Fleetwood Mac / Rumours Super Deluxe Edition 6-disc box set

Rumours! Again! Mirage and Tango In The Night album with bonus track? When??

Looks nice for sure, and I will likely pick it up. But I’m with Thom, while I appreciate the attention the “golden age” of Fleetwood Mac gets – deservedly so – it would be nice for the Bob Welch era to get some attention. Much of that stuff is difficult to find unless you wanna browse used bins. Some nice reissues of that material would be welcome (although I wonder what the market for it would be. Maybe a good opportunity for folks to discover that there is some great FM material pre Stevie/Lindsey)

As much as I love this record, this all looks a bit too superfluous for my tastes. I’d prefer some long-overdue remastered Bob Welch-era albums to be honest.

Wow, this looks amazing. Surprised, though, they are releasing this in January and not in December to capitalize on the Christmas sales.

But at least it will not have to compete with other deluxe edition releases.

Surround. Where the hell is the surround mix of this !!!!!!!!!! I’m gonna have to cash an extra 50 bucks (which includes shipping to South America ) for the SACD of this available in Japan since last year on top of the box set price.
The price is fair for once (90 bucks including shipping) with a box set, with the exception of the amazing Screamadelica box set released last year which included awesome material and bought it for 90 bucks, but included two LPs, t-shirt, LP mat, book and 3 CDs plus the DVD. Absolutely brilliant.
I’ve pre-ordered it, but will most likely cancel considering there’s no hi-def version of the album included here. I rather spend my cash in the SACD version of this and buy the 3 disc version in 2013.

It is a shame that the 5.1 has been overlooked for this set, a new surround mix would have been perfect seeing as the DVD-A (which I do own) was done at the very beginning of the format’s introduction over a decade ago. Just one thing…. If there is a new mix, Mr. Buckingham I implore you….please remix the tracks as they were. The drums added in the DVD-A 5.1 mix of my favourite track “Never Going Back Again” have annoyed me for 10 years.

I’d like to win this!!

Sainsburys has this to preorder at £51.99 for the SDE and £8.99 for the 3CD version. I have ordered lots from there, occasionally they can arrive a few days after release, but that tends to be with more obscure, newer bands. I also managed to get some Eric Clapton 2CD Deluxe Edition when it was onsale at £6.99. Worth checking out

This looks fantastic! However, when are we going to see Mirage and TITN remastered and expanded versions? Not to mention Bella Donna and Buckingham & Nicks…

Well, I own the DVD-A, so surround sound for me is taken care of (The irony, as I don’t have a true surround system, I was only after the recording/release for the commentary tracks!)

As much as I was fearing (yet) another version of this album, I too am happy that they attempted to reduce the amount of duplication from the 2003 reissues. I’m still stuck getting the big set – because I wan’t the dvd footage, no doubt. I’m amazed to finally see this, since it was mentioned by the band back for the UNLEASHED TOUR. Kinda cool to see it now.

We must point out that at least Lindsey isn’t so thrilled with this (he’s already said that the band isn’t involved in the project (sad) and that he ‘…didn’t have much to say…’ about it…. Still, it looks like the fans do win out here.

Wasn’t Silver Springs supposed to go in the middle of the album? Not tagged on the end? Perhaps one difference from the 2003 reissue….

Wonder why they didn’t press the record on white vinyl, like the original was in limited quantities? And I seem to recall that there wasn’t a gatefold either. Never mind. Boo-sucks to them though for not releasing the 5.1 in this set.

That was quick! It was only yesterday that I first read of the “rumor” of this set. Anyway, the 3-CD set is a great option.

Very grateful that they have had the courtesy to produce the 3-CD version so that I don’t have to buy yet another massive box just to get one disc. Now could we please have Buckingham-Nicks on CD?

but where is the 5.1 mix ??

can somebody explain why there is a “DVD”-logo on the third disc in the expanded exition?

This is a must own….

making a 3 CD version available without duplicating the 2004 extras is superb from the band and label. the Super Deluxe is pretty well priced, will have to see how much cash is available at the end of Jan before deciding!
