this album was put together with the general public in mind..not the fans. i think its a GREAT mix for somone who is new to fleetwood mac. And its a very best of album..not a greatest hits..so its going to have songs that were hits and songs that the band just likes and thinks belong on the discs.
I said this before on another forum..and i dont mean to get on a soapbox...but this is a good thing just to get someething out on the market and their named mentioned here and there...a few press articles. Just to get the name out there before the new album really gets going. This will probably help the band more than we know. All of us know that they cant fill an arena of 15000 die hard fans like ourselves...that rarely happens. Yes its a money maker blah blah...i don't blame them for trying to make a living and that dam GH from 88 is kinda incomplete. I will look forward to having this set in my car to play.
About the fact that no new tracks were added...we dont know that. They could throw in a freebie third disc on a limited amount that has just a new tune or two. Dave matthews did that with a dvd disc thing. It would spoil the suprise if they told us they were going to include a bonus track you know. Just wait and see
Just my two cents ....didnt mean to preach
