Ok, then there was the DVD-Audio, but that was a different format that required a DVD-A player to actually hear the mix; this won't even play on a CD palyer, and now the format is dead, anyway.
Were there other releases of Rumours besides these?

Vinyl
8-track
cassette
cassette with the white Fleetwood Mac album
CD
DVD-A
Expanded edition CD (which didn't sound all that different, to my ears)
Classic albums
Why do a Rumours box before remastering Mirage, which is the epitome of a bad-sounding CD put out in the 80's? Get to the other stuff first, then revisit Rumours. Hell, reissue the Tusk doc and Mirage concert video first. Dare I say reissue expanded editions of albums from Then Play On through Heroes Are Hard To Find? There is so much more to the band's history, and they're just going on cruise control with Rumours. |
Let's not forget
Greatest Hits with 4
Rumours songs,
The Chain box AND
The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac both with 10 of the 12 songs (includes "Silver Springs"), and
The Dance with 6 of its 17 tracks being from
Rumours...."beating a dead horse"?? This is just psychotic how they've kept rehashing ONE album over & over....and not just
Rumours, add in the rehashing of the 1975 album's songs, too, and you'd think those were the only two albums Fleetwood Mac ever released.
