2025 one of the most important years ever for Fleetwood Mac collectors

 

Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham Reissues of 2025 – A Landmark Year for Collectors (and What’s Coming in 2026)

2025 is shaping up to be one of the most important years ever for Fleetwood Mac collectors. Between anniversary editions, Rhino Reserve audiophile pressings, Start Your Ear Off Right exclusives, Mobile Fidelity half-speed masterings, Atmos Blu-Rays, and multiple retailer-exclusive colored vinyl pressings, fans are experiencing an unprecedented wave of archival activity. And with several high-profile titles already confirmed for 2026, the momentum shows no sign of slowing.

Below is a deep dive into each 2025 reissue, including background on the original album, what makes the new pressing special, and how each title fits into the broader resurgence of Fleetwood Mac’s catalog. Following that is a look ahead at the already-announced reissues for 2026.

FLEETWOOD MAC – 2025 REISSUES

---

Fleetwood Mac – Live at the Record Plant 1974

Rhino Start Your Ear Off Right – 2-LP Red Vinyl

Released: January 2025

Original recording date: December 15, 1974

Before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band, Fleetwood Mac’s transitional early ’70s lineup delivered one of its tightest live performances at Sausalito’s Record Plant. Featuring Bob Welch, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie, this set captures the melodic, R&B-tinged direction the band was forging on Heroes Are Hard to Find.

The 2025 2-LP red vinyl edition, part of Rhino’s Start Your Ear Off Right campaign, marks the first time the concert receives a wide vinyl release. The pressing features improved mastering sourced from the original broadcast tapes, expanded liner notes, and upgraded packaging, a major upgrade from earlier bootleg-quality versions.

Fleetwood Mac – Mirage

Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab 45RPM 2-LP

Released: February 2025

Original album release: June 18, 1982

Fleetwood Mac’s early-’80s soft-rock masterpiece gets the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab treatment in 2025. Originally released in 1982, Mirage brought the band back to a warmer, more California-pop sound after the ambitious Tusk.

MoFi’s 45RPM 2-LP edition offers greater sonic clarity, wider stereo imaging, and deeper low-end detail than any previous vinyl release. Cut from MoFi’s proprietary mastering chain, this edition is specifically designed to provide ultra-quiet surfaces, more dynamic range, and enhanced texture, especially noticeable on “Gypsy,” “Hold Me,” and “Love in Store.”

Fleetwood Mac – 1975–1987 Boxed Set

6-LP Crystal Clear Vinyl + Bonus 12-inch Single

Released: March 2025

This massive anthology compiles the band’s most commercially dominant era — from the 1975 self-titled album through Tango in the Night. Each LP comes pressed on crystal-clear vinyl, and the accompanying 12-inch single of "Go Your Own Way" and "Silver Springs" included in a limited edition was a cool inclusion.

Compared to past box sets, this edition uniquely focuses on audiophile transparency and limited-edition presentation, making it one of the most collectible package releases of the decade.

Fleetwood Mac – Fleetwood Mac (1975)

Record Store Day Picture Disc – 1-LP

Released: April 2025

Original album release: July 11, 1975

The album that introduced Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham gets the Record Store Day picture disc treatment. While this pressing focuses more on visual collectibility than audiophile quality, the artwork recreates the iconic 1975 cover on a glossy full-image disc.

This edition is distinct from the later August 2025 Rhino High Fidelity release, making 2025 remarkably rich in versions of the breakthrough album.

Fleetwood Mac – Greatest Hits (1988)

Walmart Exclusive Translucent Forest Green 1LP

Released: May 2025

Original album release: November 15, 1988

A staple of any classic-rock collection, Greatest Hits compiles the band’s biggest singles from the mid-’70s through Tango. This Walmart exclusive introduces a translucent forest-green pressing, celebrating the album’s enduring popularity—especially remarkable as it continues to chart weekly worldwide.

The packaging mirrors the original release but with updated hype stickers and a collector-focused color variant.

Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac

50th Anniversary Rhino High Fidelity 1-LP + 2 Bonus Singles

Released: August 8, 2025

For the album’s 50th anniversary, Rhino’s prestigious “High Fidelity” line delivers its highest-grade vinyl edition yet — AAA mastering, tip-on jacket, and a meticulously recreated analog soundstage. The two bonus 7-inch singles (limited edition) include faithful reproductions of the original U.S. releases for “Over My Head” and “Rhiannon,” offering a premium archival experience.

