How about a complete overhaul of the Fleetwood Mac back-catalogue that's yet to see any remastering or expansion. I've made a list below of the complete back-catalogue and marked in capital letters the albums that need the remastering and expanding they all deserve:
Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Remastered & Expanded by Sony in 2004
Mr. Wonderful - Remastered & Expanded by Sony in 2004
These first two albums were released on the old CBS label, which now comes under Sony Music. Both these albums were remastered with bonus tracks in 2004.
I believe the rest of the catalogue to this day is owned by Warner/Rhino:
Then Play On - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Kiln House - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Future Games - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Bare Trees - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Penguin - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Mystery To Me - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Heroes Are Hard To Find - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Fleetwood Mac - Remastered & Expanded by Rhino/Warner in 2004
Rumours - Remastered & Expanded by Rhino/Warner in 2004
Tusk - Remastered & Expanded by Rhino/Warner in 2004
Live - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Mirage - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Tango In The Night - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
Behind The Mask - NEEDS REMASTERING & EXPANDING
That's 16 albums in the back-catalogue up until 1990 and only 5 of them have had a decent upgrade. I'm a strong believer in treating all albums equally when it comes to catalogue marketing. Come on Warner, pull yourself together and give all these albums the respect they deserve!

Good list. But there is one very important remaster I didn't see here: The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions, which came out as a boxed set in 2000 and is one of the best deals you can get your hands on.
