Tango reissue liner notes?

David Wild just finished new liner notes for Fleetwood Mac

Interesting tweet from David Wild. David has written many if not all the liner notes on Fleetwood Mac's recent reissues.... Could this be Tango?

Or possibly the Fleetwood Mac "White Album." In either case, good news.

I would be particularly happy about it being the White Album, it never got a decent reissue supposedly due to the lack of extra material and it's my second favourite FM album.

Tango reissue would be really cool, but I would love to have a live Why on my iTunes. The one on YouTube from Midnight Special is so good. Can we get a super deluxe Mirage with a full live set though?

Would welcome either but it must surely be TITN. Too much of a cooincidental tie in with the 30 year anniversary and the seeming chronology of Tusk, Mirage... TITN.
Something to look forward to in the new year.

when i saw this on FMN&R site, my first thought was that it's for the new album.

but the pic is of 5 and not 4, so that throws a wrench in it. i asked David Wild (he follows me on twitter), but don't expect i'll hear anything back.

Yay! I hope it's for Tango! There was already a rerelease for the white album so I say rerelease Deluxe Tango and then rerelease another Deluxe white album after that.

I think it's tango too, but I have to say that the white album is the one that received the least deluxe treatment. If really there wasn't anything among the demos and the outtakes I would have settled for an audio bootleg or a DVD of one of their pro-shot performances. Someone should fix this.

Tango recording sessions lasted 18 months. But.. in 1987, according to Mick, "Lindsey Buckingham alone was fairly reticent about Fleetwood Mac". Did they just recorded enough to build an álbum? Or is there lot of undiscovered songs, or alternative versions of the singles? I hope so. Anyway I do think it may be Tango.

I really hope it isn't Tango. And Elle, I think it could possibly still mean he is working on something with the 4 person band even though it's a picture of the 5.

Middle School is the clue.

Born in 1961 would put him in middle school
in 1975. Hmm...

Forgot to add that I think we will get
them both. So either way its a WIN!

I wouldn't mind another rerelease of the white album, I'd just rather have a Deluxe Tango released first.

Music journalists don't typically write liner notes for new albums. This is likely a retrospective, so my money is on a Tango reissue.

didn't Wild write them for IYD?

i might be miss-remembering. but sure, go squash my hopes! ;)

Regarding the photo David Wild posted. Are Christine and Stevie wearing hair extensions? The parts in both heads of hair seems to go agains the growth patten in the bangs area. Not terribly important, mind you. Just curious.

Yes. David Wild is actually known for being one of the top hair designers in the music industry. He is talked about in Micks book and is given credit for Stevie and Christine's hair styles over the years.

If this is the Tango reissue as we think, what would you want to find?
I want takes of Juliet, Joan of Arc and Tango In the Night.

All the Little Lies demos! I know it's weird but I love them.

All the B-sides plus Stevie's unused songs and any released remixes.

Also, as strange as it may sound... Make Me a Mask.

I know it came five years later but really this is the only studio album it could feature as a bonus track on as Lindsey did not feature as a member on BTM.

I was just listening to Book of Miracles and thinking how good a "Juliet" it could have been with strong, clear vocals from Stevie a-la Seven Wonders.

No, it's not weird, I used to have all the demos and outtakes of Bella Donna.

Yes, the two demos we already have for Tango are nice but I need something more polished.

I'll post here too for good measure:

A preview of Rhino Records’ latest reissue project, Fleetwood Mac’s glossy 1987 album Tango in the Night

Later this year, Rhino Records will be reissuing Fleetwood Mac’s 14th studio album Tango in the Night, the latest release in a series of deluxe packages focused on the band’s back catalog (Rumours, Tusk, Mirage). Although details of the reissue are still forthcoming, it is expected to contain the remastered original album; bonus discs of session material and outtakes; new liner notes; and rare period photographs.

