Besides for some select songs and two albums, I love Stevie, that's why.

Not Make Believe is excellent.

Don't worry - we know you love it.

Alright, I'll admit that when I play the bonus disc, I don't always skip it...but that's all I'm admitting to, dammit!

I think the limited eddition is worth having from a collectors point of view, but it was dissapointing. I thought the packaging was terrible. The cover of the regular version is so much nicer. It was also very poorly constructed. The first time I opened the booklet the binding started to come apart. They didn't even include any different inserts from the regular cd release. The bonus disc graphics stink. It would have been nice if it was a picture disc or something. As far as the material on the bonus disc, I actually could have done without the live versions of Peacekeeper and Say you Will in place of other unreleased things. I do really enjoy Love minus zero. I never really cared for the demo of Not Make Believe, and although not much has been changed, the vocals are much better. I would have much rather had All the Beautiful Worlds released. Wasn't that rumored to have been recorded for this album?

I think it's worth it for Lindsey's cover of the Dylan song and for Not Make Believe. I am one of those who thinks NMB should have replaced Silver Girl... NMB has good vocals (lacking in lyrics, however) and good guitar work, IMHO.

I agree that the limited edition packaging sucks. Mine is starting to fall apart. I also really like the cover of the regular cd and I wish they had put that on the cover of the limited edition also. As for the material on the cd, I like Love Minus Zero and Not Make Believe gets a little better each time I hear it. But the AOL sessions of Peacekeeper and Say You Will are a waste. I wish they had put a few other new songs on there instead to make the bonus cd more worth it. Hopefully they are saving their new songs for a new cd.

I love Not Make Believe. And the Lindsey cover tune. Both are excellent, I think. I like the lyrics to Not Make Believe - makes me think about Stevie singing about Fleetwood Mac. "...then there are the things, that cast the doubt away, the things that made me stay for so long...." It's simple, but I love, don't know why.

The poster - that fold out thing with all the itty-bitty worthless pics of the band in the studio? Is that what the "poster" is? I think that was a waste. I would have rather had one larger pic of each one of them so we could atleast see it. That seemed a waste of paper, waste of expense. Why bother. This is when I miss albums, because you;d get a bigger pic on the front and back cover, and posters were folded less, and usually were better. Or even the inserts were usually better. Oh well....Progress....

Aside from thinking "Not Make Believe" is a good song, and Lindsey's cover of "Love Minus Zero/No Limit" is superb, the cd is a LIMITED EDITION. You've got to get it if you're an avid Fleetwood Mac fan.