Dolby Atmos Blu-Ray Edition

Released: August 8,2025

Alongside the vinyl release, the Fleetwood Mac Atmos Blu-Ray brings immersive audio to the album for the first time. With swirling harmonies, isolated channels, and a full spatial remix, this edition gives fans a new way to experience the landmark 1975 LP.

Fleetwood Mac – Tango in the Night

Rhino Reserve 180g 1-LP

Released: August 2025

Original album release: April 13, 1987

One of the band’s most lushly produced albums returns on 180g audiophile vinyl through the limited-edition Rhino Reserve line. The lacquers on this version were cut from original analog masters (for the first time) by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed on premium vinyl with upgraded jackets and improved mastering. This 2025 reissue brings renewed clarity to the album’s shimmering digital-era production. 

Fleetwood Mac – Bare Trees

Rhino Reserve / Rhino Rocktober 180g 1-LP

Released: October 2025

Original album release: March 1, 1972

The cult-favorite Bob Welch-era classic receives its most elegant reissue yet for Rocktober. Bare Trees sounds warmer and more atmospheric thanks to improved analog-sourced mastering, restoring the dreamy textures of “Sentimental Lady,” “Spare Me a Little,” and “Future Games.”

This edition is pressed on 180g vinyl with premium packaging, distinguishing it from earlier standard reissues.

Fleetwood Mac – Tusk

Rhino Rocktober – Cobalt Blue 2-LP

Released: October 2025

Original album release: October 12, 1979

The band’s wildly experimental double album returns in a bold cobalt-blue vinyl pressing. Though sourced from the same recent remasters as the 2015 deluxe editions, this variant is notable for its unique colorway and collectible presentation, appealing to vinyl completists, especially given Tusk’s growing critical appreciation.

Fleetwood Mac – Live 1975

Record Store Day Black Friday – 2-LP

Released: November 28, 2025

Recorded during the early days of the Buckingham–Nicks era, Live 1975 captures the band shortly after the breakout success of the 1975 album. This new RSD edition is mastered for vinyl, pressed on heavyweight LPs, and features expanded artwork.

It represents the earliest officially released full-length concert from the classic lineup.

Fleetwood Mac – Greatest Hits (1988)

Target Exclusive Translucent Purple 1-LP

Released: December 2025

Closing out the year is another color variant of Greatest Hits, this time in translucent purple, exclusive to Target. Collectors who enjoy variant-hunting will appreciate the contrast between this edition and the Walmart green pressing from earlier in the year.

WHAT’S COMING IN 2026 – Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac – Future Games

Rhino Reserve / Start Your Ear Off Right

Release Date: January 2, 2026

Original album release: September 3, 1971

Following MoFi’s Bella Donna expansion, the 1975 album will receive both the ultra-premium One-Step treatment and a new hybrid SACD edition. These will likely become the most sonically ambitious versions of the album ever issued, offering collectors multiple formats for the iconic LP.

---

Stevie Nicks – Bella Donna

Rhino High Fidelity 180g 1-LP

Release date: May, 2025

Original album release: July 27, 1981

Stevie Nicks’ solo debut—already considered one of the great albums of the early ’80s receives the RHF audiophile upgrade with all-analog mastering and premium print reproduction. The soundstage is warmer and more dynamic than typical reissues, highlighting the richness of her vocals and the layered production.

Stevie Nicks – Bella Donna

Mobile Fidelity Ultradisc One-Step 45RPM 2-LP and

Mobile Fidelity Hybrid SACD

Release date: November 2025

Release Dates: TBA

2026 brings a major celebration for Rock a Little, which turns 40. Expect high-quality MoFi remastering, expanded artwork, and the first ultra-audiophile editions of this mid-’80s synth-driven classic.

Given the historical success of I Can’t Wait, and Talk to Me, these reissues will likely rank among the most anticipated Stevie Nicks releases of the decade.

Lindsey Buckingham – 20th Century Lindsey

Rhino Start Your Ear Off Right – 4-LP Box Set

Released: January 2025

Original boxset release date: June 14, 2024

Lindsey Buckingham’s 20th Century Lindsey 4-LP box set joins Rhino’s Start Your Ear Off Right 2025 campaign as one of the most anticipated solo projects from any Fleetwood Mac member. This collection spotlights Buckingham’s groundbreaking studio work from his prime creative years — stretching across his late-’70s, ’80s, and ’90s output — and showcases the evolution of his distinctive production style, guitar innovations, and experimental pop sensibilities.

