oh yes! I agree with you! I can't stop playing the set...the surround mix is great and the regular stereo version never sounded better!

As I mentioned in another thread. WBR has changed
the status of Tango just in the past week.

The same happened with Mirage just before the
deluxe issues were announced.

Fleetwood Mac’s Mirage brought the on-again, off-again band into the Reagan era, and now the classic 1982 album is getting a deluxe reissue that adds two discs of rare gold. A disc of demos covers early versions of every song on the album—a highlight is Christine McVie’s initial take of “Hold Me,” which had a traditional piano-rock chorus rather than the smooth, layered experimental totally ’80s vibe the final cut got. (I kinda like the piano-rock version better?) The third disc is a Mirage tour concert from the LA Forum that’s been circulating for years as a crappy bootleg. Nice to have it all cleaned up.—Chris Kohler

Just listened to the surround mix. It's great that many of the surround tracks run longer than on the original album

I think someone mentioned that the video version of Gypsy on disc 2 is cut short? That's it's not really the video version. But it runs 4:26 and that's how long the video is, isn't it? The version on The Chain box set was 5:21 I think, but that one was extended. The 5.1 mix runs 5:02, by the way.

Why isn't The Chain box set on iTunes?

I've no knowledge but my guess is that it is not available because (much of) the pre-rumours music isn't on iTunes. I know you've asked about this (iTunes & early music) before so why not buy the CDs and load them to your iTunes?

The 5.1 mixes of this album are astounding. If you have the box set -- but NOT a surround system, stick the 5.1 disc into you computer (I dont know if this will work on a PC -- but it does on a MAC.) Hit the "TITLE" button on the DVD controler and select either DTS or DOLBY SURROUND. This will unlock a compressed 5.1 mix that you can listen to on your stereo headphones. Some of it is wonky -- but some sound amazing. Try it out on Straight Back or Only over you for a competely different mix. I know not all of you can do that, so here's a quickie sample of the different instruments and mix http://derekbishop.net/straight51.mp3

i know!! it's amazing. thought i didnt think I could post too much since it's against Ledge policy to post commerically available tracks. But trust me... these sound AMAZING. (except for Book of Love and Gypsy that seem to have NO bottom/bass in the mix)

Very cool, thanks! Works with some surround speakers hooked up to the Mac too.

It's was $60 something dollars yesterday on Amazon
U.S. (not a third party).

At one time Amazon U.S. was selling the Rumours Deluxe
set for just over $40.

So far all I've done is "open" mine (Mirage).

It was a strange time for Fleetwood Mac when it released Mirage in June 1982. The album came three years after the band’s excessive, coke-fueled double-LP Tusk. It was also the longest gap between albums for the band up to that time, a period filled with solo records from Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. The group entered the 1980s—after owning the decade prior—at a bit of a crossroads. To this day, Mirage stands in the shadow of Fleetwood Mac’s classic work. But the back-to-basics pop of “Love in Store,” “Gypsy” and “Book of Love” is as good as anything they’ve done. This reissue deluxe set—in particular the disc of demos minus the gloss and layered harmonies (“Empire State” is especially good)—will also remind listeners that, while Fleetwood Mac’s music has come in and out of vogue, the band’s influence on modern rock will always be enormous.

Holy crap, I'd been stalking this one on eBay, because it was $29 for a bit.

$77 plus $6 shipping? FML.

Mine's still sitting a few feet away from me unplayed.

I do hope Mirage's vinyl sounds better than the one
that came with the Rumours deluxe set. It was bad!
