Title: Very Nice-Sounding Edition of a Legendary Classic.
Review: I bought this content for the cuts that I was already aware that I knew and liked, but had never owned - even back in the day - although, I believe that's mostly because, as I recall, these songs were so frequent on the airwaves, (and for so long) in those days, it was likely that it was as though that in itself may have sufficed, to me, for not having the money to buy the record at the time, as I also seem to recall, that as a high-school student living in the days of the golden age of rock, I had 'ears far bigger than my wallet' pretty much all the time. I bought this CD edition because, over the intervening years, I have gradually acquired (by my own standards, anyway) a fairly nice HiFi and wanted to hear what this version had to offer, especially since I could find no reviews - even though stocks of it seemed to be dwindling only DAYS after its initial release. I figured I might better pull the trigger before the price went up (on the used market, Amazon sellers, ebay, etc.), assuming there would ultimately be no 'second wave' of supplies of it to hit the internet shelves. But, I figured I'd try it and see, despite its being rather pricey.As for the content, the music is great! I wound up with 6 established favorites from this disc: "Rhiannon", "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me", "Landslide", "World Turning" and "Jam #2". The rest of the album proper is not bad, either. And there's also the single versions of "Say You Love Me", "Rhiannon", "Over My Head" and "Blue Letter". I found the album versions of these tracks to all be ultimately prefferable to the singles, but you won't hear me complain at all about being given a choice. "World Turning" proved to be a track that, prior to hearing it on this CD, I honestly can't recall when I heard it last, it's been so long, yet I recognized the tune, as long-lost from my conscious memory as it was, within the first, few seconds and then suddenly realized that I had never successfully placed it as actually being a Fleetwood Mac tune - a pleasant surprise for me. A treasure recovered. This track, all except for its driving, tribal-rhythm coda (think: a spark for the bon-fire that "Tusk" would later become), has a classic feel that almost plays like some sort of long-lost Zepplin jam, and that's not a bad thing at all, actually. And then, of course, there's the much-hearalded and sublime "Landslide" that must simply be one of the most heartfelt and deeply stirring songs of any rock decade.As for the 2010 CD edition, this is a Japanese import (with obi strip - part of the "Forever Young" series). They have apparently used the previous 2004 remaster artwork as the template, so, I'm also presuming this CD is pressed from the 2004 remaster as well (though I can't prove that in a court of law). The CD does not list the technology used for the remastering (DSD, Bluray, SHM, 24-Bit, etc.), unless it's in the Japanese text (which is all Greek to me). If I had in my possession (or could even recollect any impression of, for that matter) the 2004 remaster, I could better tell you wheather this more priceyer version was worth the extra cash or not, but, I've never listened to it. As for the sound quality on its own, I can pretty much tell you: there just isn't much to criticize, here. This seems to me to be a surprisingly good edition of a 1975 recording, I can at least tell you that. No sonic performance area seemed suspect at all and the recording itself seemed to have a nice live quality to it that helped to treat me to the illusion of the group performing in front of me. I never dwelled on the recording (except long enough to study or marvel at it) and found myself easily and fully engaged by the performance and (without an A/B comparison to go on) I'm not sure how much better than that it can get. For me, a definite keeper.

Title: Even greater than Rumours
Review: It might help to emphasize the greatness of this record by noting that I'm the last person on the world who should love it; my genres are classical, jazz, and to the extent that I enjoy pop/rock, my tastes go in the opposite direction from the folk-influenced pop that Fleetwood Mac did well. If you buy a Fleetwood Mac album on Amazon (as I've discovered), the buying recommendations that start coming to you include James Taylor, the Eagles, Carly Simon, etc. Completely not my thing.But hoo boy, is this a great record. It deserves to be considered one of the all-time rock/pop classics, and in my opinion is greater than its heralded follow-up, Rumours.I base that on a view that the songs on this record are 1) just as catchy and infectious, but also 2) possessed of much greater emotional depth.Consider first Stevie Nicks's timeless "Landslide," a poetic, haunting, acoustic jewel. I don't know why this song doesn't routinely come up atop those "all time 100 greatest songs" lists, but it really deserves to. It's hard to imagine a song that more beautifully captures the emotions it sings about: big life changes, relationship dissolution, feeling uncertain and scared, and trying to find the courage to move forward.Immediately before "Landslide" on the record is another classic, Christine McVie's "Say You Love Me." It's basically a toe-tapping number good for singing along, but there's a subtext of poignancy to it that I've never been able to put my finger on. The lyrics don't really try to be profound. But there's something about the way McVie, Buckingham and Nicks sing the choruses together, especially in combination with the roving bass, and especially in the fadeout. When they get to the end and are repeating, "Fallin', fallin', fallin'" in three-part harmony, it just feels perfection.And the album has other smash hits also: "Rhiannon" and "Over My Head" among them. "Over My Head" is prettier and more gentle in the album version than on the single version. "Rhiannon" isn't one of my favorite songs (I never really liked the whole Stevie Nicks persona where she seems to be narcissistically starring in her own fantasy novel) but it's an undeniably strong single.So there you have four timeless hit songs that are at least as strong as the four best songs on Rumours. (Does anything on Rumours pack the emotional punch of "Landslide?"). But it's not just the headline numbers on this record but the supporting tunes that are fantastic."Blue Letter" is a wonderful song, could easily have been a hit of its own (it sounds as though it influenced the composition of "Say You Love Me," even on down to the affecting fadeout.) "Monday Morning," an energetic up-tempo number by Lindsey Buckingham, gets the album off to a terrific start. "Crystal" is really a beautiful, emotional, poetic piece, composed by Stevie Nicks, sung mostly by Buckingham. It's good for a lump in the throat; Nicks had a great gift for conveying powerful emotions in simple, understated composition.The six-song sequence that runs: Blue Letter, Rhiannon, Over My Head, Crystal, Say You Love Me, and Landslide is about as strong a six-song run that any band has ever recorded (and the two that precede that run aren't bad either.)In sum, Fleetwood Mac is at their hit-making best on this record, but there is a poetry and emotional power to this music that you don't hear on their later recordings. It paved the way for the phenomenal chart success of Rumours, but is in my opinion the greater of the two albums.
