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

A long-awaited audiophile reissue of one of the band’s most atmospheric early-’70s albums. Expect upgraded mastering, deluxe packaging, and special variant vinyl as part of SYEOR 2026.

With Future Games celebrating renewed critical interest, this release is poised to be one of the standout early-’70s reissues of the new year.



Fleetwood Mac – Fleetwood Mac (1975)
Mobile Fidelity 45RPM Ultradisc One-Step 2-LP and 
Mobile Fidelity Hybrid SACD


Release Dates: TBA

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 – 2025 REISSUES




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

This 2-LP 45RPM One-Step edition represents MoFi’s highest-tier vinyl format, offering extreme clarity, superior dynamics, and minimal noise floor. It’s designed for audiophiles who want the definitive vinyl experience.

Mobile Fidelity Hybrid SACD – November 2025

The SACD edition is ideal for digital collectors, offering both high-resolution and Redbook layers with MoFi audiophile mastering.


STEVIE NICKS – WHAT’S COMING IN 2026



Stevie Nicks – Rock a Little (1985)
40th Anniversary Editions
Mobile Fidelity 180g 45RPM 2-LP
Mobile Fidelity Hybrid SACD



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.








What's on Stevie Nicks' Playlist? Night Traveler, The Midnight, The White Kites

Stevie Nicks Listened to 'Younger' Artists During Her Shoulder Fracture Recovery. Here Are Some of Her Favorites

The rock icon reveals some of the bands in her current rotation — and how she discovers them — in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE


By Bailey Richards

People


NEED TO KNOW

  • Stevie Nicks resumed touring in October after postponing several shows earlier this year to heal from a shoulder fracture
  • The rock icon names some of the artists she listened to while recovering and reveals how she discovers them in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE
  • Nicks also talks Buckingham Nicks, sharing what it was like to listen back decades after its initial release


What’s playing on Stevie Nicks’ speakers? Well, a lot of things are, especially when she is using “the power of music” to heal.


When the legendary singer-songwriter, 77, stepped away from the stage temporarily earlier this year to heal from a shoulder fracture, music filled her ears nonstop, she tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview.


Giving a rare glimpse into her current music rotation while speaking about her new Bella Donna Barbie doll, the hitmaker includes an indie band that opened for her at a recent show and reveals the process she uses to discover new artists.


“I'm all over the internet. I listen to a lot of current bands,” Nicks says, listing The Midnight, The White Kites and Night Traveler as some of the groups she enjoys of late.


“And all through my recovery, I've listened,” the star continues. “That's the one thing that I have done physically through this recovery, is to really listen to all this younger music that I love. And when I wasn't feeling well at all, it just carried me on a cloud through this whole thing.”


So it was full circle when one of the bands that "carried" her, Night Traveler, opened for the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman at her Phoenix concert on Oct. 7 — one of her first shows back post-injury.


The Texas-based rock duo later shared an Instagram post reflecting on the monumental gig.


"We thought opening for [Stevie Nicks] would be the coolest musical moment of our lives,” the band wrote in the caption. “Turns out the kindness and sincerity of her spirit that she shared with us will be the thing we never forget.”


Regardless of what she’s listening to, Nicks tells PEOPLE, “All my tapes are really curated by me.” Still, she explains, “I'm not high-tech at all.”


In the past five or six years, the "Silver Springs" singer has started using radio functions on platforms like Pandora and Spotify.


“I push the thumbs-up. Love this. Don't love that. Love this,” she explains. Then, Nicks makes a list, which becomes a tape, which becomes a source of healing and inspiration during difficult times.


“Just to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling is not my idea of a good time,” the rock icon explains. “That kept me dancing to a point, just kind of Snoop Dogging around my place, because you can be pretty beat-up, and you can still dance if inspirational music comes on.”


“The power of music to heal you is amazing,” adds Nicks. “If I didn't have those tapes, I don't know what I would have done.”


Another piece of music Nicks has been listening to lately? Buckingham Nicks, the eponymous 1973 album she recorded with her ex and former bandmate Lindsey Buckingham, before they brought their talents to Fleetwood Mac.


The former rock duo re-released the project in September, prompting Nicks to listen for the first time in a long while, she tells PEOPLE.


"If you can ever just sit in a big room with somebody who has a great stereo or whatever you want to call it, great speakers, or lives next door to a studio, just go in and listen to it, because you'll hear stuff in Buckingham Nicks that none of us have heard since that record came out,” the star explains, “because it was only pressed at one time and went out that one time.”


Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.


Nicks says she has even “had some people go, ‘I put it on in my house stereo that goes all over, and I walk all over the house and just listen to it, and it's like I'm in a huge studio listening to you guys make this record.’ ”


“I don't even have a copy, so it's like, when you listen to this, it's like you're in the studio with us,” she adds. “And there are parts, vocal parts, music parts that I haven't heard in so long that I'm, like, ‘Wow. I would join that band.’ ”

Stevie Nicks, with Abby Anderson, at TD Garden, Boston, Nov. 24, 2025.

From Stevie Nicks, a charming blend of solo spells and Fleetwood Mac at TD Garden

Stevie Nicks is never beating the witch allegations.


Despite decades-enduring rumors, rock’s most mystical singer-songwriter has long disavowed spell-casting and similar activities (her quote “I just wear black because it makes me look thinner, you idiots” comes to mind). But there’s a reason the word “witch” trails behind her as closely as one of her sequined shawls, and it was on full display Monday night at TD Garden during her latest solo tour.


These days, the live performance rubric for legacy rock acts measures just how much an artist can still rattle the rafters. But Fleetwood Mac favorites like “Rhiannon” and “Landslide” do not a rager make, and Nicks’s prowess at age 77 instead manifested in her ability to keep Boston fans still but thoroughly spellbound, hanging on her every twirl.


Even when Nicks added an aggressive edge to her delivery, silvery vocals turning stony on songs like “Stand Back” and “Edge of Seventeen,” the crowd remained eerily rapt in lieu of any standard “rocking out.” Her mic stand, garlanded with beads and ribbons, and a steady rotation of vintage shawls only amplified her reputation.


The Boston date of Nicks’s solo tour was originally scheduled for August, but a shoulder fracture forced her to postpone a slew of performances, a debacle she addressed early in the set.


“It isn’t like it doesn’t hurt, but at least I can do it,” Nicks said with a wink after miming a few physical therapy exercises.


Throughout the evening, the singer’s demeanor was one of gratitude and pure pep, eagerly conjuring career anecdotes like the origin story of her Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers collaboration, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.” Later, a cover of Petty’s tune “Free Fallin’” slated into the set with ease, a testament to Nicks’s cohesive selection of solo songs for the tour, all culled from her early albums “Bella Donna” and “The Wild Heart.” (The lone outlier was her politically charged tempest “The Lighthouse,” which she released as a standalone single last year).


But Nicks’s finest hat trick was proving her enduring appeal as Stevie Nicks, the all-around musician, versus Stevie Nicks, a singer from Fleetwood Mac. Unlike other solo tours of rock icons — say, John Fogerty’s recent date at MGM Music Hall at Fenway — Nicks’s own songs complemented the Fleetwood Mac material instead of competing with it. The instantly recognizable opening riffs of “Edge of Seventeen” and “Gold Dust Woman” were met with equal enthusiasm from the crowd, while her 1981 song “Outside the Rain” melted into the heartbeat-like bass of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” as if they were companion pieces.


There’s no finale like “Landslide” to knock loose a few tears, and during Nicks’s encore, her vocals twinkled like those fabled snow-covered hills while a slideshow displayed photos of her late Fleetwood Mac bandmate, Christine McVie.


The wistful ballad debuted on Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled album from 1975 ― the same album that helped weave Nicks into the fabric of the band and catapulted them to lasting stardom. Fifty years later, the song and Nicks seem somehow riper and more poignant than ever.


The work of a witch or not, that’s just magic.






Review & setlist: Stevie Nicks wraps TD Garden in friendship — and iconic capes

"I just want you to know that you live in a very, very, very attractive city. However, it is a very, very, very cold city."

Stevie Nicks, with Abby Anderson, at TD Garden, Boston, Nov. 24, 2025.


Stevie Nicks fans were jubilant when the icon finally took the stage at TD Garden on Monday night, after a fractured shoulder forced her to postpone her scheduled Aug. 12 show.


The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning singer, 77, kicked off Thanksgiving week in Boston with beloved hits and inside stories from her illustrious career. Nicks is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who, as a solo artist and member of Fleetwood Mac, has collectively sold more than 220 million albums.


But even rock ‘n’ roll queens get injured. And she wasted no time addressing the reason for her postponement before the night’s festivities began.


“I’m very glad to be here. Me and my shoulder are here. Don’t ever ever trip and break your shoulder because it is not a good thing,” Nicks said.


