and not a blu-ray audio? Warners have used the format for Van Morrison and Crosby Stills Nash & Young so why not Fleetwood Mac? Presumably, the label would argue that the widespread appeal of the band isn’t aligned with blu-ray audio which might be considered ‘niche’ and of interest largely to super-fans and audiophiles. Maybe, but having gone to the effort of creating a 5.1 mix, why wouldn’t you want to show it off at it’s best, with lossless surround sound? Music is the product being sold, is it not? They could have thrown a blu-ray in the package too and charged an extra fiver – everyone would have been happy.

• The biggest sin is to continue to bundle vinyl into the super deluxe box. Vinyl, like blu-ray audio is niche, but that hasn’t stopped it being included. For many people the vinyl will be superfluous.



So it’s certainly not perfect, but few box sets are, I suppose (although I’d argue a case for Tears For Fears’ Songs From The Big Chair coming close).

The positives with the Mirage box is that the second disc of bonus outtakes and alternates looks amazing, as does the live disc and at least we’re getting a 5.1 mix, even if it’s not lossless. Best of all, the box is great value, especially at this moment in time in the UK where you can pick it up for £42. For SDE friends in America, once you deduct VAT that gives you a price of $50 + shipping, HALF the price US Amazon is charging.

[lennonfan]

that's a great point about the Amazon uk offer, it's half the US price! So...I ordered:)
For the amount you get, the price is very fair IMO.

If you or Michele pm me I'll see

[UndoingTheLaces]

I'm so excited that the video mix of Gypsy is finally getting an official release. As much as I love the extended mix from the Chain box set it's always irked me that it's missing some of Stevie's vocals. I actually listen to a youtube rip of the video version more often than any, so I'm so excited for it to be on this release. I notice that it's listed on the 5.1 DVD twice. I'm wondering if it will contain the original version and the video or extended mixes.

I saw one review where someone was upset over them not including the Gypsy 45 mix. It's really just the video mix edited. If you like the single then you would probably like the video mix just as much, unless the song was too long for you to begin with, i suppose.

[olive]

i ordered the 18 dollar digital download it is the remastered ,the outtakes and the live cd's , i don't need or want the vinyl and the dvd of just music

I used to have the 45 and listened to it more than the album version. That really used to tick me off.

Tango was certified triple platinum many years ago.My feeling is that Mirage's numbers have not been updated..Wasn't there a long delay in certifying Rumours for 20 million?

Because I was a fan and around in real time. Mirage was certified 2xPlatinum by the end of 1982 .I agree about Tusk ..it's relevance today is leagues ahead of Mirage's so I'm sure it has sold more since then.

[BombaySapphire3]

Isn't there a website that has all these certifications listed?

The RIAA..but I think it may be up to the artists or their management to push for certifications sometimes .Rumours sat at 19 million for years before it got the 20 million certification and it is one of the best selling of all catalog albums.

It's really odd that it's so much cheaper there. Thanks for the help, and thanks to everyone for the heads up. I don't think I would have thought to check that.

No, it's £38 British pounds. So after the conversion and shipping, it will be about $55 US dollars. That is of course if your bankcard does not charge for the exchange in addition.

[iamnotafraid]

A word of caution to those in the U.S. ordering from Amazon U.K.

I've had more than my share of trouble with my orders from them.
Take this quite literally, my last package arrived wet! As in soaking

I think my vinyl went on a detour or perhaps
vacation around Europe.

To be serious, if I remember correctly the item
was in stock at Amazon U.K. and was sold by
them (not a third party). The record label was
Invada which is based in Bristol U.K. If all their
pressing plants are in the U.K. is another matter.

I remember tracking this shipment. Seems like
it made it's way from or through Germany. That
took a long time. And if geography tells me any-
thing it was headed the wrong way.

I was picturing it traveling on the back on an open
bed pickup truck. Picking up locals and hitchhikers
on it's way. And unfortunately run into some inclement
weather.

You know it's bad when the U.S. Postal Service wraps
your cardboard package in what is basically a clear trash
bag. With the accompanying white label recieved damaged.

Because of the delay I assumed the incident happened
before it reached the good ole USA. The cardboard box
was so wet I literally could have wrung it out and used it
to make a cup of coffee.

A very long story short, I buy a lot of music. And I would
safely say that more than half of my orders from Amazon
U.K. have been received damaged. Though not usually by
water. Amazon will make it right in the end, but they should
do it right the first time.

It's that bad.

(wow, what a long winded answer)

I've been listening to the early version of "Hold Me." It's interesting to hear how different it was in the beginning. It makes me wonder if it still would have been a hit single had they left it in this more organic state. And maybe Lindsey's wasn't feeling the "hold me like a good man should" line.

Agreed. Christine and Lindsey left to their own devices sometimes is so cheesy when it comes to lyrics.

I feel he really cleaned up the chorus and the vocal he does with Christine is absolute excellence.

