Tell Me All The Things You Do: Rhino Boxes Fleetwood Mac’s Early Reprise Years
How many times will they reissue Rumours? I have two already (the last one from 2013!) Not biting on this. How about give us something we actually WANT, like a proper Buckingham Nicks release? Good grief.
It’s actually the self-titled album and aside from the single disc reissue from over a decade ago, it’s the first big deluxe reissue for this album, which I love.
The Fleetwood Mac reissue campaign has been fantastic.
My bad. But actually they did a one cd deluxe with five bonus tracks on this one too in 2004 so I’m good with that.
Bare Trees really needs to come out. & hopefully poor Danny Kirwan gets a piece of that pie. He is genius & this album deserves so much more & would b favorably heard by Buckingham Nicks fans. BTW Bare trees is a great FM album from ‘72 I believe. Anyone else for it?
Does anyone know the approximate packaging dimensions of the Ten Years After box set? Is it CD-sized (5″) or vinyl-sized (12″).
In the middle , more 10 inch sized
I’m hoping for some of Lindsey Buckingham’s early solo albums get a nice remastering soon. Law and Order would be nice. Rhino just did some of Stevie’s early solo discs recently.
There is a label in Korea that reissued Buckingham Nicks on CD in Mini LP packaging with bonus tracks. It is now out of print. I have been wondering if it was authorized. I was fortunate enough to get one. The sound is great and it was only 16.99 USD!
Alas, that release is far from authorized, but hopefully one day Lindsey and Stevie will allow it to (legally) see the light of day again!
That is what I suspected. Interesting that the BN Mini LP CD is back in stock on that website. I was sure that Lindsey had put the kibosh on it.
