Recent Remasters of Fleetwood Mac s/t and Rumours

ChristianL · 03-22-2004, 12:16 PM

I just gave both a quick listen. FM s/t sounds better than the original CD. The bass is heavy, too but less muddy and the voices are clearer.

Rumours...well...the bass is just right for me, but the treble could be less. It sounds better than the dull sounding German CD (1988). The best version of Rumours I've ever heard was the German Warner vinyl-reissue from 1999.

Both CD's were mastered by Bill Inglott and Dan Hersch.

I love the new remasters... the best version what I've ever heard!

Oh boy, here we go! The shootout begins! Don't forget, "Tusk," as well. These guys must get to pick up new releases on Mondays.

Stuff in Europe comes out on Mondays

How do tracks compare to the Inglot/Hersch double-CD greatest hits package? Presumably they were all mastered in one go.

How is the packaging? Is it digipak or jewel case?

Joel1963 · 03-22-2004, 01:37 PM

And how does the new Rumours compare to the DVD-A?

I read that, "Rumours," and, "Tusk," are in slimline jewel cases.

VeeDub · 03-22-2004, 02:16 PM

Hopefully we'll see that 'Tusk' DVD-A soon, but does anyone know if an 'FM' DVD-A is even planned at this point?

eelkiller · 03-22-2004, 02:39 PM

The Fleetwood Mac s/t DVD Audio was listed as to be scheduled on some web pages last year but I would not hold my breath (I have learned this waiting for the Neil Young titles).

Why can't they SACD these suckers as well? Chicago II, Rumours, Fleetwood Mac s/t, why are they choosing the DVD-A route?

daveman · 03-22-2004, 03:20 PM

I saw them at a local store today (Monday!). It's a small used chain in the area. They had Tusk and Rumours (2-cd) at $24 and Fleetwood Mac s/t (1-cd) at $13. They are in standard jewel cases with a with a slipcase like Concert for George has. Was tempted to buy one but I wanted Rumours and it was too pricey...another time or another place I will.

My store got these in today. RUMOURS and TUSK are in slimline double-disc jewel cases with an outer sleeve, while FLEETWOOD MAC comes in a regular jewel box with an outer sleeve. FLEETWOOD MAC is midline-priced.

KeithH · 03-22-2004, 03:29 PM

So, Rumours and Tusk are two-disc sets? What did they add?

I'm guessing that the remaster of Rumours does not have the fade up on "Gold Dust Woman." Is this true? My assumption is based on the fact that the DVD-Audio disc doesn't have it.

Ron Stone · 03-22-2004, 04:24 PM

I just hope they also reissue LIVE, MIRAGE and TANGO IN THE NIGHT. Presumably MIRAGE and TANGO have already been remastered, since tracks from both were included on THE VERY BEST OF.

Haven't heard the new discs yet, but the 2002 Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac had the correct fade-in of Gold Dust Woman, unlike the DVD-A. Hopefully they kept it correct with the new Rumours reissue.

On the ICE Magazine site, they had listed the DVD-A version of Tusk coming out on March 23 also. Don't know...that very well could be pushed back too.

I'm hoping to grab Fleetwood Mac tommorrow. I wanna get those 45 mixes of Rhiannon, Say You Love Me, Over My Head and Blue Letter all on one CD.

I had to stop a Circuit City today to pick up the second season of Will & Grace for my wife. I don't know how it happened but "Fleetwood Mac" & "Rumours" found there way up at the check out counter when I was leaving! :p

Anyway, I'm on the second disc of "Rumors" and I'm loving it. The "Roughs & Outtakes" (the name of the second disc) is far better that I thought it would be. I'm not disappointed at all. I haven't heard the "Fleetwood Mac" yet but I'm sure that will sound great as well.

BTW, "Fleetwood Mac" was $12.99 and the "Rumours" two CD set was $19.99.
"Rumours" is the Warner Brothers Trees label, "Fleetwood Mac" is the old Steamboat Reprise label, kind of neat (what is odd, there is a Disc 1 written on the label, but it's only one disc).

The only complaint I have is on the two disc set, it's real hard to get to the second disc, the plastic hinges are real stiff and it scrapes the photo inside of the back picture.

Hey Joe, Fleetwood Mac s/t is just one disc, right? 'Cause you say above you're on the second disc of, "Fleetwood Mac."
