I'm only talking about the original albums and not box sets. That was classed as a compilation. The title you mentioned is a 6CD set and was only released in 1999, so I don't think they could improve on that.
I think alot of this is down to what record label an artist is on. I've noticed through the years that certain record companies are more committed to remastering their artist's back-catalogue than others. Warner isn't a great one for remastering their albums. Sony, on the other hand are very good at looking after an artist's back-catalogue without giving superiority to one album over the rest. Alot of their back-catalogue is released under their Sony Legacy label.
Seeing as Fleetwood Mac were with CBS for the first two albums (who now come under Sony), it makes me wonder what would've happened if they had stayed with CBS throughout their career. I bet you any money that the whole FM back-catalogue would've been remastered & expanded at least six or seven years ago if they had remained under what is now "Sony Music", especially as it's as popular as Fleetwood Mac.
