Fleetwood Mac – hear an unreleased version of Tusk
We’ve got an alternate version of the brilliant title track from Tusk – have a listen and let us know what you think
As regular readers of Guardian Music will know, we love our Fleetwood Mac. Specifically, we love the version of Fleetwood Mac whose members did blizzards of cocaine and kept divorcing each other. Imagine our excitement, then, at news of a deluxe edition of Tusk, the bizarre album with which they chose to follow Rumours. The 5CD edition – the one we’re putting on the Christmas list – has the original album, a load of demos, an “Alternate Tusk” album of outtakes, and a double-disc live set from the band’s 1979-80 tour. The 3CD edition dispenses with the live set.
Here, we’ve got the “Alternate Tusk” version of the title track, the bonkers tune for which the group hired the University of Southern California Trojan marching band and recorded them at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. But how does this rendition compare? Have a listen and let us know in the comments below.
Sadly, owing to record company restrictions, this recording is only available to hear in the UK.
