What Happened to Re-release of Rumours...

His set is an exhaustive and comprehensive span of his whole career. Also, Neil was extremely prolific (released/live/otherwise) -- the Rumours-era band was anything but prolific. In fact, sadly, overall, their collective output pales in comparison to many still-active bands of their stature.

That they couldn't manage to time their tour with the re-release of a 32-year old album speaks volumes to the incompetence of their management. Plus the band members have their tentative heads up their asses. Essentially, their marketing skills suck big time -- old school, with no relavance to the current market/technologies. But that's no surprise; they've been consistant in that regard. So many missed opportunities.

I agree completely with this post. It's what I was trying to say before but you put it across in a far more considered, less ranty way than I did!

Good CD, but instead of re-releasing Rumours why don't they instead make a new album? I understand that Rumours did really well, but i've seen alot of people complain that they get tired of seeing the same stuff. People won't complain if something new is made...or will they....

Bingo. This re-release of Rumours is a great idea for when they have no other way to make money in 15 years, or to correlate with a new CD/tour. But then again, Mac's management doesn't exactly like to be reasonable about these things.

Has anyone heard if the Rumours four-disc box set is coming out? I haven't heard anything about it since March and just wondered if there have been any updates.
