Reissues of Mirage, Tango? - Page 2

I think you'll see them release them eventually. I have much love for both Mirage and Tango. However, one thing is probably certain...there won't be much from Stevie on Tango

As Chili said, they're already in the process of doing the catalog. Undoubtedly we'll get nice remasters of everything, which something like MIRAGE especially is in DESPERATE need of. That CD transfer is awful.

However, don't get your hopes up that some of the albums like Mirage or TITN might have expanded versions like the new ones do. It's an expense and a lot of work- they might not think the sales are worth the extra work, and I don't disagree, as much as I'd like expanded editions myself.

The very early WISYA where Stevie sings Whassamaddababay as a soprano.

The thought of any more versions of that song hurts my everything.

I really like WISYA

::cowers in the corner away from Ali::

...although her singing that at a higher pitch? Yipes. Not so sure about that

I like it too. Though my favorite part of the whole song is that line Lindsey sings toward the end.

If they're reissuing the entire Fleetwood Mac catalogue...and this is probably a very stupid question...does that include The Dance and Say You Will?

I suppose I wouldn't be deeply broken-hearted if they only released 'Mirage' as a 1-disc set, with maybe a few extras (the radio versions of "Love In Store" and "Gypsy," and the non-LP b-side, "Cool Water," for example), like they did with 'Fleetwood Mac.'
Certainly an expanded version would be better, but I'd just be thrilled to FINALLY have a decent-sounding copy... the poor sound-quality on the current CD is a travesty.

But, in saying that, I would be very disappointed if 'Tango' didn't receive the expanded treatment.
The main remixes/extended versions need to be released (we don't really need all of those dub versions though), as do the non-LP b-sides.

I'm not going to hold my breath for "If You Were My Love," "Joan Of Arc," and "What Has Rock And Roll Ever Done For You" though.

'Tango' has sold over 3 million in the states, and the worldwide figure (8 million copies) was correct as of 1997. Might be a little higher by now.

Counting the worldwide figures, it's definitely the band's second biggest selling album.

It's definitely the worst. It can't even cut through the white train noise during my commute, for crying out loud.

That distinction belongs to 1989's FM's Greatest Hits, which contained two new songs

It has sold like 8 million in the U.S. alone I think.

I assumed Johnny wasn't counting the Greatest Hits package, I thought he was referring to albums of original material...

I always thought the White album sold more than Tango.

I know - but it is so rare that I get to correct Brother Stew

:sool:

I think Le Stew would correct La Nicks if he met her.

Stevie: "Rhiannon, our only #1 single..."

Le Stew: "Actually, Dreams was your one and only #1 single from the 1977 album Rumours, which went on to sell almost 30 million in the US and around the world. It's certified diamond, by the way. Also, and this is a horse of a different color but a number one all the same, the remix for Planets of the Universe hit #1 on the dance charts. It was a song from your 2001 gold-certified release Toruble In Shangri-La."

It's all in good fun, Johnny.