20th Century Lindsey marks the first time his early solo era has been curated into a unified vinyl anthology. Each LP is pressed on high-quality vinyl with upgraded remastering designed to highlight the crisp fingerpicking, layered harmonies, and percussive textures that define his signature sound.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Between Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, and Lindsey Buckingham 2025 is arguably the most reissue-heavy year fans have ever seen. With top-tier audiophile labels, exclusive retail variants, anniversary editions, and long-lost live shows unearthed and restored, collectors have dozens of new pressing options and even more coming in 2026.

Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours is somehow still one of the most popular albums in the world

 The Mysterious, Enduring Appeal of 

Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours

On Spotify, it has more streams than any Beatles album, Nirvana’s Nevermind, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, or anything else from the 20th century. In 2024, it was the year’s biggest-selling rock album, old or new. (Yes, really.) What gives?

By 

Alan Light

Esquire

Almost fifty years after its release in 1977, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours is somehow still one of the most popular albums in the world. Created in a cauldron of intraband romantic turmoil and fueled by voracious drug intake, this very week, it sits at Number 19 on Billboard’s album chart. In 2023, Rumours was the most streamed album of the twentieth century on Spotify—more than any Beatles album, more than Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite for Destruction, more than Nirvana’s Nevermind or Dr. Dre’s The Chronic or anything else. In 2024, it was the year’s biggest-selling rock album, old or new.

These numbers are being powered not by the Boomers and older Gen-Xers who grew up with the album in real time and made it the seventh-best-selling album in US history, but by younger generations. There is something in the music—or, maybe more precisely, in the experience of Rumours that separates it from the pack, even from the most elite. But does that allure revolve around the sound, the emotion, the mythology, or some combination of all its elements? Why does one album survive and even thrive when others—even those that felt much more influential at their peak—inevitably become dated?

To put it simply, why do kids like this old-ass album?

Curious to better understand this cultural marvel, for my new book Don’t Stop: Why We (Still) Love Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, I spoke to dozens of post-millennials. One thing that almost all of them wanted to establish was that while they might have initially heard the record through their parents, or even their grandparents, the relationship they had with Rumours was entirely their own. Many echoed the idea that they were first exposed to these songs in their youth but then went through a process of rediscovering the album and relating to it for themselves, creating their own meanings for the record.

Others pointed to the various appearances by Rumours in their own popular culture as their way into the album. Music publicist Lydia Krumper (born 2000) notes a convergence of Mac references in the mid-2010s. “In 2014, Stevie Nicks was on American Horror Story,” she says. “Glee had an all-Rumours episode. I was also a big One Direction fan, and Harry Styles is a big Fleetwood Mac fan. Many things for my age group were coming out at the time when I got into it.”

A veteran band with waning prospects, personnel churn, and management issues. A largely unknown duo whose eponymous debut flopped. An impromptu meeting in a supermarket that led to a fact-finding trip to Sound City Studios. The backstory behind Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled album is nearly as incredible as the music on the 1975 recording — a blockbuster that altered pop-rock history, and found newcomers Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks permanently changing the profile and popularity of the British ensemble.

Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing in California, and strictly limited to 7,500 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set of the nine-times-platinum effort plays with reference-level transparency, dynamics, and detail. Benefitting from stellar groove definition, an ultra-low noise floor, and dead-quiet surfaces, this vinyl edition captures what went down in the California studio with arresting presence, tube-like warmth, and sumptuous tonality.

Honoring the striking elements that make Fleetwood Mac a generations-spanning favorite, the industry-leading presentation of this UD1S version confirms the reissue's definitive standing. Housed in a gorgeous slipcase, it features premium foil-stamped jackets and faithful-to-the-original graphics. This keepsake is for listeners who want to immerse themselves in everything involved with the album, including the recognizable cover art positioning Mick Fleetwood and John McVie before a doorway — as well as a crystal ball showing their reflection. The hand-drawn script depicting the band's name is now inextricably associated with the quintet’s “White Album” and identity.

Shepherded by producer Keith Olsen, Fleetwood Mac used its studio time to cultivate and establish intra-band roles. The innate chemistry among the five musicians can be heard here in stunning clarity, the taut albeit flexible rhythms distinguished with palpable grip, the blended vocals and airy harmonies benefitting from seemingly unlimited frequency extension. The thrilling results speak to the band’s bond as well as healthy tension that led to recordings that more than five decades later remain revered for their exceptional realism, openness, textures, imaging, and soundstaging. And that says nothing about the freshness of the songs themselves.

