DETAILS
This Individually Numbered, Limited Edition Colored Vinyl Boxed Set Is Exclusive to the Rhino Store.

Fleetwood Mac released five back-to-back multi-platinum albums between 1975 and 1987, an astonishing feat that drove them to become one of the best-selling bands in the world.

This collection includes: Fleetwood Mac on white vinyl; Rumours on clear vinyl; Tusk on a silver vinyl 2-LP set; Mirage on violet vinyl; and Tango In The Night on green vinyl.

A new incarnation of Fleetwood Mac debuted in the summer of 1975 that included Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie, along with new members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. The group’s first album together, Fleetwood Mac (sometimes called “The White Album”), topped the Billboard album chart, spent more than a year in the Top 40 and sold more than five million copies in the U.S. thanks to songs like “Landslide,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Rhiannon.”

In 1977, the band followed up with Rumours, considered by many to be among the greatest albums of all time. It won the Grammy® for Album of the Year and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Its unforgettable tracks include: “Go Your Own Way,” “Gold Dust Woman” and the band’s first number one smash, “Dreams.”

The Grammy®-nominated double-album Tusk arrived in 1979. It sold more than four million copies worldwide and introduced fans to hits like “Sara,” “Think About Me,” and the title track. Three years later, in 1982, Fleetwood Mac again topped the U.S. Album Chart for five weeks with Mirage. Along with hits like “Hold Me” and “Gypsy,” Mirage also features great album tracks like “Oh Diane” and “Straight Back.”

In 1987, Tango in the Night became the second-most successful album of the band’s career, selling more than 15 million copies worldwide with the massive hits “Everywhere,” “Big Love” and “Little Lies.”

I want the pre Buckingham / Nicks era. This needs to be done.

none of those albums are OOP are they?

i am missing the first couple albums (i think, sometimes hard to keep track of early mac).

On CD, please.

Yes, and with proper re-mastering and bonus.

At the very least, all of the Kirwan and Welch albums deserve the same kind of treatement given to the later stuff. Whether there's enough of a market for that, who knows. Let Esoteric do them if Warner doesn't want to.

We may need to petition Linda. But Yes, Esoteric would be my first choice of reissuer. I just blows my mind why WB would just let these tapes languish in the vaults, I just love this middle period. A sound & feel of its own.

Would anyWAN else buy superdeluxed versions of the Kirwan and Welch years besides you, me and Larry?

Count me in.

"Hypnotized" from Mystery To Me is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song, period.

Me.

I think Linda's in. You can probably move on to petitioning Amazon and the record companies.

count me in, all the way through welch.

Great, another signature for my proposed petition.

the problem is that i just don't think neither mick fleetwood, nor john or chris mcvie, even care about those records anymore.

i don't think any of them made them the boatloads of money that the buckingham/nicks years did.

and those above them, the powers that be, would rather just keep repackaging the big money makers than put any kind of effort into the b/n stuff.

Eye bee inn, awl the weigh !!!

I suggest a petition of 4- you, Rick, Robin and me to be sent to the band to let them know that there's a market of 4 people. They can press up four super deluxe box sets of each of those middle period albums.

Problem solved!

Um, me.

Bare Trees is one of the best Mac albums.

I'm in for super deluxe versions of the pre-Buckingham Nicks era, too. Future Games, Mystery to Me, Bare Trees, Heroes are Hard To Find -- great stuff. Mystery to Me is the most criminally underrated album the band ever made.
