FM Box Sets

Okay, is the BTM box set the only Box set that we have seen from Fleetwood Mac? I know Stevie has Enchanted, but is BTM alll?
And if so, what does it have in it? Like are there more than one CD's with bonus tracks? I'm completley unknowlagable about this set, can anyone help?

In case you don't know about the Chain box set, check it out:

The BTM "box" as far as I understand was just the BTM CD alone with some pics (i.e. no extra music) etc.

Hope that helps.

The Chain box set is amazing....

personal favs are Brown Eyes (alternate version), and Tusk (alternate version)

Maybe if you have anything to trade for it, I'll be happy to make you a copy since it is OOP

Actually, I tend to see some box sets of Fleetwood Mac live during the early years (pre Buckingham Nicks). I think many of them are even pre-Christine. I'm not sure, it's been a while since I've peaked into the music store, but I've seen these live boxsets there many times.

Well, you're right Sorcerer, there are a few GREAT ones from those early Mac days, I guess I was just assuming that it was the BN era stuff they were most interested in.

By all means though, if the thread starter here is interested in the early stuff then off the top of my head (of the "2 CD or more" sets, which I assume are the ones you saw Sorecerer), I'd also recommend:

The "Complete Blue Horizon sessions" box set
The Vaudeville Years of FM
Show Biz Blues
Madison Blues (not to be confused with the Boston Tea Party compilation of recordings, though I'd highly recommmend you pick up those as well!).

I have the Behind The Mask Box which is just the cd in a regular case inside. The cd itself is incoded with some graphic stuff on the cd that you can view if you've got the proper monitor for doing so. Remember it was 1990 so the technology isn't what it is today, and I haven't been able to see it, but I understand it's like a slide show. Other then the cd its got a rice paper cover over the cd, the size of the box which lists the songs and they are printed in gold and then there is a picture underneath that which you can see through the rice paper. It's actually kind of nice. The photo is one of the photos from inside the cd book, so it's nothing unique.

Yes, I believe these are the ones I've seen...I especially remember seeing the Boston Tea Party and Blue Horizon ones. I never bought any of them because, well, I'm a B/N kind of person, but I knew I saw some earlier compilations.
