Singles

[Alexbt]

I was in the store the other day and I happned to notice the remastered 'Fleetwood Mac' which has bonus tracks, and some of which are singles.

Two such single tracks were Over My Head and Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win). What is the difference between these tracks and the regular ones?

If memory serves, "Over My Head" doesn't fade-in and and has some different guitar flourishes. "Rhiannon" has some different background vocals and a more pronounced guitar riff. Their differences are very noticable, unlike a lot of the alternate versions on "The Chain" boxed-set.

A little off-topic, but not quite:

I just got the new Blondie "Singles Box" in the mail today and I sure wish that the Mac would put out something like this. It's 15 discs, each one having the original tracks that were on the vinyl singles back in the day. Each disc is housed in a 7" recreation of the original picture sleeves, too. To have something like this from FM would be fantastic, IMO.

No, it was $45.



Here's a link with more pictures of the set and everything. It is REALLY stunning and thorough. Can Debbie Harry be any more beautiful?

Mick told in his book that Over my head was remixed for better sound on car stereos. Cool sound so it would be more pop and friendly listening on radios.

But I never knew which version was remixed, the one at the album, the single, or an alternative just for radios distribution.
