The Alternate Collection Box) (BF22 EX)

Product Information

By the way vinyl doesn’t just warp unless exposed to undue heat, 180 g and 200 g vinyl will warp just about as readily as 140 g. The 1975, Rumors and Tusk albums are all presented in complete form with demos, early takes, rehearsals, etc. Nice collection, CD version mirrors the same aesthetics of the vinyl set, all CD faces have the same style of artwork as the corresponding LP center labels.

Since this is the alternate versions of the albums, it rather inconsistently includes and omit songs that were not on the original album track list: IE, no "Silver Springs" on Rumours, but there are b-sides and non album songs on Tango in The Night while corresponding hits are missing.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. At least there’s a large catalog of recorded material to remind us of just how potent a force this band could be.

This release on CD could have included more alternate outtakes from the Super Deluxe editions of Tusk and Rumours, making it a better value than the LPs and more comprehensive for those who missed out on the earlier editions or just prefer to listen to alternate takes alone.In other cases, it’s the opposite: you can hear how the group took a flat-sounding, relatively prosaic recording, added musical touches and production magic, and transformed it into an extraordinary final rendition. It would have been nice if the new edition of Catch Bull at Four had at least incorporated some bonus tracks and liner notes. With my copy, though I encountered a sharp screech on more than 2 occasions in the first track alone. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

In general, the tracks are more stripped down without the final additional embellishments, such as the searing guitar on Go Your Own Way. It includes not only a long list of studio and live albums, but a ton of alternate takes, versions, and mixes, as well as demos and rehearsal recordings. Unlike some other band albums I’ve heard as alternatives there aren’t any short ‘filler’ clips from the studio. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn’t get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band’s Grammy-winning sound.

Le coffret contient les versions alternatives des albums de 1975 à 1982, la période avec Buckingham et Nicks qui a vu le groupe renaître en se tournant vers un pop rock au son californien qui allait les propulser parmi les plus célèbres des années 70 : Fleetwood Mac, Rumours (chef d’œuvre absolu), Tusk, Live, Mirage et Tango in the night. With Christine recently passing it’s been nice to listen to this set and appreciate all she gave to the music of Fleetwood Mac. I dare say some people have had quality issues with copies of this album but I have yet to find an artist or label that doesn’t. Backed by a band that features his talented piano-playing sister Bobbie (who died last March at age 91), he hits all the bases in his repertoire and delivers some of his most famous numbers, including “Always on My Mind,” the self-penned “On the Road Again,” and Fred Rose’s “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” from 1975’s game-changing Red-Headed Stranger concept LP. Aside from introducing song titles and band members and thanking the audience for applause, Willie Nelsondidn’t talk much during his February 1984 concert at Japan’s Nippon Budokan arena.

Le seul avantage est de les trouver tous réunis ensemble et pouvoir réentendre la magnifique Christine McVie nous chanter une de ses plus belles chansons, Songbird (sur Rumours).

Who else could deliver traditional and outlaw country tunes like “If You’ve Got the Money Honey I’ve Got the Time,” “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” and “Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line” and in the same show tap the Great American Songbook for beautifully rendered performances of songs like Hoagy Carmichael and Mitchell Parish’s “Stardust” and Irving Berlin’s “Blue Skies”? His books include Dylan on Dylan: Interviews and Encounters , Lennon on Lennon: Conversations with John Lennon , Leonard Cohen on Leonard Cohen: Interviews and Encounters , and Springsteen on Springsteen: Interviews, Speeches, and Encounters .
