Has anyone's "Anthology" CD arrived yet?
 

I bought a few tickets to LB's tour and signed up for the free accompanying CD, but I can't find any tracking info for them, now that they are due to have been shipped. Has anyone gotten theirs in the mail yet? Today's the day they should start arriving, right?

Got my shipping notice email yesterday (thursday)

I received my tickets in the mail today.
I got the email that the CDs are on the way 3 days ago. Should be here any day

Tracking says I should get my CDs on Tuesday Oct 9

My CDs arrived today! The sticker on the plastic wrap says it includes the two new songs... but they aren’t on here. There are 21 songs, all previously released.

I assume this is the case for everyone’s???

Are we only getting the single CD version not the 3 disc version?

yep :sorry:

I’m surprised “Wrong” isn’t on here. I never liked the song myself, but it was the first single from OOTC wasn’t it?

I’ve been pretty convinced that he’s saving it for this tour. Though, as I’m listening to his selections for the anthology, and feeling very connected to his emotions right now (this man speaks to me more than anyone in my life ever has), I think that he’s more hurt by this situation than angry.

“Wrong” is a (rightfully) angry and vengeful song. Lindsey seems to be more healing through the endlessly sorrowsome emotions of “Soul Drifter” than a track like “Wrong”.

I wonder if Nancy’s story about trying to get Lindsey to play Soul Drifter in the 2000s didn’t resonate with him at the time because he was whole - with being back into Fleetwood Mac and the creative force behind it once again.

Perhaps, these emotions are all too familiar to him. Betrayal, selfishness, longing, misunderstanding...

More so than “rock cock”...

I got my 3CD collection today. I can’t wait to listen to the set in order tomorrow on my way to work.

Hasn’t come for me yet.

My copy also arrived today! I was disappointed it was only the one CD, though. Still excited.

I, too, am surprised Lindsey didn't include Wrong here. And it's not on his set list, nor is Countdown. I'd love to hear both live.

Mine's on the way. Should get it this week sometime. I opted for the 3 cd set. Going to be playing this for quite some time. Nice body of work Mr. Buckingham!

On edit, maybe you were just asking if the free cds arrived for those that bought concert tickets. So sorry if I supplied you with useless information. :laugh:

I'll buy it if it has great art or photos. I'm a visual learner.

My CD has nothing in terms of liner notes. Just 2 pictures of Lindsey and a track listing. Disappointingly sparse :(

Yay! I just received my CD and it sounds GREAT. Lindsey's solo stuff sounds so good on remastered CD. Great collection of songs! Its missing my 2 favorites but you cant get everything.

The beauty and magic is in the audio, not the visual mister. :)

It’s great to hear these songs back to back. I’m mid way through Disc 2 in my car listening on the commute.

LOL! True enough, but I was just answering David's question about whether there were liner notes. However, I freely admit I'm a sucker for liner notes and thank yous and dedications and lyrics and all those other visuals.

I wonder if the 3 CD collection is any different in terms of packaging? Usually these collections have chart listings, album photos, etc.

that's just a single CD / the one that comes with concert tix. the 3CD version has liner notes etc. i didn't have time to look through much yet, just transferred to my itunes so could listen on the Portland trip.

i got 2 of my free CDs today too. the 3CD came from amazon on friday.

DW Suite followed by Ride This Road? heavenly sequence. in fact all 3 CD's have almost perfect sequencing.

the only song i'd get rid off are Time Precious Time and Stars Are Crazy, i would replace them with Wait For You and The Right Place to Fade.

as far as cover songs, i'd much rather have To Try For The Sun than I Am Waiting.

The sequence on the "free" CD flows very nicely.

I can't believe how sparkling clear the remasters are!

Agreed, I'm amazed at the added depth of these songs.

Excellent
 

Yeah, I would imagine we all have a song or 2 we wanted included (Mine is On the Wrong Side from the With Honors soundtrack) but overall, it is an amazing collection. When I listened to it over the weekend, it got me very emotional. Hearing Time Bomb Town made me smile!! All the songs sound so fresh and clear with some of the fades sounding much stronger.

I received 2 of my 3 free CDs so far.

yes, very excellent remastered sound! a pity a lot of the songs have been shortened: troube, go insane, doing what I can, I must go, did you miss me, down on rodeo etc.
probably to make all the songs fit on the cd's...

Same here.

So I got my 3 cd set today and am currently on disc 2. Really enjoying this collection of songs from Lindsey. Some of these songs I've never heard before. Shame on me, but the last record of Lindsey's I bought was OOTC. Almost everything after that is new to me. And I must say that I like his later stuff better. Seems more mature and sophisticated to me. I'm probably going to have to get into all of his solo records now too.


Here's to an artist that wants to keep on giving, not rehashing.


So looking forward to Blue Light!

Well said!

I'm on disc 3 now!!!! LIVE BABY LIVE!!! Lindsey shines!!! TUSK!!!!!! ALL HAIL LINDSEY!!!

I"M SO AFRAID! I'm dying!!!! God, there is no other song like this! Chills!

Well, thank you, thank you very much, with an Elvis accent. :laugh:

THIS ANTHOLOGY CD IS ****ING AWESOME! I LOVE IT! GO BUY IT! LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM! :woohoo:

yes, i love OOTC and his 3 last albums. Seeds is actually my favorite album of his.

surprisingly though on the only stop of this tour i saw so far i loved loved loved I Must Go and Slow Dancing (the latter song i never cared about before)!!

Must be that creative Mr. Buckingham. How he re creates and draws you back in. He's EVIL! :laugh:

Oh by the way I'm really loving this LIVE version of "Trouble"! SWEET!

There's a live version of this song on the cd, not his particular one, I don't think, maybe it is. Too lazy to check. But I really got turned on to this song listening to the live cd of the anthology set. I think it's beautiful!

Are there any different versions/edits?

That’s how I felt about Doing What I Can. The album version bored me and then the live version was incredible. Then, I liked GOS, but the live version was sensational, making me go from like to love.

Okay I'm totally in love with this song. In particular this live version. It could possibly be my favorite LB song ever. That's a stretch, but I really love it! :blob2:

ETA This is the version on the anthology set. This 3 cd set is soooooo good!

Hey, I hope everyone got their cds by now!! I'm absolutely loving this 3 cd set anthology of Lindsey's. It's kind of like the BuckVie cd, it gets better and better with each listen. But this anthology set blows the BuckVie cd out of the water.

Another song that's got my attention. The remastered song on the anthology set is awesome. I had tears in my eyes listening to it. I felt it personally.
