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.
