New mixes of Rumours and the White Album in Dolby ATMOS
 

Both Apple and Amazon have the new DOLBY ATMOS mixes of these albums and they sound AMAZING. Some have new lead and backing vocals... new parts previously unheard... Its a pretty great listen.

And the Rumours cash cow still yields milk!

Yep. I'm done. I think I've bought Rumours at least 10 times.

Mick can start eating baloney at home.

I got lost on how many editions Rumours has. I think I bought (besides the classic CD) just the DVD audio, the expanded edition (~2004?) and the 35th anniversary deluxe edition (~2013). Was ther also a SUPER deluxe edition??? :confused:

PS: I can't wait for the HYPER deluxe edition :rolleyes:

2004 for White, Rumours, and Tusk was my LAST time for repurchasing the same stuff, Over And Over(pun).

I'm a sucker for new mixes. :nod:

I got the Legacy: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours in 1998. Dreams and GYOW were ok, but though I'm an Elton fan, I hated his Don't Stop version.

The rest of the songs, I don't even remember how they sound.

Yeah, I've got it. I only listened to it maybe 3 times when I got it, and never have since.

These new mixes are AMAZING... esp the WHITE ALBUM. New vocals and parts never heart before. Similar to the 5.1 mixes... and THEY ARE FREE! You cant even buy them, they are only for streaming (I believe) -- and can be found on Amazon music, Apple Music and probably google play. Look for the version that says DOLBY ATMOS... put on your headphones and stream the magic!

That album in general was painful. Elton's Don't Stop was B-RU-TAL.

Yes, he mailed that in. And you would think he could give it a little Christine honky tonk.

How do I find these?

You should check out the Just Tell Me That You Love Me tribute album- it’s mostly by folks I haven’t heard of, but Marianne Faithfull and Matthew Sweet are on it. Silver Springs by Lykke Li, Straight Back by Washed Out, Think About Me by the New Pornographers, and Gypsy by Gardens and Villas are the standouts to me, and there are other good songs as well. The majority of folks chose Stevie songs, Christine is well represented, and Lindsey has maybe two songs represented. Also includes pre Buckingham Nicks songs. I like it, it’s definitely different.

I'm not on Apple Music either. Here's one I found on YouTube.

Marianne's cover of Angel is one of my favorite FM covers.

Thank you. I do have Apple and did a search. I have had no luck. But maybe there is a key word or something.

Jewel’s YMLF was as bad, if not worse.

Yea, that was horrible too.

Sure it was that bad, since I just listened once and never again. That CD was quickly taken to the attic, that I didn't remember how most of the songs sounded.

I honestly don't think I even listened to the entire CD. It was just bad.

I was 17-18 and trying to get my hands on anything Mac related that I could find. I’m pretty sure I threw that CD out within a week or two at best. It was horrible. Not one redeeming song.

I really like Jewel's YMLF. Highlight is that part in the outro when she sings the higher harmony.

Elton's Don't Stop has grown on me. Didn't think much of it at the time and it's not my favorite cover by any means. But he embraces the spirit of the original.

I agree. Some of them are very good. It’s fun discovering new things in songs you love that kinda surprise you and make you wanna sit and listen to them all over and over again. I especially enjoyed Gold Dust Woman and Lindsey’s electric guitar at the end which give it a whole new ending… to me. It’s odd though that Apple didn’t do Tusk, but Mirage is done in Dolby Atmos. It really helps that album sonically. I think Gypsy really stands out. I really would love for Tango and Tusk to get the treatment because Tango needs it. I was so very disappointed when we didn’t get the 5.1 Surround Sound with it.

I didnt even know MIRAGE was out in Dolby Atmos. Its SO different in this version. Very similar to the 5.1 mix — but without the weird bass dropping out. Only over you is a completely different (and better) song in this mix. There are SO many cool things to discover in the Atmos mix of this album. STRAIGHT BACK is just phenomenal!

How do you find these? Are they just in the "Essential Albums" in Apple music?

Ok, I found them. These seem to be a remix. There are definitely tracks added.

I honestly don't care for them. Some of the guitar parts for example added on Crystal are annoying and take away from the beautiful balance of this song.

Very interesting to hear some of the things that were cut out.

I did find Straight Back interesting. However, the overall mix is too spatial on all of these albums, even for my taste.

Still hear you saying…

Straight Back is cool. And Only over You, Oh Diane, and Wish you were here have a lot of added nuance which i like. Meanwhile Hold me and Gypsy have parts that take away from the song. Interesting -- but they get in the way at times — like the eyes-of-the-world oohs and ahs in the Gypsy bridge was bonkers.

It's really cool to see what was there that we never have heard before.

Like looking at the cutting room floor.

Yes! Hearing all this, you realize Mirage could have been a much more Tusk-ish album -- but then MOST of the weirdness was shaved away for the actual release. Hearing all these parts now — 40 years later — is refreshing. Not all the Atmos/Surround mixes are better — but its a damn treat to hear all that weird lindsey creativity and hear all the new background vocals swimming in the mix

In most or all cases so far, I'll take the regular mix. But, yes I'm having so much fun listening to these.

The Tusk album has now been added in Dolby Atmos, and the Lindsey Buckingham self titled album from 2021 is also available in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music.

The Tusk mixes in Dolby Atmos are truly amazing. Some are VERY different than the stereo mixes and even the 5.1 mixes. Brand new harmonies, guitar parts and even some new lead vocal parts from Stevie in a few bits (on Angel). The Chris songs REALLy open up into a new sonic world, the Linds songs are more rocking (Bass heavy) and the Stevie ones are the most different. On Sara they keep her voice in this "telephone" effect through out and BC & Storms have different layers in their mix.

Check these out (in headphones) on Apple or Amazon. Such a fun experience.

I can't wait. Be nice to hear some more harmony on this album.
