Hi John! A lot of us fans were very excited by the reissues of Fleetwood Mac, Rumours and Tusk a couple of years ago. The remasters of the albums sounded fantastic, and all of the bonus material was a real treat to hear. We would be ecstatic to see similar treatment given to the rest of the band's catalogue - Mirage and Tango in the Night, of course, but also all of the band's albums back to Then Play On. For that matter, many fans are also hungering for official releases of such great long lost Mac documents as the Mirage concert video and the Tusk documentary - our old VHS tapes are all but worn out! Do you know if the band or the record label has any plans to follow through with projects like these? If not, is there any way to let them know how much Fleetwood Mac fans would appreciate seeing these albums and videos get a deluxe treatment? It seems that so many other artists from the 70s and 80s are busily remastering their entire catalogues and releasing all kinds of bonus goodies for their fans. We just want the band and Reprise to know that there is a huge market of die-hard Mac fans out there who are just dying for the opportunity to re-experience our favorite albums and videos and buy more Fleetwood Mac music to add to our collections! Thanks as always for taking the time to answer our questions with your trademark wit and aplomb!

That's an awesome synopsis.

The funny thing with the concert videos (Stevie's too) is that the band is actually losing money by not releasing them due to all the bootlegs being sold. Now that John is online, have him check eBay or MusicStack.com for "Fleetwood Mac DVD" - I have a feeling he'd be shocked.