Agree 100 percent. It's by far the part of this set that has me most excited. To have that specific mirage show on a clear perfect sounding CD has me way more excited then if they had did like the tusk set and selected a lot of new performances. That's the exact opposite of how I feel about the tusk and rumours tours, so they got it right with me for a change!


And I'm only very mildly upset that it's not the whole show. The band or whoever slelected the tracklist of the original HBO special did a great job picking the right songs. So we don't get Dreams, Landslide and Second Hand News. Who cares! I'm sort of glad all the songs I want to hear from that show will fit on one CD. Won't have to change discs mid run or car ride or whatever the case may be.

Sisters and The chain simply don't have better versions out there, although the latest live chain from the tusk tour is close.

[stevierocks87]

Guess you got your answer for the CD's.

If the DVD's have video (which I understand
Mirage doesn't) it can be a guessing game. I've
learned you can't trust the descriptions from online
retailers. Some of the DVD's do have region codes
that in the description say they don't. There are
workarounds.

Let us know how your Mirage set arrives.

[Andrew Smith]

Why do we have to buy the vinyl box set just to get the live CD? I don't have a turntable. Most people are either a CD or a vinyl person. This seems like a bit of a con. What am I going to do with the vinyl? It will just take up unnecessary storage space. They did exactly the same with the recent Tusk Deluxe Edition.

Not only that, but the vinyl contains the main album only and none of the bonus material. We should have a choice on what format to choose from. There should be a vinyl edition and a CD edition, and both should contain all the bonus material.

What am I going to do with the vinyl? It will just take up unnecessary storage space. They did exactly the same with the recent Tusk Deluxe Edition.

Not only that, but the vinyl contains the main album only and none of the bonus material. We should have a choice on what format to choose from. There should be a vinyl edition and a CD edition, and both should contain all the bonus material.
While it's not a perfect solution, you can buy digital downloads of the live album and burn it to a disc.

I know, but I like the idea of having the booklet. I'll probably scan the booklet so I can view it on my iPad, copy the CDs to my hard drive and then sell the box set. :mad:

Decent price. I only have Mirage on vinyl. This is one I'm going to get.

[The Highwayman]

YES! YES!! YEESSSSS!!!! :blob1: :thumbsup: :]

I'm so happy, so frickin' excited! Mirage is a huge favorite of mine, the home to 2 of my 3 favorite Christine songs ('Hold Me' and 'Love in Store') and my #1 favorite Stevie FM song, 'Gypsy'. I've been waiting for this album to be remastered for a long ass time. Finally!

Speaking of 'Gypsy', my favorite version of my favorite FM song has always been the 5 and a half minute version on the Chain box set. It looks as though there will be a longer version ("video version") of it on there. The music video version of 'Gypsy' is slightly different than the Chain version. Hmm, well, either way I'll be happy.

Now if only we can get Atlantic to give Stevie's 1980s albums this treatment. I've been dreaming of the cool outtakes that a deluxe remaster of Bella Donna, my favorite FM-related album, would have.

[pwyll]

so nice to actually hear Stevie vocal on the original "Hold Me"

IF IF IF they'd included the FULL Mirage concert DVD, I'd have paid $100. Without that, I'll give em $10 for the CD, remastered.

Greedy sh*ts!

[David]

I'm very disappointed with the Live CD.Yeah, me too. But I'm still riding high on the two live albums on the Tusk thing (and, for that matter, the live album on the Rumours thing before that).

Somebody ought to talk to Fleetwood Mac and Don Henley to get their OK to release the City of Hope show on CD. It would be a great tribute to the late Glenn Frey, who played first.

[David]

I am surprised at how little I seem to care about this release. I have Mirage on CD and in e form. I am unable to work up a desire to buy this version regardless of how great it may seem to have the added content. My assumption about the Mirage set is that I've heard all that extra stuff already. Don't we have dozens of versions of Hold Me and Book of Love and Gypsy? I think if I looked through my CDs of Mirage from the "vault," I'd probably find everything that's now being released officially. Is that true? I can't get excited about that, and I can't get excited about those live cuts, stripped right from the old laser disc probably. We have that too. I guess I can get excited about the photographs and the art, but even that's not going to have the impact on me that the Tusk Deluxe art did because the Tusk art (including all those photos they released on 45s and sheet music) meant so much more to me.

What did you think of the Tusk Deluxe? I thought it was magnificent. I experienced thoughts and sensations I hadn't experienced since the first few days I heard Tusk. The care that went into the whole set was mind-blowing, and it paid off artistically. It had the impact of a great release, like the original Tusk.

P.S. I'm posting first and then reading the thread. Thanks to everyone who already has the set and is sharing info about it.

[David]

In my dream world they are withholding all the live footage for some mega blue-ray set in the future :shrug:

Seriously, this makes absolutely no sense to me. Audio only of an already released video seems to be about the laziest thing they could possibly do.I think that's why it was done this way: it's the easiest thing to do.

