When I got a computer I illegally downloaded Tusk and fell in love with pretty much the whole thing right away, especially 'Sara' and pretty much every LB contribution. So I packed up my pennies and went to A & B Sound to get the CD but all they had was a hits package (I think the one from the late 80s), Rumours and probably the [White] self titled album.
So I sort of begrudgingly bought Rumours, but I still knew that these songs would be good - my parents had The Dance and my dad played it a lot - so I knew The Chain, Dreams, You Make Loving Fun, Go Your Own Way and Don't Stop would all be good and I knew Gold Dust Woman (my parents didn't have the DVD Dance just the CD, so I didn't know it was in the set)..
I have to admit the first time I heard The Chain and Dreams on Rumours I didn't like them as I was so used to the Dance versions. But I was just a stupid teenager. Anyway one and a half to two weeks later I picked up Tusk and I wish I could remember the order of albums after that but I can tell ya I got a lot of Welch stuff before Mirage and the 75 album, but I probably got Tango third or fourth and loved that one too.
