Though I agree with David and Dissention about what will most likely be the bonus tracks on these remasters and though I am generally a pessimistic Mac fan, this is one case where I'm trying to look at this positively in that OK, so we've probably already heard these "bonus" recordings (whatever they'll be) but at least they'll be presented in the form in which they should be to us (finally!).
It's like the GOS stuff, many were bitching that Lindsey's SYW songs are/were "old" (as they had already heard those songs on GOS) but those people need to realize that we weren't SUPOSSED to hear those songs. If you only buy "legally rreleased" albums then SYW songs WILL "be new to you". Same could be said for Stevie demos, etc.
It's a win-win situation, either we haven't heard them yet (which is great), or we've heard them but not properly mixed/mastered, generations old copies, whatever. Either way, it's a step in the right direction however small it may be.
At least "Rumours" and "Tusk" are going to be expanded to two discs, they could've just as easily stuck the full "Sara" and the vinyl "I know I'm not wrong" mix at the end of the remastered "Tusk" and left it at that, but at least there will be SOMETHING. As people know, getting something is better than nothing.
Also, from what I understand, as the FM members were involved in OKing of the bonus tracks, it's not fair to say that "Rhino has decided what we get/don't get" as their hands seem to be more tied on this issue that many of us had previously believed (unfortunately).
I've heard some already state here that they aren't going to rebuy the albums. That's there choice and I'm happy for them but I'm looking forward to them as I don't collect bootlegs so whatever new tracks will be on these will be new to me (for the most part).
