Rumours Deluxe Edition

I'm holding fire now though in case tickets for the UK shows go on release this week. Couldn't afford £130 which is probably what the combined cost would be.

It is the super deluxe version. I ordered it as soon as it was announced and Amazon kept to their promise of charging the release price for pre-ordered items. The price might have gone up since mine shipped. Pricing on Amazon is very much a moveable feast.

Oh goody. There's still no sign of the version of Second Hand News that featured on the classic albums with electric guitar playing the main chorus melody. The only demo I was remotely interested in. Maybe we'll get that in another 5 years when they want to reissue it again?

So even though I'd have preferred remastered versions of Mirage and Tango In The Night with bonus material, I'm still reasonably happy that this thing is coming out. Since I'm not too interested in the DVD, and I already have the 2004 Rumours release, I'm getting the 3-disc configuration.

Anyways, I decided to sneak over to the UK version of iTunes and listen to the samples up there. And I gotta say, I really dig the "acoustic duet" versions of "Never Going Back Again" and "Doesn't Anything Last".

But definitely the coolest part is hearing the vocal version of "Keep Me There". And the coolest part is that it is now pretty obvious that "Butter Cookie" was likely just a jam where Christine was singing lyrics from "Keep Me There", as both songs share lyrics. I mean, i suspected the songs shared something in common besides just similar titles, and now this confirms that suspicion.

Anyways, totally psyched to listen to the full versions of these three songs, at least.

A friend of mine got the 3disc version a a download from Amazon, we listened to it and I have to say the original album sounds significantly (!!!) better now than on the remaster from 2004. There's a great difference in my opionion and this alone justifies the new release (for me, at least).

I'm still wondering whether I should get the 3-disc version or the super deluxe version. Hm...

Can anyone tell me, whether there's also an upgrade on the outtakes that were already released in 2004?

I'd forgotten all about this release. I received an email from amazon.co.uk last night saying the Super Deluxe version had been dispatched for £51.01 so looking forward to it.

Parcelforce haven't delivered mine yet so I expect it will turn up tomorrow.

[Almost Simon]

I got home tonight to find its already here. Man, Amazon are speedy. Never had a new release that quick.

Just opened it. Looks nice. Please the cd's are in cardboard sleeves (a rarity in modern boxsets.)

Just about to import into itunes and will give it all a nice long listen tomorrow. The live cd and the "more from the recording sessions" being the ones i'll be heading to listen to first.

Cheers Phil

I should have pre-ordered when you did! It went from £70 to £49 then and has now stuck at £54. One seller selling it for over £80 I noticed

Am torn about buying this in case concert tickets go on sale as I mentioned, so might download a few tracks to stop the agony!

So, the newly released demo of Silver Springs has a running time of 5:31.

Any speculation/confirmation of what version this may be?

[BaronVonBielski]

Can't wait, I'm getting the Deluxe 6 disc version tomorrow delivered via Amazon. Expensive, but worth it.

Omg!!!! Just listened to disk 3 More From the Recording Sessions. Love it!!!! Especially Doesn't Anything Last, the Chain (demo), & Planets of the Universe. These 3 songs make the whole package worth buying. it's weird to have a clean copy of POTU piano demo. Love Stevie's original The Chain song. So glad to finally hear it after so many years. Doesn't Anything Last is so great as a duet.

[Almost Simon]

I started off with the live disc. Sounds really good. Upto Rhiannon so far.

Havent had much time to look through the booklet. Some nice photo's. Commentary from Stevie and Lindsey on each song. A nice set. Very pleased so far. Looking forward to checking out that outtake/demo disc next.

And Lindsey said he had nothing to do with this.....

The Deluxe edition arrived this morning at work. I've ripped it and will listen to it this afternoon. I'm impressed with the packaging.
