IF YOU GO TO FLEETWOODMAC.COM THEY HAVE OTHE...UM... IF YOU GO TO FLEETWOODMAC.COM THEY HAVE OTHER OPTIONS BESIDES THE FULL ON DELUXE EDITION THAT DO NOT INCLUDE THE VINYL LP FOR WAY CHEAPER!!! NO OPTION WILL SATISFY EVERYONE NO MATTER WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE!!! I PLAN ON BUYING THE DELUXE EDITION SIMPLY TO HAVE IT IN MY COLLECTION OF (PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING AVAILABLE POST LINDSEY/STEVIE) JOINING!!! BUT ALL OF THIS REALLY DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY BECAUSE NOTHING COMPARES TO THE SILVER SPRINGS TRACK ON THE RUMOURS DVD-AUDIO VERSION IN 5.1 THAT SOUNDS AS IF STEVIE IS IN THE ROOM SINGING IT RIGHT TO YOU (INCREDIBLE)!!! AND I DISAGREE WITH ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IF THEY DO THEY NEED THEIR HEARING CHECKED IMO!!! I HAVE TWO COPIES AND THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO COME BY, AND IT WAS THE MAIN REASON I PURCHASED A NICE 5.1 SYSTEM WITH A DVD AUDIO PLAYER CAPABLE OF DOING IT JUSTICE!!! AND REALLY VINYL IS ONLY GREAT IF YOU HAVE A HIGH END TURNTABLE CAPABLE OF DOING IT JUSTICE!!! BUT WHEN I GO TO BUY IT I WON'T CARE AT THAT MOMENT BECAUSE I WILL GET THE DELUXE EDITION JUST TO HAVE IT ALL IN ONE PACKAGE!!!! TOO EACH THEIR OWN I GUESS!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-15038098736225214112013-02-23T19:02:42.946-06:002013-02-23T19:02:42.946-06:00Well, I must be the only one, but I think the new ...Well, I must be the only one, but I think the new Rumours 4 CD/DVD/Album package is for the most part very disappointing, especially for the price. <br /><br />The CD of the original album with Silver Springs added doesn’t work well because they put it at the end of the CD, so it is right after Gold Dust Woman. Putting these two Stevie songs together kind of diminishes them both. It would have been better to put Silver Springs in the place of Songbird, which was at the end of the original album side 1, and put Songbird at the end of the CD to close the album.<br /><br />The two outtake and demo CDs are fun to listen to, but not something you will play over and over. They will get played a few times and then never again. And a lot of them are already floating around on YouTube. <br /><br />The live CD of the Rumours tour is pretty good, especially the live versions of Dreams and Don’t Stop, since those songs that were on the 1980 album Fleetwood Mac Live, from the Tusk tour, were both actually recorded at sound checks, and not live in concert. Also The Chain, Gold Dust Woman, Songbird, World Turning and Oh Daddy are good, since they were not on the 1980 live album. But overall the sound mixes don’t have very much bottom end and the vocals are not leveled out very well. These mixes sound very poorly done and make you realize how well the Fleetwood Mac Live album was mixed. And that kind of ruins otherwise good performances. Not one song sounds as good as the 1980 live album, and that‘s because of the sloppy mixes not because of the way the band was playing. And they should have included a few more songs on this live CD. It clocks in at only 55 minutes and surely they could have added a few more live songs to make it worth the price. Most noticeably missing are live Rumours tour versions of You Make Loving Fun, Landslide, Over My Head, Say You Love Me, I’m So Afraid and Second Hand News. And they did perform Silver Springs a few times on the Rumours tour, again one great version is on YouTube. That would have really been a terrific inclusion on this CD.<br /><br />Perhaps the most disappointing thing here is the DVD of the Rosebud film. Most of it has also been on YouTube for years, and since Fleetwood Mac never put out a DVD of their videos ever, this would have been the chance to do so. The DVD is only about 30 minutes, and you don‘t even get to hear most of World Turning. The end piece of that song which opens this film was shot live in concert in Santa Barbara at a stadium show in 1976 and also filmed then was a fantastic version of Over My Head. That and the full World Turning should have been on this DVD. And they should have added the wonderful taped studio version of Dreams. They also should have included the videos of Tusk, Sara, Hold Me, Gypsy, Big Love, Seven Wonders, Little Lies, As Long As You Follow, Save Me, Skies The Limit, Silver Springs and Landslide. It would have made this DVD really special, and again, worth the money.<br /><br />As for the new album itself, I, like most people don’t even own a record player anymore, so this is a total waste. I know albums are making sort of a comeback, but that is only to a very small audience, so this should have been sold separately to those who want it. Most people will never play it. <br /><br />Fleetwood Mac doesn’t seem to completely understand what their fan base wants and sometimes they inadvertently insult us by appearing to not care and make us pay for what we don’t want and not give us what we do.<br /><br />The money spent on this package would have been better used to buy a ticket to see them more than once on their upcoming tour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-17736022388016494472013-02-23T14:16:50.521-06:002013-02-23T14:16:50.521-06:00Excellent review via Puluche.
