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.
