Concerning the 'shattering glass' in GDW. If you are listening for the sound of breaking glass, you won't hear that. It's just a quick second of sound that almost sounds like someone stepping on and crunching glass underfoot.

I shall have to go back and listen yet again.

Seems like a LOT of time and money spent for no real appreciable gain. No wonder everyone says record companies wouldn't stand for that kind of excess these days.

I am clearly able to hear the glass breaking starting just after 4:00 in the version of GDW on the 2009 Greatest Hits (Very Best of Fleetwood Mac). However, I can't hear it in the version on Rumours (Deluxe Edition), so they must have remixed or something for the Greatest Hits release. The Greatest Hits version is also 4 seconds longer.

*edit* I take that back, I can hear it on Rumours, but I had to turn the volume up and listen very carefully. It was much more pronounced on the Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.

Aha! I can hear it now

This changed the whole song? Really, Carol Anne?

I think one of the best bits quirks on Rumours is when Lindsey drops the f-bomb at the start of You Make Lovin Fun! At least I think it's that one, I could be wrong. I haven't listened to it that closely in ages. I love the story behind it too, that just before starting to record someone dropped a lead on the floor and it made a noise.. what else would you say to that?!

Yeah, that and the changing of Lindsey's guitar strings every 20 minutes during the all-day recording of NGBA. They burned up A LOT of studio time!

I mean.. really? And then when they got the right key.. why stop with the string changing..?

Still can't hear the glass......sigh.

Is LB dropping the f-bomb audible on released versions or on re-released version?
