Default Bella Donna is Rhino's 'Album of the Day' today (Aug 6, 2014)

From Rhino.com:





As the gypsy queen of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks was the toast of the pop world, and that winning streak continued when she began making her own albums. Released in 1981, Bella Donna shot to No.1 and eventually went quadruple-platinum; its ten tracks include no less than four Top 40 hits: "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" (a duet with Tom Petty), "Leather And Lace" (a duet with Don Henley), "Edge Of Seventeen" and "After the Glitter Fades." The glitter has yet to fade for Stevie (who will continue to light up the stage in this year's Mac reunion), and the superb Bella Donna is an ideal showcase for her talents as a singer and a songwriter.

I was lucky enough to find a pristine, sealed copy of "Bella Donna" (and "Rock A Little")on vinyl at a used record store a few weeks back. Put it on my turntable and it sounded so pristine and fresh, as if it were recorded and pressed just yesterday.

I worry now, that I might become one of those vinyl snobs that only purchases "sealed" copies of old records.

I agree that they should do some sort or special edition re-press of "Bella Donna" on vinyl, like they did for "Rock A Little" last year.

Hey RHINO - where's our Bella Donna expanded/remaster?

I'm here, waiting impatiently. Don't forget the original custom labels, expanded liner notes, and at least 150g virgin vinyl for the old school folks. And 5-8 previously unreleased outtakes and demos for the 2CD/1DVD set which will also include the b-sides, single mixes, those abandoned dance remixes of Edge, and the HBO special in it's entirety, on blu-ray. Thanks.

I too agree.Plus Stevie's later CD's only released copies should get the vinyl treatment too.
Also includes FM too.

I'm so glad that vinyl is coming back.