Six of those tunes were written or co-written by Buckingham or Nicks, who lent the band — reeling from the departure of guitarist Bob Welch — a diversity, soulfulness, and breadth it lacked in the past. Then again, the romantically involved partners weren’t exactly burning up the charts on their own. Their Buckingham Nicks LP was largely ignored upon release and found the twosome questioning their futures. But fate has a weird way of operating, and rather than recruiting another six-string blues virtuoso into the mix, Fleetwood Mac called an audible. 

Prompted to visit Sound City Studios after telling someone in a grocery store he needed a place to record Fleetwood Mac’s tenth album, Fleetwood heard Buckingham Nicks played back by Olsen as a demonstration of the studio’s capabilities. Unable to forget what he heard, the drummer soon invited Buckingham to join his band. Displaying his now-famous reluctance to cede any creative control, Buckingham initially hedged before accepting on one condition: He and Nicks came as a package. 

That agreement stands as one of the most significant career-altering moves any band ever made. Suffice it to say Nicks’ Plan B — “we can always quit,” she reasoned to Buckingham — stayed on the backburner. After rehearsing together for just ten days and sussing out potential roles, the new iteration of Fleetwood Mac entered Sound City in January 1975 and laid down the tracks for the showstopper Rolling Stone ranks as the 182nd Greatest Album of All Time.

In many ways, Fleetwood Mac got far more than they bargained for in taking on the American duo. Buckingham and Nicks arrived loaded for bear. “Monday Morning,” “Rhiannon,” and “I’m So Afraid” had already been workshopped and penciled in for a second Buckingham-Nicks record. “Crystal” was re-purposed and re-imagined after its original inclusion of Buckingham Nicks. 

Nicks also brought another recently penned song to the sessions, a beautiful gem none other than “Landslide.” McVie later admitted that the quality of material triggered a competitive spirit within her and inspired her to take her own songwriting to another level. “Warm Ways,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Over My Head” underscore that determination. Ditto her collaboration with Buckingham on “World Turning.” 

Constituting the old Fleetwood Mac in name only, Fleetwood Mac is the sound and style of an entirely new entity, a rebirth, and a reward for perseverance and a little bit of chance fortune. Above all, however, the album — which peaked at No. 1 on Billboard more than a year after its street date — towers as a testament to then-novel combinations of hook-laden power pop, mystical folk, cool R&B, melodic rock ‘n’ roll and a wondrous balance of perfection and pragmatism, delicate and deliberate, mellow and maverick.

Indeed, from the ocean-swept breeziness of the opening “Monday Morning” through the optimistic vibes of the building “Over My Head” to the stacked structure of the closing “I’m So Afraid,” Fleetwood Mac contains not a single dull moment or wasted note. In short order, the band would attain even greater commercial success with the subsequent Rumours. Yet the restless energy, innovative spirit, breath-of-fresh-air newness, and across-the-board fantastic performances of Fleetwood Mac would never be surpassed.

Fleetwood Mac’s Enduring Magic: “The Chain” Reconnects as Dreams Rise Once Again

Nearly fifty years after Rumours first rewired the landscape of pop and rock, Fleetwood Mac continue to defy time, trend, and turnover. This week marks a new milestone in the UK: “The Chain” has entered the Top 75 for the first time, Fleetwood Mac’s first NEW entry in the top 75 in 35 years, an extraordinary feat for a song whose heartbeat has never stopped echoing through British culture.

UNITED KINGDOM 

The Chain Pulls the Band Back into the Top 75

Fleetwood Mac score their 26th Top 75 hit as “The Chain” jumps 79-68 on the Official Singles Chart, surpassing its previous July peak of No. 76 and clocking 6,189 ACR units. That may sound like a statistic, but in context, it’s a revival story: a four-minute masterclass in tension, heartbreak, and unity that has now out-raced time itself.

“The Chain” joins Fleetwood Mac’s “big four” UK digital-era juggernauts — “Everywhere” (3.94 million units), “Dreams” (3.79 million), and “Go Your Own Way” (3.27 million), each now comfortably six-times-platinum in the streaming age. This renewed climb underscores how the streaming generation has adopted Rumours not as a relic, but as a living, breathing record.

Meanwhile, “Dreams,” Fleetwood Mac’s most enduring single on the UK charts, refuses to rest. The song climbs again this week, from No. 52 to No. 49, now logging an astonishing cumulative 52 weeks in the UK Top 75, a full year’s worth of modern-era visibility for a song that first peaked at No. 24 almost half a century ago. “Everywhere” remains a quiet constant at No. 83, part of a trio of Mac classics still soundtracking life in 2025 Britain.