On December 8, 2016, Rolling Stone contributing writer David Wild confirmed in a Twitter post that he had written the new liner notes for the reissue project. It remains to be seen which route Wild took in reflecting on the tumultuous Tango in the Night sessions, which were first laid bare in drummer Mick Fleetwood’s revealing 1990 autobiography Fleetwood: My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac. Those circumstances ultimately led to the departure of key member Lindsey Buckingham and the addition of his replacements, guitarists Billy Burnette and Rick Vito, to support the album’s ensuing world tour. As a band practically defined by its personal dramas, it would almost seem careless to omit or downplay such a critical juncture in the band’s history.

Packed with the radio-friendly singles “Big Love,” “Seven Wonders, “Little Lies,” and “Everywhere,” Tango in the Night attracted a whole new generation of fans and contributed to the Fleetwood Mac’s legacy as one of the most enduring and resilient recording acts in rock history. At the time, MTV networks saturated music-video play with the album’s singles (a grand total of six was released!), which propelled the album to become an international smash. To date, the album has sold more than five million copies in North America and two million overseas.

In 2014, Mike Duquette, founder of the catalog music blog The Second Disc, featured Tango in the Night as a proposed reissue in his column Reissue Theory. In anticipation of the Tango in the Night reissue, we look back on his thoughtful post (including a hypothetical track list) and celebrate the album that marked the return of Fleetwood Mac to the forefront of the vibrant 1987 pop music scene:

Quote:

Reissue Theory: Fleetwood Mac, "Tango in the Night"

Welcome to another installment of Reissue Theory, where we focus on great albums and the reissues they could someday see. As we welcome one of our favorite ladies in rock back to her famous band, we remember their last album altogether and the pop success it enjoyed.

One of the best pieces of classic rock news to come out of this nascent year is easily the announcement of singer/keyboardist Christine McVie returning to Fleetwood Mac. McVie retired from the band (and touring in general) after the band's incredibly successful The Dance tour in the late 1990s, leaving singer Stevie Nicks, singer/guitarist Lindsay Buckingham, bassist (and ex-husband) John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood to continue as a quartet, but made two surprise appearances with the band in England last year, later expressing her desire to rejoin the band.

While no official plans have been firmed up (beyond the possibility of a full tour), it certainly provokes one to think of the phenomenal albums the quintet have created - in particular, their final set as a quintet, 1987's Tango in the Night. One of the band's most modern (for its time, anyway) productions was also one of its most rapturously received, going triple platinum in the U.S. (and eight times platinum in the U.K., where it was the first Mac album since the Peter Green era to chart higher in England than the States) and spinning off four Top 40 hits. For all its success, though, it's one of two by this lineup of the band (the other being its predecessor, 1982's Mirage) that have not been remastered or expanded by Warner Bros./Rhino.

I think you know where this is leading, of course: after the jump, we'll be looking out for love for Tango in the Night, and imagine what an expanded reissue might look like!

The general history of Fleetwood Mac alone is one for the books. After gradually moving away from blues rock (with guitarists like Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and Bob Welch at the helm), the addition of power couple Buckingham and Nicks (whose eponymous 1973 album is one of the greatest high-profile LPs unreleased to CD) gave the band a chart-topping album with their 1975 self-titled LP, which had hits in "Rhiannon" and "Say You Love Me." Against all odds, the band survived sex, drugs and three relationships gone awry (Buckingham and Nicks, the McVies and Fleetwood and his wife) to create Rumours in 1977, a pop masterpiece that yielded four Top 10 hits and went 19 times platinum in the United States.

Follow-up albums Tusk (an ambitious 1979 double LP) and Mirage (1982) were commercially successful though not as rapturously received as Rumours, and the band largely went their separate ways through the decade. All but John McVie took stabs at a solo career, with Nicks having the most chart success with singles like "Edge of Seventeen," "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Tom Petty and "Stand Back." (Buckingham had more modest successes with "Trouble," "Go Insane" and the maniacally catchy "Holiday Road" from National Lampoon's Vacation.)

