Fleetwood Mac 1975 Self Titled Album

I would love to hear anything from the early days of this line up we don't already have. Are there actually any demos, or rehearsal footage, early takes, outtakes, anything?

*prays for sorcerer and candlebright once more!*

I heard a rehearsal for Warm Ways Live somewhere in the archives.. it's a bootleg, though..

I agree, but do not think it can happen. For starters, if the material existed, it would seem that something would have been included with the 2004 expanded remaster other than the single mixes. The album was completed within three months of Stevie and Lindsey joining, so it's also possible that very few extraneous recordings exist.

I was just yesterday reading the old 2001 Ledge Q&A with Ken Caillat, and came across this:

Question about the song Rhiannon. I always thought the difference between the studio version and the Live version of that song was breath taking to say the least. How did this change come about, was it altered during the rehearsals?? Can you give any details and experience's about when you first saw it done live, and your impressions. Also you mentioned there were around 10 shows recorded for every tour, does this include the White album tour? (Anonymous, New York, New York)

I think the whole experience for the band during the white album was different, they were new to the band, and recordings often are just a "snapshot" of how they felt then. When they started playing together live they discovered their real potential, that's the great thing about playing live, you just "let it go" and feel the audience reaction. No, I don't think the white album tour was recorded as often, because I wasn't there, and the label didn't know how the album was going to do.

Of course, that doesn't really prove anything.

I would love a box for the 1975 album, too. Right now, I'm also really hoping we get one for Mirage next year.

I agree, surely there is much less material than all the other albums, but there must be something more than what we already have.
Lindsey and Stevie surely brought their Buckingham Nicks material and they probably tried more songs than those that ended up on the album.
As someone already said, there is a bootleg of Warm Ways from the 1975 tour rehearsals so probably there are more songs recorded from those sessions.
Not long ago resurfaced the video of the Passaic show.
I think something can be scrapped if they really want to.
The real problem is they're always interested in serving up only Rumours, at least until now.

Y'all slow down. I haven't even finished the Tusk Deluxe set yet.
Not to mention I just received the deluxe Rumours set.

I'm so far behind...

Ooh! Exciting! I suggest you drop everything and listen to Stevie's demo of The Chain.
