Be kind everyone. But what is a picture disc? You play a CD and photos come up on your screen or computer? I have no idea.

Seriously ......we got the 11th reissue of Rumours more or less and still no full Mirage show on audio or video. God help us.

Second verse!

Rumours received my last dime with the 2003 reissues. Which was like my 12th copy of it. Mick can eat cat food for all I care.

I have only ONE copy of Rumours on CD (in fact, is not mine as my sister bought it but I took it with the rest of the FM collection when I moved to my home). It's more than enough for me. I don't hear it, it only adds to my collection, but nothing else.

Haha and sorry Mick, but I don't have an LP player to buy it and hear this new one! :lol:

Nothing exciting. It’s just a vinyl record with a picture on it rather than being plain black.
a) you need a record player.
b) they don’t generally get played. More of a collectors item than anything else.

But I think you will ride the Planets of the Universe theme roller coaster in Tomorrowland, the Don't Stop theme G-force dark ride in Epcot, and the Silver Springs theme rip-roaring river raft ride at Animal Kingdom. Mick is about to sign the contracts with Disney.

Ha….also featuring the ‘Go Your Own Way’ maze and the psychedelic ‘Dreams’ ride.

I’m never going back again

Never ever tiered of Rumours. I bought all of it! As long as there is something “ new” that I didn’t have…I will buy it. I cherish my Fleetwood Mac (and solos) music collection .

Canned cat food is actually healthier than a lot of the human food out there these days. Mick Fleetwood Signature Canned Meals could be in the development pipeline as we speak.

I'm tired of the album (as is the band and everyone who wasn't born this millennium), but I'll never tire of the songs.

Maybe he can get his own line, and sell autographs with it at Walmart.

I just remembered a new I heard on the radio long ago. It must have been late 70s or early 80s. The DJ was telling that the Rolling Stones had just released an album, vinyl I understand, that when you play it, while the needle touched the spinning record it gave off a smell of weed. I was in my early teen years so I can’t remember if there were more info about it, if it was serious or just a joke. But I’m sure he mentioned the Rolling Stones.

But if it was true, I think about all those reissues, deluxe, expanded, special, new formats, etc etc editions of Rumours, and I wonder if Mick wanted to release something similar.

Well it seems there are always people that can't get enough of Rumours. This post from a fan appears in my Facebook page. And since I didn't know if the source was reliable, I googled and yes, according to the search results, Rumours is within the top list. Cool.

Gosh, ANOTHER reissue?

I will say the Rumours Super Deluxe is worth it for a number of reasons, especially “Planets of the Universe”; the full outtake with vocals of “Keep Me There”; a run-through of “Think About It”; and the early take of “Oh Daddy,” without Stevie’s cool but ungrammatical contribution (“and I can’t walk away from you, baby if I tried”) and instead the original, less-evocative but perfectly grammatical line: “and it’s helping through the night.”

But I won’t spend any more $ on further Rumours reissues.

Completely agree. I still enjoy all those alternative versions, demos, bonus tracks, the included concert. And that's enough from the Rumours universe to me.

It seems this new edition is about the complete history of the band (1967-2025), but I don't know why they include the word "Rumours" in the cover. Plus the 2025 year. There is no Fleetwood Mac anymore. And if some insist that it still exists this year, definitely it's not the Rumours lineup. :shrug:

Because Rumours sells. Attach that word to FM and it piques interest

I feel like Fleetwood Mac is an entity that will exist even after every band member has passed. As long as music is being played, FM will exist. Maybe I’m being mushy.

I partially agree. I mean, Fleetwood Mac will always exist whenever a song is played in any media. Radios, Spotify, YouTube, my iPod Touch, etc. But that means a 1967-2025 history? I'm not sure.

Maybe, if an unreleased song appears today and becomes popular, like Beatles 1995 Free as a Bird or 2023 Now and Then, could it be considered as a new episode of the band? I don't know.

That would also make me wonder, would I like a new official Fleetwood Mac video with the help of AI, like Now and Then? I don't know either. Probably not.

Agreed! But can you elaborate on the ungrammatical quote? I’m not seeing what’s grammatically incorrect about that line. But then, grammar was never my strong suit.

It seems people will never get tired of Rumours. A post appeared in my FB saying that Rumours earned 637 weeks on the chart.

And yes, I just checked and it's #26 in the albums chart, and even climbed 2 positions.

https://www.billboard.com/charts/billboard-200/

The GH is #136, 341 weeks on the chart.

Mismatched tense.

I can't(present tense) walk away from you even if I tried(past tense).

A more grammatically correct option would be "even though I try" (present simple) or "even though I've tried" (present perfect)

But I couldn't say that to Bob Dylan even if I tried.

Not a grammar mistake, but you made me remember this anyway:

So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"

But wine is not a spirit drink, because spirits are alcoholic beverages produced by distillation. And wine is just fermentation. Don commented he was criticized for that mistake, to which he laughed saying something like It's just a song, lyrics are written to rhyme or sound good, nothing more.
