Vinyl is $175. CDs are $50.

In iTunes the White, Rumours songs are 2004 remasters, Tusk are 2015 remasters, Mirage are 2016 and Tango 2017. Nothing new, except that there are 2 tracks (GYOW and Silver S.) that says "Mono". Does that mean monophonic sound???

Personally, I'm no longer interested in buying more editions of those albums, but I don't think including mono versions will attract any fans, unless it refers to something else.

Now that is new......mono sound? I suppose they have to find something "new" to say it's on the album.
It annoys me because there is such good Tusk goodies of demos and Rumours demos never released. They have fairly completed songs of Sleeping Angel, Beauty and the Beast. How Still My Love and Outside the rain was flirted with during Tusk recordings but the only audio is Stevie on the piano.
However, they dug out stinker demos for Mirage like Ooh My Love. There is still terrific material not being released yet they keep releasing the same stuff over and over. We got 14 versions of I Know I'm Not Wrong but no Tusk demos like Farmers Daughter or anything else? Tusk and Rumours had lots of leftovers that still are not being released. It took 40 years to get a full Mirage show released on CD. Imagine it being released right after the Dance.

Yes to mono.

Me, too. I bought the 69-74 5 disc set a couple years ago, and I'm DONE buying reissues from them.

To get specific unreleased songs is still interesting. I'd buy unknown/unreleased tracks from those years, as I bought just the One More Night (demo) from the Live 2021 release. But buying a whole album is not attractive anymore. It may be for fans that have never bought previous deluxes or expanded releases, but it's enough for me.

That was worth buying considering all the tracks were re-mixed and songs like Purple Dancer and Dragonfly were part of the package. This new reissue is completely worthless and I'm someone who has all the multi-album compilations.

Vinyl is $175. CD's are $50.

€53 in the Netherlands. But this will be a great chance to obtain Rumours for those who haven't got it yet!
No mention of which mix/remaster the discs will be...

So true. Besides the remix we got the 1974 studio concert on CD. That alone was worth the package price.

Are you saying that there's a person alive that doesn't have Rumours? :p

Can you believe I have met people who don't know who the Rolling Stones are? Of course they are very young.

I see the ad in Mick's FB the vinyls are transparent. Looks cool. Not enough reason to buy it (for me), but cool anyway.

About 20 years ago my co-worker and I were in a car with an intern with my agency. We were listening to a classic rock station and me and the co-worker were having fun asking the intern if he knew these songs. He never heard the song Satisfaction and when we asked if he knew the Rolling Stones his response was .."I think I heard of them."
This was 20 years ago!!!! Imagine today?
But on the flip side I do not recognize one person up for a Grammy. I know nothing about new music nor do I want to know about new music. Its horrible. Autotune, programmed bass, ripped off hook and melody, and bad music. No thanks!

When I saw Buckingham McVie at the Hardrock Casino I was waiting in line to get inside. I had multiple people come up to me and ask "who is playing tonight?" When I said "Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie" they said, "Who is that?" And these were not kids. These people were in their late 30s.

Same as me. I know nothing about new music, beyond the headlines I may read about some singer or song. Reggaeton has invaded radios and media; however, though I don't like it all, I always try to avoid complaining about them in my FB, Ins, etc. I always remember dad and grandfather complaining about the music I used to listen. Not everything, but many of them, and I was tired of listening "the good music was that of my time". They also hated their looks and drew unfair conclusions. If Beatles had long hair, God they are homosexuals!!! Kiss are a bunch of idiots! I still laugh when I remember dad's face when he saw me wearing an earring.

So I always try not to sound like a grumpy old man :laugh: But some of my friends already do. :) If youngs like to listen that kind of music, good for them. But I don't like it. Now, if they ask me what do I think about it, I will tell them, with respect but without anesthesia :laugh:, but only if they ask me.

Oh, I believe it. Know how everything is a remake, now? My best friend is 37, and he was listening to...."someone", and I said, "you know that this is an Elton John song, right?" He had no clue. WHERE'S THE ARTISTRY IN COVERING SOMEONE ELSE'S HIT? But that's how dumb our society has become. He's got his PhD, btw.

Well, they have to do something different to the package, or morons wouldn't keep buying it.

Rumours has been released to death, but is there a market for other FM rereleases other than Rumours? Would people on this board support rereleases? I’m talking about Behind the Mask, Time, Say You Will, the EP, and Buck/Vie. Maybe the Dance, as well.