But with the Tusk Deluxe earlier this year, somebody did some inspired hard work digging out the live tracks from Wembley, Tucson, Omaha, and St. Louis. You guys should pore over the credits list from that set, track down the person (or persons) responsible, and fill his inbox with email for more. If he walks in to his office one morning and his email has 500 requests for more Fleetwood, he might just do something about it.

If he found (and cleaned) Wembley and Omaha, he can find the missing Forum cuts. (By the way, both concerts were filmed in their entirety. Cameras were pacing continuously from start to finish each night. Cameras aren't shut off for some songs; that would be dumb. The cameramen don't know 5 seconds in advance when a song is going to end or start in a live set.)

I'm still all over it for months. It is a magnificent set. The vinyl sounds nothing less than spectacular, all the extra's are showing sketches of songs and pretty good alternative versions, sometimes spectacular too. The remaster sounds crisp and deep and the rawness of the liveset is mindblowing. There's so much more to hear. Also on the stamping Lindsey songs: what I thought were two layers of guitars are actually sometimes 5 or six different sounds or fragments of different riffs or pickinglines, or flourishes. Beautiful. Same with the backingvocals.

I had a misprinted vinyl. Side three was't there. After sending three copies back I finally found a correct one. So last week I could listen to the original, but now on remastered vinyl, I Know I'm Not Wrong. It was worth all the effort.

The best album ever recorded is now also the best boxed set I know.

[Nick]

I love that they all updated their FB pages today to mention the "Mirage" reissue on 7/29. Stevie, Lindsey, Christine and Mick all shared Fleetwood Mac's status update (John does not have his own FB page).

Hmm, well, either way I'll be happy.


The video version is shorter than the one that was put on the box set, but I like the video version much more. The differences are subtle but noticeable. The most important one, I feel, is Stevie's vocals during Lindsey's guitar solo at the end. A few moments after the solo starts you can hear Stevie sing "oooh, see your bright eyes" and it's really pretty.

I prefer the video version, for the same reason, actually --- the ending. It is truly beautiful. I think Gypsy is one her absolute best Fleetwood Mac contributions, both lyrically and vocally, EVER. Heck, I think it knocks Rhiannon and Landside right out of the water. But don't get me wrong, though, I love those songs. I just think that Gypsy has a little more maturity and depth.

Well go tell Rusty to post a review! :D

[DauphineMarie]

Based on the fact that these people have been working on material for ages, of course it's already out there in their circles of executives, friends, and countrymen. ;)

But seriously, in that industry it's not hard AT ALL to obtain information and things of the like because everything is so heavily coordinated. "They" are banking on this new album to be a hit.. Planning for an 40th/30th/20th anniversary release, subsequent tour, maybe a book or something (not from Mick), or other grande surprises to follow will ensure that this goes over extremely well. So of course there will be people with insider information that may/may not be ready to share.

One last tip for buying from Amazon.
I'd purchase more than one album at
a time. That way you're more likely to
receive each album in an LP box, then
also in an outer box. Less chance of
damage.

Also there's Music Direct. But use a
discount code.

I really hope the If You Were My Love on here isn't the same one that is on YouTube. If You Were My Love could have been such an amazing song if they continued to work on it and clean it up. I hope the version on the deluxe Mirage is more polished and final sounding than the one that's on YouTube.

Me too. It's there in the new demo version they just released. That really thrills me.

Once this is out I'm wondering if I can edit the video version and the Chain version to make one perfect extended mix.

I am so glad they are re-releasing Mirage in the three formats. I am a die-hard fan of the band but I hated paying the exorbitant price for the 5 cds and the vinyls that came with the Tusk re-release. If they had included the entire Mirage tour dvd and not just the previously released version, I would have been tempted to buy it, or even the audio CD. I don't want the vinyl, it just takes up room and I don't have a record player anyway.

I'm assuming Tango in the Night will be re-released, along with the concert video from the subsequent tour with Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. Surely there is more footage from that concert that could easily be reinserted back into the dvd, probably without the close ups of Stevie. Does anyone know if there's any chance the DVD could be re-released with more footage?

No way. They will pretend that band incarnation never existed since LB is back in the band now. I'd like the TITN boxset to just focus on the album and demos during that period, plus the b-sides and of course all the 12" remix tracks released back then.

I was thinking about this as well.

They might stick a couple of live tracks on, perhaps. Little Lies, Everywhere, Seven Wonders? ie none that feature prominent former LB vocals.

Price Update...

Today Popmarket.com has the Mirage set for $79.99.
With free shipping for U.S. customers.

With the British Pound being down it might be
time for those who are interested in purchasing
from Amazon UK to do so.

I think the exchange rate as of right now is
1.00 (US) to 1.37 (UK).
