Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
There are great albums that are of their time.
There are great albums that transcend their time.
There are great albums that define their time.
Fleetwood Mac's
Rumours falls into the
third category...wait a second.
What is a twenty-seven-year-old album that everybody has heard of
doing on Fresh Tuneage?
It turns out that Rumours has finally been remastered,
and not just your typical "I'm not sure I hear a difference"
remaster, either.
Disc one has the normal album with the addition of the B-side
Silver Springs.
Disc two has early versions of almost all the album tracks,
including a version of
Songbird that gives the final version
a run for its money,
followed by assorted demos.
Is it worth spending the extra bucks for a double CD to replace a CD
I already have?
The deluxe treatment has also been given to
Fleetwood Mac and
Tusk
but I'm going to wait on those two.
For me, the answer was "yes" for Rumours.
