Nicely Remastered Collection Of Fleetwood Mac's Best!
This latest remastered collection of Fleetwood Mac Hits is their best yet. This is a more complete collection than the Greatest Hits cd which was released in the late 80's. Basically, you've got the best songs from the self titled "Fleetwood Mac" cd to the "25 Years - The Chain" cd collection. Disc 1 includes: Monday Morning, Dreams, You Make Loving Fun, Go Your Own Way, Rhiannon, Say You Love Me, I'm So Afraid (live 1997), Silver Springs, Over My Head, Never Going Back Again, Sara, Love In Store, Tusk, Landslide, Songbird, Big Love (live, 1997) and Storms. Disc 2 includes: The Chain, Don't Stop, What Makes You Think You're The One, Gypsy, Second Hand News, Little Lies, Think About Me, Go Insane (live, 1997), Gold Dust Woman, Hold Me, Seven Wonders, World Turning, Everywhere, Sisters Of The Moon, Family Man, As Long As You Follow, No Questions Asked, Skies The Limit and Paper Doll. Originally a 60's blues band featuring Peter Green and later Bob Welch, Fleetwood Mac in the mid-seventies added two unknowns to the group in guitarist/songwriter Lindsey Buckingham and his girlfriend singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks. The two transformed the once blues band into a sensational pop/rock outfit which was one of the seventies most successful groups. The band itself had some ups and downs throughout the years and at one time called it quits, before re-uniting and releasing a live cd and video entitled "The Dance". Thankfully Fleetwood Mac is still together and is working on a new cd. This "Very Best Of" 2-cd collection also includes a nice booklet with pics and a brief history of the band. The sound quality is also superb due to remastering. If you enjoy listening to classic rock then this cd is a must have. Buy it and enjoy. Highly recommended!
Rock & Roll is back!
Oh gosh, this is one of many Fleetwood Mac compilations (others: Greatest Hits & The Chain Box Set), however, it is probably one of the more comprehensive yet. Not only is the quality absolutely amazing, but the setlist includes the original studio version of "Silver Springs" and live versions (from 1997's The Dance) of "Big Love," "I'm So Afraid," and "Go Insane." In addition, songs like "Storms," "Second Hand News," "Monday Morning," "Sisters of the Moon," "World Turning," and "Songbird," made the cut and sound excellent!
This enhanced edition rocks even more because of the documentary footage included on the first disc. Yes, we finally get a glimpse into the recording process of Mick, John, Lindsey, and Stevie recording for their 2003 album! It's so much fun to watch, especially if you're one of the millions of fans out there. I recommend this right behind Rumours -- it's absolutely essential...and ROCK IS BACK!
Should have stopped when it was ahead
This 2 CD set includes all of the Fleetwood Mac's hits from albums "Fleetwood Mac" & "Rumours" (Basically it contains the entire "Rumours" album, minus 2 tracks).
"Tusk", "Mirage", "Tango in the Night" are also represented well on this collection. I won't bother to go into every song and whether or not it should have been included in this set, but anything from "The Dance" should have been left off in place of the original. "Big Love", the acoustic and whiny version presented here does not do the song justice. "Go Insane" I guess was a way for Buckingham to sneak in one of his solo hits onto a Mac album. It's also kind of sad to hear a band that was so original and inventive, go from songs like "The Chain" and "Tusk" to elevator pap like "Skies the Limit" and "Paper Doll". I enjoy the early stuff, hits or not, but everything after "Tango in the Night" should have been left to the record store bargain bins. Instead of buying this, look for used copies of Mac's early albums, I've seen them listed for $5 and under, you could probably buy all of them for the price of this one collection.
