Though a key member of Fleetwood Mac's classic line-up has passed on and two others don't communicate, the group lives on in countless catalogue titles. All of their studio albums from 1975 to 1987 have been given the box set treatment, as has their 1980 live album - and last year, a collection of Rumours-era live recordings was released on its own. Now, the same is being done for their tour in support of 1982's Mirage. Recorded over two nights at The Forum just outside Los Angeles - the same

With 1975's Fleetwood Mac, the venerable blues-rock outfit founded by Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer made a strategic leap towards the mainstream. Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie were joined on that album by two Americans, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who transformed the band into a commercial rock behemoth. Those who had followed the group's early years, though, knew that the only thing to expect from Fleetwood Mac was the unexpected. On July
Lindsey Buckingham's earliest solo works are getting a box set from Rhino this summer. True to its name, 20th Century Lindsey will feature remastered versions of the three albums the Fleetwood Mac singer/guitarist issued during the 20th century - 1981's Law and Order, 1984's Go Insane and 1992's Out of the Cradle - plus a newly compiled disc of eight rarities. The set showcases Buckingham's restless creative spirit that fueled a good portion of Fleetwood Mac's discography, blossoming into
In recent months, Rhino has reestablished itself as a preeminent player in the world of immersive audio.

Now, the label is launching a new series of Dolby Atmos mixes in physical Blu-ray format.

Over the course of four legs between February 24, 1977 and August 30, 1978, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood traveled across North America, Europe, Oceania, and Japan touring Rumours. Fleetwood Mac released their seminal album on February 4 and would perform most of it on the road. Now, a full concert performance recorded on August 29, 1977 at The "Fabulous" Forum in Inglewood, California is coming to CD, vinyl and digital platforms. On September
The loss of longtime Fleetwood Mac keyboardist Christine McVie last year remains deeply felt by fans of the long-running group's unbeatable pop/rock songs. Today, on what would have been her 80th birthday, Rhino Records is releasing unheard music by (and in tribute to) her, with plans to reissue two of her solo albums this fall. On November 3, Rhino will reissue a remastered version of 1984's Christine McVie on CD and vinyl, with a cola-bottle clear color variant of the latter available
If you'll forgive the easy reference, there's no one quite as bewitching as Stevie Nicks. Since she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and helped turn them from British blues-based cult act to blockbuster pop/rock icons, her enrapturing voice and stage presence have influenced generations. In 1981, she began a parallel solo career with hits on her own that helped make her, in 2019, the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice. It's that solo material that's the subject of a
Demon Music Group scored a real coup in 2021 with the release of Dance Masters: Shep Pettibone (The Classic Master Mixes), a box set devoted to the stellar late '80s and early '90s remixer. The branding on the set indicated that Dance Masters was to be a series, presented by another remixing great: American DJ/producer Arthur Baker. Now, two years later, another Dance Masters set is forthcoming, focused on the work of Baker himself. Dance Masters: Arthur Baker (The Classic Dance Remixes), due
Many words have already been typed to memorialize Christine McVie, the stalwart Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter/keyboardist who died November 30 after a brief illness. But really, it was right there in the name all along: before that fateful marriage to John McVie, she was born Christine Perfect. How she'd live up to that name over time. McVie, a founding member of the British blues band Chicken Shack, joined her bass-playing husband in Fleetwood Mac in 1970, a year after they were wed.

Cameron Crowe, in association with Universal Music, has done the (near-) impossible. On July 9, the writer-director will revisit the soundtrack to his 2000 instant classic Almost Famous in greatly expanded, near-complete form, including five - yes, five! - Led Zeppelin songs plus tracks by other typically difficult-to-license artists including Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder. That's not to mention new Rock and
