Mirage To Finally Be REMASTERED In 2011

So...not being familiar with FM bootlegs, where could a person find these songs? Are they available online? And what other outtakes or demos from the MIRAGE sessions are known?

Of course, should these rumors of a MIRAGE remaster with bonus tracks come true, I would gladly buy the official version.

I've always thought that MIRAGE was underrated. I was listening to "Hold Me" the other day, and it really is a fantastic pop song. The two-part harmony on the verses by Christine and Lindsey is sublime, and the chorus has a great Brian Wilson-inspired vocal arrangement [far from Christine's chorus on the demo I've heard on YouTube].

Thanks,

I find stuff on Youtube all the time.

Matt, I believe some of them are on YouTube and there may be some available through the Buckingham Nicks website. The Seven Wonders message board has fans who share audio files but one must be a supporting member to do so. As for the other Mirage demos/outtakes that are known, I can't answer that question but there are probably websites from avid collectors who have detailed lists.
