5.0 out of 5 stars~ Fleetwood Mac's '75 gem gets a Deluxe treatment with 5 extra tracks ~
By93Veton August 24, 2016
Here we are, 1975, a time of change, certainly for the longtime group known as Fleetwood Mac. I was 9 when this album was out and my older brother had it on his record player one day. I listened to several songs, notably the radio hits that were in rotation on the local rock station here in S. Ca. With that, came my familiarity of the band from that day forward. Mind you, I didn't have the $ to dish out on records at the time, but I didn't have to when my brother was around. This album is a great Fleetwood Mac album and sounds even better remastered here with extra tracks! I love it even more than before. So, with this "Deluxe Edition" trend hitting several artists/bands within the last decade or recent years, I had to pick this one up and was pleasantly amazed all over again. The treatment given to this record is very nice, a great edition that has very little or no hiss at all, whereas before, the first pressing of CDs in the age of the '80s had varying degrees of sloppiness.
That is definitely the term I would use to describe some of them, since technology was just coming along to get as close to the original sound of the master used in recording as possible.
I was never a huge fan of cassette tapes, only the fact that they were portable now and we could listen to them in the car or a boombox with big speakers we could carry around with us.
I have to say this is an improvement over the previous releases of this album on CD. Put on your headphones and put this baby in the CD player/adjust your equalizer if you must, and enjoy the melodies of one of the best rock groups to come out of the '70s!!
The addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham to the group added something extra special.
You have the original lineup of songs from the album here, plus some extra tracks and two previously unreleased songs.
Highly recommended for any Fleetwood Mac fan and fans of Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie.
