Review: Fleetwood Mac, 'Fleetwood Mac: Deluxe Edition'
Take away all the artifice and ephemera of the new deluxe edition of Fleetwood Mac's 1975 self-titled album (Reprise R2 559454) and you're still left with an intriguing and endlessly challenging question: how? How did a British blues band with only fleeting chart success in their home country metamorphose into one of the greatest rock bands of the 20th century's back half, architects of 18 Top 40 hits and eight platinum or multiplatinum records? And how did they do so with their ninth lineup? As

Andmoreagain: Rhino Marks 50th Anniversary of Love's "Forever Changes" with Massive Box Set
Released just months after the so-called Summer of Love, Forever Changes was the third studio album by the group simply and boldly called Love. But more than just that four-letter word was on the mind of bandleader/songwriter Arthur Lee, who saw beyond sunshine and flowers that summer. Love traded in the punchy electric guitar sound of the group's first two albums (and successful singles like "7 and 7 Is" and a cover of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "My Little Red Book") for a denser, more