Shoulder aside, Nicks’ signature raspy voice was on point. And so were her signature capes — velvety, sparkly, fringy — and all the originals from her albums and videos, she pointed out. Each time she emerged in a new one, the crowd went wild.


Despite the injury, Nicks determinedly moved about the stage throughout the night, even shimmying and twirling at points. Upon the conclusion of “Gold Dust Woman,” she turned her back to the audience while stretching her caped arms out and flapping the material slowly like a majestic bird.


It was moments like that when Nicks seemed ethereal. Yet, she was also down to earth through much of the evening, chatting about her awe when meeting Tom Petty, and even demonstrating the physical therapy exercises she’s been doing to rehab her shoulder (to a chuckling audience).


She also talked about Boston.


“I have to say, driving to the show tonight and driving through the streets of your city, the city is really a very beautiful city,” Nicks said after the opening song (a cover of “Not Fade Away” by Buddy Holly and the Crickets). “I’m sure you know that, but for me, I’m like, ‘It’s so beautiful, this whole city.’ So I just want you to know that you live in a very, very, very attractive city. However, it is a very, very, very cold city.”


The multi-generational packed house, with women dressed in Stevie-inspired attire — velvet, lace, full skirts, shawls, and fringe vests — laughed at the Boston weather reference. As for Nicks, she wore a black velvet and ruffly dress with high black boots (no heel anymore, she said, as she’s too old for that now).


Nicks hasn’t released a solo album of new material since 2011’s “In Your Dreams.” But the audience was more than ready for a trip down memory lane as Nicks sang songs like “Stand Back” and “Edge of Seventeen” from her ’80s albums “The Wild Heart” and “Bella Donna,” as well as Fleetwood Mac classics like “Dreams,” “Gypsy,” and “Rhiannon.” Her voice was strong through all of them.


The newest song she sang is “The Lighthouse,” released digitally to streaming services in September 2024, a powerful and rallying cry for women’s rights that she premiered on “Saturday Night Live” last year. As she sang, the large screen behind her portrayed a lighthouse shining in the dark while a turbulent storm raged.


Nicks shared that she went to England to mix the song at Abbey Road and simultaneously practiced with Harry Styles in the next recording studio. The two were singing together at the BST Hyde Park concert series in July 2024 to commemorate Nicks’s close friend and bandmate Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022.


Nicks is clearly all about honoring her friends, and friendship was a common theme throughout the night.


Nicks paid tribute to McVie in the night’s final song, “Landslide,” while photos of the longtime pals ran like a digital scrapbook behind her. Another decades-long friend, Tom Petty, who passed away in 2017, was honored in the same way. In fact, Petty’s song, “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” signaled her arrival to the stage for the evening.


Nicks told the story of how her hit song with Petty, “Stop Dragging My Heart Around,” off her 1981 debut solo album “Bella Donna,” came to be. She said her producer Jimmy Iovine told her she didn’t have a single when the “Bella Donna” album was finished.


“There is nothing that anybody can ever say at the beginning of your solo career that can be worse than that, because writing a single is just not that easy,” she said.


Iovine then hooked her up with Petty, who said he had a song and even offered to sing it with her. Nicks was thrilled, and said she remembers how she “dressed to the nines” when meeting Petty. Her fans, familiar with her fashion sense, got a big chuckle out of that.


“Thank you, Tom,” she said, before launching into an energetic “Stop Dragging my Heart Around” with Waddy Wachtel, her guitarist and music director of 40 years, singing Petty’s part.


Nicks closed out the show with more thoughts on friendship. She said she recently saw “Wicked: For Good” with Wachtel.


“I can honestly tell you that Waddy and I cried all the way through it,” she said. “We did, because it’s all about friendship and how friendships last. Waddy and I have known each other since 1971.”


A sentimental Nicks also let her fans know that, despite her age, she’s far from retiring.


“When you leave here I want you to remember that, you know, me and Waddy, we’re quite old,” Nicks said, to laughter. “We love you so much that we don’t care how old we are. We’re out here. And we’ll be out here next year, and the year after that. Because you give us back so much.”


Bubbly Dallas native and country artist Abby Anderson opened for Nicks, singing original and cover songs in a soulful voice and playing both piano and guitar. She sang an unreleased song, “Untamed Woman,” written about her mom who was in the audience, and teared up while talking about her. The artist said she grew up listening to Stevie Nicks and that touring with her is a thrill.
