This deluxe edition of Tusk includes a bonus disc featuring roughs, outtakes and demos.
No home should be without at least one copy of TUSK. Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus of 1979 is considered by some to be their greatest work. And while you are probably familiar with the hits, you may not realize that this recording is full of gems like Christine McVie's gorgeous "Brown Eyes" and Lindsey Buckingham's rousing and infectious "I Know I'm Not Wrong." Of course, even the Nikei industrial average would sound beautiful if it were sung with Christine's wonderful voice. And Lindsey Buckingham's home recordings that show up here are a virtual blueprint for the indie-rock home-recording scene that would flourish nearly 20 years later. While some records from this period seem campy and quaint in retrospect, TUSK still sounds terrific, thanks to those Dashut/Buckingham production values. But what's up with that marching band on the title track?
Recorded at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, California. Originally released on Warners Bros. (3350). Includes liner notes by Parke Puterbaugh.

Mojo (Publisher) (4/04, p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]he collection had some moments of shimmering beauty....TUSK's greatest worth is as an accurate and telling musical indication of where the band members' solo albums would go."

This album is one of the all time greats. It is probably the best album that this band put out.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 1 found this helpful. AN ECCENTRIC CLASSIC
"Tusk" aspired to be Fleetwood Mac's "White Album" and "Pet Sounds" rolled into one. They basically succeeded in reaching those goals, but a few of Lindsey Buckingham's overly experimental songs (including the "anti-single" title track)has forever doomed this record to be labeled as an "eccentric classic." Like the "White Album," it was a daring double record that allowed the three songwriters in the band to show off some of their best songs. It was not the usual seamless batch of songs, but it also illustrated how unique their individual talents were. But, more importantly, the incredible music/vocal arrangements and production values influenced by "Pet Sounds" meant that the band had made their best sounding record ever. While that seemed obvious at the time it was released, the re-mastered version makes it clearly evident.
What makes a classic album is the performances and not the sales figures. And, like the two records it aspired to, it delivered on that promise. The band is on the record as saying this was their favorite record, and it is easy to see/hear why. Like "Pet Sounds," this record was way ahead of it's time. Hopefully the re-mastered version will be discovered by enough people so that this record will finally receive it's due.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Tusk (1979)
There is too much filler songs on this album. This could have been like Rumours but I dont think enough songs were taken out of it. The songs that dont belong here are "Thats All For Everyone", "Not That Funny", and "Thats Enough For Me". Those songs really arent very good at all and make the album sound bad. The rest is stunning.

a classic made even better!
as a devout fan of FM...i'll buy anything the band puts out. however, the deluxe edition of Tusk is definitely my desert island album. the unheard-of-before-version of "Sara" makes it worth every penny.

Purchase Tusk CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Neil Young On The Beach CD (1974) Remastered
Tusk
 $9.19   
After working his way through loss and chaos on the brilliant TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT (recorded in 1973, but not released until 1975), Neil Young deftly exorcised any lingering demons with 1974's ON THE BEACH. The album opens with the saunter of the aptly titled "Walk On," followed by the utterly gorgeous, Wurlitzer-tinged "See the Sky about to Rain."
The set also features a trio of scathing songs--"Revolution Blues," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues"--that address issues important to Young, both social and personal. It is good to hear Young back with such bite and vitriol, especially after the broken desperation of TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT. But while ON THE BEACH is edgy and deeply felt, it also manages to sound liberating and relaxed, with glimmers of hope and humor peeking through the spare, evocative arrangements. Inexplicably unreleased on CD until 2003, ON THE BEACH is both ...
| | Fleetwood Mac Rumours CDs (1977) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Deluxe Edition
Tusk
$20.29
This deluxe edition of RUMOURS includes a bonus disc featuring outtakes, demos, and jam sessions.
Principally recorded at The Record Plant & Wally Heider Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California; Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida; Davlen Recording Studio, North Hollywood, California.
The reviewers tell us what to buy, but the public actually part with the cash. Surely 26 million people cannot be wrong, as original Mac guitarist Peter Green's creation became the prime example of AOR long after his departure. The inner strife and turmoil of the band is credited as having helped to make this many-headed beast into such a success. Keyboardist Christine McVie sparred with husband/bassist John, ...

| | Yes 90125 CD (2009) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Tusk
$6.39
When Jon Anderson rejoined Yes after DRAMA, he was inserting himself into an unusual situation. Keyboardist Geoff Downes and longtime guitarist Steve Howe had left to form Asia with prog rock vets John Wetton (King Crimson, Roxy Music etc.) and Carl Palmer (ELP). Chris Squire and Alan White brought original Yes keysman Tony Kaye back and recruited vibrant young Australian guitarist/vocalist/composer Trevor Rabin. The quartet had already begun writing and recording, but Anderson was able to insert himself into the proceedings with such ease that the new combination sounds completely natural on 90125.
Mostly, the band was concerned with trimming the musical fat to keep pace with the onslaught of the 1980s. Thus, tracks like "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "City of Love" are full of samples, ...

Also available in a 3-pack with FACE THE MUSIC and DISCOVERY.
1976's A NEW WORLD RECORD is both a classic of commercial '70s pop and an archetypal ELO album. From the outer-space synths and rich orchestrations that open the album to Jeff Lynne's meticulous production and Beatlesque melodies, A NEW WORLD RECORD is magnificent ear candy. Both ambitious enough ...

Devoted students of the 1970s school of heavy rock, the Australian trio Wolfmother unveiled its full-length debut in early 2006 to considerable buzz. Deftly walking the line between respectful homage and blatant mimicry, singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale sounds like Jack White channeling Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi--as opposed to Page and Plant--particularly on the stomping opener, ...
