Rumours Deluxe Edition

[Hawkeye]

I apoligise in advance for massive spelling spacing or grammar errors. Im using an ipad and typing a long review on touch screen is torture.

I finally picked this up. It's just such an amazing release. The chain and keep me there are 100 percent equivalent to us getting 2 new songs released. So that is the perfect hold over until the 2 or 3 actual new songs get released. And the one is a new Christine movie song so that's a win win.


the live album is 90 percent perfect. Rhiannon and world turning are my favorite s. for as many times as world turning and gold dust woman have been part of shows or tours that have gotten official releases and not made the audio versions, it's about damned time they both are here. As chili said earlier the only song that's still not properly officially recorded and should've been is you make loving fun. Dance version doesn't cut it. So 5 percent loss for not being the full show And another 5 for YMLF being one of the exclude. The rest they left off doesnlt bother me. And I should freaking add 5 points back for them finally having the balls to keep landslide off the cut. I'm so afraid would've most likely been awesome. Might've been my favorite released version, but we have enough of those to keep me happy. Same with oh well.


Now the new demos disc is probably overall better then the 04 disc, but it's great we have both and it's great that it really is all different.

The chain trilogy is the highlight of this disc and the whole reissue. I agree with others in being puzzled how none of this made the 04 version but this is well worth the wait. Gave us a great gift we didn't know we had to look forward to in 2013. And I love how they all follow each other. I will say I might like the mumbled Christine singing to hearing the actual words. I'm shocked no one has mentions the reapperence of the if you ever did believe lyrics at the end of the chain. She sang those lyrics in every demo she did that year apparently. But it fits the end of this song way better then at the end of that gold dust woman demo. The creation of the official chain is one of the most fascinating things in the macs history.

The rest of this disc is not shabby at all. I love the addition of Stevies vocals on NGBA and the lack of her vocals on IDWTK. Seriously I wish both of those songs were reversed and released as they are on this new disk. Not just ver vocal but the new instrumentation on ngba is incredible. My 2 least favorite songs on rumours vastly improved. The only thing missing is AGAIN, you make
Loving fun. That song has not fared well on this package.