But the past was starting to catch up with the band: Fleetwood went bankrupt while Nicks and John McVie suffered drug-related issues, with Nicks checking into the Betty Ford Clinic. Would Mirage (decidedly not a favorite of Buckingham's) be their last effort? Fortunately, Buckingham gradually invited his old bandmates to participate in what was conceived as another solo album with producer Richard Dashut, and another Fleetwood Mac LP began to form.

Tango in the Night bears heavy elements of Buckingham's solo work - propulsive and jittery, with occasional flashes of out-there trickery (the echoing repetition of "Caroline," the off-kilter choruses of singles "Big Love" and "Family Man"). But there are some shining moments for the band's leading ladies. Nicks wrote or co-wrote "Seven Wonders," "Welcome to the Room...Sara" and "When I See You Again" and, by most accounts, committed them to tape pretty quickly (she only spent about two weeks recording with the band, otherwise busy with promoting her 1985 solo album Rock a Little and battling addiction). But it's McVie that really gets to shine on Tango: the singer who gave us "You Make Loving Fun," "Say You Love Me" and the beautiful Rumours deep cut "Songbird" is in rare form, writing or co-writing nearly half the record, including major singles "Everywhere" and "Little Lies," plus forgotten single "Isn't It Midnight" and album side "Mystified."

Shortly after the release of the album, Buckingham succumbed to the pressure of what he felt was having to steer the band, and departed. The band continued as a sextet, adding singer/songwriter/guitarists Rick Vito and Billy Burnette and chasing a more adult contemporary sound on Behind the Mask (1990) and Time (1995), the latter of which saw Nicks and Vito depart, replaced by Bekka Bramlett (daughter of Bonnie) and Dave Mason of Traffic. (The classic lineup, sans Christine McVie, have recorded one album, Say You Will (2003) and a 2013 EP.)

While reissues of Fleetwood Mac, Rumours and Tusk were heavy on outtake material, a healthy deluxe version of Tango in the Night could be assembled from released material. Four non-LP B-sides turned up during the singles period for the album, and five dance mixes were commissioned from major remixers. (A new mix of "Isn't It Midnight" would surface on a box set in 1992.) These tracks, combined with a few possible things in the vault, give us the bonus disc we present to you as part of this Reissue Theory post.

Coming February 24, 2017 pre-order your copy today! Orders with both pre-order and in stock items will have all in stock items shipped immediately!

3CD, 1 DVD & 1LP Set!

Originally released in 1987, Tango In the Night was the 14th studio album from Fleetwood Mac, the fifth from the line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood.

The album began as a Lindsey Buckingham solo project but morphed into an album for the group instead and contains the singles "Seven Wonders", "Little Lies", "Big Love", and "Everywhere".

"Artistically and commercially, the Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham/Mick Fleetwood/Christine and John McVie edition of Fleetwood Mac had been on a roll for over a decade when Tango in the Night was released in early 1987. This would, unfortunately, be Buckingham's last album with the pop/rock supergroup -- and he definitely ended his association with the band on a creative high note. Serving as the album's main producer, Buckingham gives an edgy quality to everything from the haunting "Isn't It Midnight" to the poetic "Seven Wonders" to the dreamy "Everywhere." Though Buckingham doesn't over-produce, his thoughtful use of synthesizers is a major asset. Without question, "Family Man" and "Caroline" are among the best songs ever written by Buckingham, who consistently brings out the best in his colleagues on this superb album." - allmusic.com, Alex Henderson

I am a bit baffled too, but de dustibus non disputandum I guess.
However I am also baffled by the fact that I'm apparently almost the only one who likes Caroline?

I like Caroline, too, but is it truly one of Lindsey's best songs? I'm So Afraid, Go Your Own Way, Second Hand News, Save Me a Place...

Red Rover, Tusk, Peacekeeper, Come, Say Goodbye, It Takes Time ...

To name but a few of his greatest FM songs.

I do love Caroline though. Very catchy and driving.
