Though I didn't actually buy this album until September of 1978 it changed my life forever. Ofcourse I had heard all the released singles on the radio throughout 1977-78 and it was You Make Loving Fun that hooked me into buying the album and that's when I heard Gold Dust Woman for the first time. To this day I could hear GDW a thousand times a day and never tire of it. The last few minutes of the song is priceless.

I would have to agree with you vi fox about your comments on Gold Dust Woman. I bought the album when it came out in 77. It was I Don't Want to Know that hooked me.I heard it on the radio and the was the beginning of this incredible 35 years of music. I found Silver Springs a month later and was just blown away. I ran out and bought everything released prior to Rumours and then waited for their next release. Of course that was Tusk, that became my number one album and song of all time. Happy Birthday!

Yes, I didn't buy any albums until after Tusk was released. Then, after hearing Sara, I bought Tusk and eventually went back and got the other two albums. I was surprised that those songs that I had heard on the radio so much were all by the same band. I had never paid attention.

Super-Lame joke of the day: I thought by now this album would be "Second Hand News".

Default The best was given, and the best taken out of all of them

When you write those beautiful songs and feel their feelings in an Album like Rumours, it took a toll on them........many thanks for your gift to us all FM!

John McVie, you named the album, good job.

35 years from now others will try to duplicate it, but will fail to reproduce an album like this.

I say a Rumours movie will be made of FM, one day it will produced I'm sure.
