Fleetwood Mac release incredible Rumours deluxe set

Yeah, Rumours has been re-released before more than once. I personally have it in LP format, CD, MP3, DVD-A, and the 2-disc reissue from a few years ago. So, besides being an obsessive hardcore, why am I shelling out over $80 for the Rumours Deluxe Edition?

Because it is deluxe indeed!  It not only has an LP, Rumours CD, and the outtakes CD I'd heard before, but it also has another outtakes CD that I hadn't heard before which includes treats like Stevie's early version of "The Chain" with different lyrics as well as Christine's "Keep Me There" which would be blended into hers to make "The Chain" we know and love today. Lindsey has a cool early version of "Go Your Own Way" with the lyric "You can roll like thunder."  Additionally, it has a live CD from the Rumours tour and finally, the 1976 Rosebud documentary DVD in high quality. With regard to packaging, the large booklet and gatefold framing is beautiful. Hardcores must have this!

You can buy it from Amazon and similar stores, or you can get it bundled with T-shirts and posters from Fleetwood Mac's official site.

Note: There is also an Expanded Edition version available with only three CDs; it's cheaper, but also doesn't include the Rosebud DVD, the LP, or as many outtakes (although the outtakes that are missing seem to be the ones from the reissue a little while ago - something to keep in mind if you're trying to save money). I say go for the super-deluxe but that's just me.

Stevie and Lindsey in Sound City documentary; Stevie has new song

While fans wait for Stevie Nicks' In Your Dreams documentary to be released commercially, at least we get to see both her and Lindsey Buckingham in another one. They, along with Mick Fleetwood, appear in a segment of Dave Grohl's Sound City documentary. Their segment is brief, but in it they talk a great deal about the making of Buckingham Nicks as well as Fleetwood Mac's white album. While the documentary is currently available for streaming, the release date for the DVD is March 12, 2013.

The Sound City soundtrack is also slated for a March 12, 2013 release date and features a new song by Stevie called "You Can't Fix This" about the death of her godson. It is also available through amazon.com and similar retailers. See a live version on YouTube filmed where Stevie appeared as part of Grohl's "supergroup" which, among a handful of other performances, played at the Sundance Film Festival in January where the documentary premiered.

Lindsey Buckingham releasing new live album available on iTunes Nov. 13

Lindsey Buckingham's most recent tour has featured the man performing completely solo: no backing band, just Lindsey and his guitars.  Now, he's set to release a recording of one of those shows as a digital download on iTunes. According to Lindsey:

"This performance is from a single night in Des Moines…taken right off the console mix, with a couple of room mikes added in. [....] It's live and raw, with no post-production.  I love it!  It captures not only the spirit of the performance, but also the spirit of where I now live as an artist."

It will be available on iTunes November 13.
