Though individual tracks do stand out-McVie's "Over & Over," "Never Make Me Cry," "Sara," "Storms," and "Beautiful Child," "Buckingham's "Walk a Thin Line" and "Tusk"-the album is best experienced as a long, flowing whole, moods emerging, harmonies shifting, and odd sound experiments percolating underneath the smooth professional sheen. FLEETWOOD MAC: DELUXE EDITION is packaged in a 12 x 12 embossed sleeve with rare and unseen photos along with in-depth liner notes written by David Wild featuring new interviews with all the band members. Description: (2018) Fleetwood Mac Fleetwood Mac Deluxe Edition Review: Before the album that became Fleetwood Mac was made, the British-based blues-rockers had been a quartet: Mick Fleetwood and John McVie had served as the rhythm section (drums and bass, respectively) since the group’s inception in 1967 Christine McVie had contributed vocals and keyboards since 1970. Buckingham took on much of the production himself, recording at home and in the personally modified Village Recorder studio in West Los Angeles, until he fashioned an album both quirky and accessible, as much a part of the '70s rock elite establishment as informed by the funkier experiments of the emerging punk and new wave. It's an expansive, 20-track collection that allows each of the three songwriters-Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, and Stevie Nicks-to stretch their musical vocabulary with the very best sonics that money could buy. Fleetwood Mac decided to follow up the career-defining, best-selling Rumours with an album that would not compromise their integrity or seem like a quick rehash of their proven FM-radio-friendly formula.
