The Alternate Collection Box) (BF22 EX)

Product Information

With my copy, though I encountered a sharp screech on more than 2 occasions in the first track alone. Still, as Nelson says in liner notes for Live at Budokan, a new two-CD and DVD release of the show, “Music is a great communicator…[people] will hear it in whatever language they are listening. Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today. Hernan Rojas’s story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet’s coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. I thought ftom the original marketing blurb (as mentioned on this page) that this was supposed to be a limited RSD 2022 release?

After Fleetwood Mac unceremoniously ejected Lindsey Buckingham from the group in 2018, the chances that we’d ever again hear new music from the group’s classic lineup seemed remote. The sound quality on these recordings is top notch, its so crystal clear and life like that you will have to be careful as not to deafen yourself because you will be constantly turning the volume up. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The 1975, Rumors and Tusk albums are all presented in complete form with demos, early takes, rehearsals, etc.

Some of the recordings (especially many of the concert tracks) are as good as—or arguably even better than—the familiar ones. In general, the tracks are more stripped down without the final additional embellishments, such as the searing guitar on Go Your Own Way. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Given that most people probably don't need an "alternative" Rumours LP as they probably still have the original (which, as we all know, sold by the truckload), I think that sales of the ALT recordings would likely be limited to hardcore collectors (like myself)! Le seul avantage est de les trouver tous réunis ensemble et pouvoir réentendre la magnifique Christine McVie nous chanter une de ses plus belles chansons, Songbird (sur Rumours).

This release on CD could have included more alternate outtakes from the Super Deluxe editions of Tusk and Rumours, making it a better value than the LPs and more comprehensive for those who missed out on the earlier editions or just prefer to listen to alternate takes alone.The few tracks that I played when it arrived sounded a but dull to me, despite the claimed re-master. A limited-edition, clamshell-boxed anthology, it contains six CDs (or eight vinyl LPs) and includes versions of six of the group’s biggest albums that preserve their original cover art but offer different recordings of each of their tracks. In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac’s epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.

The only complaint, if i must, is the thin cellophane sleeves inside the cardboard sleeves for each CD.

Unlike some other band albums I’ve heard as alternatives there aren’t any short ‘filler’ clips from the studio. One example of that: The Alternate Collection’s “Suma’s Walk,” an amiable but unremarkable instrumental riff that with a new name, beefed-up instrumentation, and terrific vocals, became the Mirage ear candy known as “Can’t Go Back. By the way vinyl doesn’t just warp unless exposed to undue heat, 180 g and 200 g vinyl will warp just about as readily as 140 g.For those who have listened to the original albums many times, it is a refreshing listening experience to hear these alternative versions. It offers no liner notes and fewer alternate versions, but it embraces the lion’s share of the most interesting such versions and costs far less than you’d spend for all the deluxe editions. I have taken the time to listen to these after picking up the box set on RSD Black Friday and I just have to say, the sound quality on these clear pressings is amazing!