Except for the Dance, the other albums sold just ok, none were multi platinum releases. I’m not even sure SYW Buck/Vie went platinum. I’m just curious if ‘rerelease fatigue’ has affected fans enough that they will no longer buy even a new edition of something besides Rumours.

Except for maybe the Dance, with the unreleased tracks, there's really nothing left I'd want to hear. I seriously doubt anyone would mess with BTM, Time, and even SYW. It's not worth the effort and expense to sell 5K copies of something.

KNOW WHAT I WOULD BUY?
Mirage video with all recorded tracks, and while you're at it, release both shows.
Largo/Landover - "for screening only" concert video.
1980 Live album - with all the unreleased tracks.
2014 tour video - Christine's triumphant return tour.

I can't say they would interest me at all. The only post-'87 stuff that would really grab me would be a live album featuring all the songs played on the 14/15 tour (more as a memento, really, more than anything else) and any unreleased Christine demo that the four others could somehow fashion into one last Mac track. I don't suppose either will happen.

I love to hear early, alternative versions, and songs that didn't make it. I'd buy an expanded/deluxe edition of Behind the Mask and BuckVie if they include those kind of tracks. About Time, I'd be interested just in Christine tracks. Say You Will... I'd think about it. Also unreleased 1980 Live tracks.

But how many ledgies are there? Actually the point is the general market. The record company would release them only if they consider it would be a good business, and I don't think it would be, but who knows.

How much did the expanded/deluxe editions of White, Tusk, Mirage and Tango sell? I have no idea, but White had Expanded and Deluxe, same as Tusk. Tango and Mirage just Deluxe. I don't remember if they had 5.1, Blu-Ray audio, DVD audio, whatever format editions. But Rumours has all the possible formats. They always think it will be a good deal.

A 2014 Live would be interesting, although their voices were no longer the same.

[Mr Scarrott]

It's the fact that their voices were no longer the same that gives that tour a certain sense of the season of life they were in. Lindsey was rougher, Stevie's range was limited, Chris could flub the odd note, but they all had a certan character which I at least, found compelling. It would be great to have a high-quality recording of it, notwithstanding all the boots and youtube videos out there.

Rhino has released a box set titled Fleetwood Mac 1969 - 1974, and NOW Fleetwood Mac 1975 - 1987.

Will there be a third Rhino box set release, Fleetwood Mac 1988 - 2019? featuring the material from Greatest Hits, Behind the Mask, Time, The Dance, and Say You Will?

Why would they? To finance their dental floss costs for the rest of their lives?

A Third Box would have to be 1988 - 2013 because 2013 was the last time there was original music under the FM title.

I'm not sure Mick and John were on Sleeping Around The Corner and Love Is Here To Stay. Of course, the 2018-2019 Tour had no new music.

[BigAl84]

I'm pretty sure they released this box set once before, when they originally did the 69-74 box set. It sold out very quickly and went out of print. That's probably why they can justify a second run.

Yeah it was a limited edition, LP-only release. https://www.discogs.com/release/14505061-Fleetwood-Mac-1975-To-1987

[SteveMacD]

I could see a box with BTM, Time, SYW, LBCM, and a bonus CD of Mac and immediate Mac-adjacent.

Can’t Help Falling In Love
Roll With Me Henry
As Long As You Follow
No Questions Asked
Lizard People
Paper Doll
Love Shines
Heart of Stone
Make Me a Mask
Blow By Blow (‘94 version)
Twisted
Sad Angel
Without You
It Takes Time
Miss Fantasy
Find Your Way Back Home

So...I guess I'm going to die before FM (or Mick Fleetwood with Rhino) release this kind of box set but from 1988 to 2003...Which colour would be a pretty one for that?? :]

Thank god you left Ricky off.

Yet we still don't have an updated version of The Dance that includes Gypsy, Over My Head etc...the most obvious and easiest CD/LP packaging of arguably their most popular release since Rumours. I still cannot believe how Warner fumbled the ball on that one. Although 2027 isn't that far away for a 30th Anniversary release - but I'm sure they'll do a 50th anniversary Rumours release instead LOL.

[Villavic]

All songs not included in The Dance CD, were released as CD singles. When I ripped all those I ordered with The Dance CD songs to emulate the entire show songs and get my own complete digital album. It wasn't perfect, but at least is something.

Blow By Blow (‘94 version)

Both versions blow.

[SteveMacD]

Both versions blow.

:lol:

I don’t disagree, but the 94 version was better.

[HomerMcvie]

I love blow. AND the song. Seriously, Bekka's WAILING vocals at the end MAKE the song work. She's the best vocalist ever to grace FM.
