Going Back Again: Rhino Boxes Fleetwood Mac’s Classic Quintet Albums
Today in “sure, why not”: Rhino will release a box set of Fleetwood Mac’s classic albums as a quintet. 1975 to 1987, available March 28, is exactly what it states: a box set of Fleetwood Mac (1975), Rumours (1977), Tusk (1979), Mirage (1982) and Tango in the Night (1987) – available as a 5CD set or a 6LP crystal-clear vinyl box. (D2C orders from Rhino will add an additional reissue of a promotional 12″ on crystal clear vinyl, offering stereo and mono versions of Rumours-era non-album cut “Silver Springs” and that album’s standout “Go Your Own Way.”) It’s hard to imagine…
Love in Store: Fleetwood Mac Collect ‘Mirage Tour’ Recordings
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 venue where Rumours Live was…

Landslide: Fleetwood Mac Readies Super Deluxe Expansion of ‘Live’
Fleetwood Mac’s Live arrived in December 1980, roughly fourteen months after the adventurous Tusk. While Tusk had peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and yielded two U.S. top ten hits, it fell off the albums chart after nine months. (Rumours, in contrast, spent 31 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 1977-1978, a record for a group or duo.) With the public still hungry for new Fleetwood Mac material, the band issued the sprawling double album Live. It was the first live album from the line-up of Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks,…
