I bought the previous album, “Fleetwood Mac” shortly after it came out (yea I’m old), and I loved it. It is still one of my favorite albums. I have to say I was a little disappointed when I first listened to “Rumours”. If you read the liner notes, they cut the “Fleetwood Mac” album in three months. “Rumours” took much longer, mainly because they didn’t like the first take and stripped all the instruments but the drum tracks and started over. They did so much overdubbing that the master tapes were beginning to wear out. That’s probably why I didn’t like the album, too much “studio”. What’s included here on the second disk is virtually the entire album repeated and described as “Roughs and Outtakes”. I’m assuming these are the first takes that were rejected. Personally, for the most part, I like them better. They show more of the bands raw talent as musicians and song writers. It reminds me of the first album that I love so much. These five members of Fleetwood Mac blend perfectly. I never really cared much for any other combination. The band without any one of these five is just not complete. I wish they would have recognized and respected that and been able to produce more material. Bands that achieve that sort of magical quality are rare indeed.

 Smooth Grooves
What can you say about this band that hasn't already been said. I've been waiting a long time for the "Mac" remasters to come out and now the time is here. Plus, you get the added bonus tracks which make for even more cool listening.

 Nice to have
I love Rumours, and i was excited to hear a special edition was coming out. There are enough extra songs to make it worth the purchase price, but it's not anything spectacular or revelatory. Why they stuck the single "Silver Springs" in the middle of the original album i'll never know.

 Great repackage of a classic
The liner notes alone are worth the price of this CD. If you are a Fleetwood Mac fan this is a must have for your collection. The extra cd is a wonderful insight into how these classic songs became the hits that they are!
