Ohhhhhhhh yeah so my favorite Fleetwood Mac poster is an ad for The Chain (looks like this one http://bit.ly/j28cqD) so that's another favorite thing of mine - they had cool posters. Stupid, I know, but whatever.

I've never seen that poster; it is very cool. It should have been the cover of the box set. If Gypsy is your favorite song, why on earth wouldn't you like the extended version? Very strange, because it's exactly the same song without the edits -- just a bit more to it. It doesn't "do it" for you just because you haven't listened to enough? That's crazy talk!

I really liked the new stuff that appeared on the set. Not a huge fan of "Paper Doll" but I can't say that I don't like it. "Make Me A Mask" is alright I supposed. Doesn't really do much for me.

The "Beautiful Child" version is just phenomenal! I actually prefer it to the "Tusk" album version. "Goodbye Angel" is another great track. The remix of the live version of "I'm So Afraid" is horrible. The version of "Brown Eyes" on this set is actually better (in my opinion) than the "Tusk" version.

Just my humble opinions.

I really enjoyed the box set, at least the 3 discs I bought used last year at FYE. It really helped to expand my Fleetwood Mac collection and branch out into the Pre-Rumours era.

Favorite "new" songs
Why
Love Shines
Station Man
Say You Love Me (single mix aka the "kick a**" version)
Need Your Love So Bad
Hypnotized
Beautiful Child

I think they could of done a better job of the booklet of photos!

For me, this box-set is worth it just for that fact that Heart of Stone and Love Shines is on it. Those two songs are in my top 10 Christine songs ever.

He DID do some vocal & guitar overdubs to "Paper Doll", even though it was the Behind The Mask incarnation that recorded the basic tracks.

Wow, I never knew that Lindsey did work on Paper Doll. Was this done during the Tango sessions?

"Love Shines" and "Heart of Stone" were my two favorites from this collection.

No, 'Paper Doll' is from 1992.