On albums, 50 Years – Don’t Stop remains the band’s most consistent seller, holding firm at No. 7 with 7,495 sales, while Rumours edges up a notch to No. 18 on the Top 100 and continues to dominate on other charts: No. 6 on streaming albums, No. 24 on physical and sales lists, and No. 15 on vinyl. Nearly five decades on, Rumours sells like a record that has just come out.

And not to be overlooked, the collaboration between Miley Cyrus and Lindsey Buckingham with Mick Fleetwood on drums, “Secrets,” continues to show surprising longevity across download and sales charts, peaking at No. 13 on downloads and No. 16 on sales earlier this month. While its one-week cameo in the main Top 100 (peaking No. 86 on Sept 27) was brief, its cross-generational pairing feels emblematic of the Mac’s ongoing relevance to pop’s younger vanguard.

Buckingham Nicks, now in its fourth UK chart week following its long-awaited reissue, continues to impress. It ranks No. 32 on Album Sales, No. 28 on Physical Albums, and holds No. 7 on the Americana Chart, proving that the 1973 cult classic has finally found its audience half a century later.

UNITED STATES 

Rumours Reigns, The Chain Returns, and Nostalgia Still Streams

Across the Atlantic, Rumours continues its remarkable streak on the Billboard 200, climbing to No. 20. Greatest Hits holds steady at No. 105. On genre-specific tallies, the Mac remain unrivalled: No. 3 on Rock Albums and No. 4 on Rock & Alternative Albums, underscoring the LP’s unique status as both a pop and a rock institution.

Streaming tells an equally compelling story. “Dreams,” still riding residual waves from its 2020 viral resurgence, rises again on the Billboard Global 200 to No. 57 and reappears on the Global Excl. US chart at No. 116. More tellingly, “The Chain” makes a re-entry at No. 154 – suggesting a synchronized global spark likely tied to renewed playlist placement, social media traction, or cross-media exposure. Within the U.S., “Dreams” ranks No. 31 on the Top 50 Streaming Songs, while Rumours keeps its iron grip on the Top 50 Streaming Albums (No. 26) and Vinyl Albums (No. 11).

Sales charts echo that vitality: Rumours (No. 30 on Top Album Sales) remains one of the few ’70s albums selling enough pure copies to rank among 2025’s new releases. Meanwhile, Buckingham Nicks continues its U.S. momentum in week three at No. 20 on Album Sales and No. 9 on Indie Store Albums, a remarkable achievement for a title that spent five decades out of print.

In Canada, Rumours re-enters at No. 15, while Greatest Hits slides to No. 91, proving the Mac’s cross-border appeal remains as strong as ever.

THE REST OF THE WORLD 

Rumours Rolls On, The Chain Echoes Across Europe

From Dublin to Düsseldorf, Fleetwood Mac continues to show a remarkable global footprint.

In Ireland, 50 Years – Don’t Stop rises to No. 6, while Rumours holds at No. 16. Singles activity remains robust too: “Dreams” climbs to No. 48, “The Chain” to No. 63, and the beloved B-side “Silver Springs” edges up to No. 76, a rare sight for a track that never had a major single release.

Across continental Europe, the pattern is clear — Rumours never truly leaves the charts, it simply pauses before resuming its march.

Netherlands: No. 8 for Rumours, No. 97 for Tango in the Night – demonstrating multi-album endurance.

• Germany: Rumours rockets from No. 99 to No. 67 on the main chart and re-enters the Rock/Metal albums list at No. 14.
• Austria: steady at No. 54.
• Norway: No. 18.
• Sweden: Rumours rises to No. 31 and its singles gain momentum – “Dreams” up to No. 56 and “Everywhere” re-enters at No. 94.
• Croatia: a surprise re-entry for the self-titled 1975 Fleetwood Mac album at No. 37, showing even the deep catalog finds new life in 2025’s rediscovery era.

A Legacy That Refuses to Fade

What we’re seeing is more than nostalgia. Fleetwood Mac’s catalog is performing with the vitality of a current act a testament to the universal themes of Rumours, the multi-generational pull of Stevie Nicks’ and Lindsey Buckingham’s songwriting, and the band’s continued pop-culture presence. From viral moments to vinyl collectors, Fleetwood Mac is not merely maintaining relevance; they’re expanding it.

Nearly half a century on, the message remains unchanged: Never break the chain.
