More than any other Fleetwood Mac album, Tusk is born of a particular time and place - it could only have been created in the aftermath of Rumours, which shattered sales records, which in turn gave the group a blank check for its next album.But if they were falling apart during the making of Rumours, they were officially broken and shattered during the making of Tusk, and that disconnect.

I can say that mine from Acoustic Sounds is very good, but I can tell you nothing more about it.That's the big problem I have with downloads.

In most cases, absolutely NO info whatsoever on the vendor's website. Even on this forum, there never seems to be an artist or album specific thread regarding hi-res downloads. Just a few monstrously huge mashup threads about hi-res downloads generally, with all albums and artists lumped together, missing only page after page of shipping reports. Good luck finding any info about a specific artist or title in hi-res download there, akin to looking for a particular needle in a needlestack.That's a pretty big issue with me these days, given the evolution of mastering practices over recent years and decades. Taking for example those Genesis SACDs, which sound like that they were mastered for the cheapo earbuds crowd (as if any of them would even buy an SACD, much less give a flying rat's patoot about the sound), it cannot be assumed that the mastering will be appropriately good just because it is hi-res. In that regard, it's not very different from the time not so long ago when a label would just slap a 'Remastered' sticker on the jewel box or on the cover artwork and it would automatically sell like hotcakes.

Don't they understand that we are all much older and wiser now, and therefore less gullible. INFO PLEASE!It would be nice to know before I fling out substantial money yet again.

Click to expand.Is your statement that the 24/192 version will be the same at every download store a known specific fact, or just an assumption based on the lack of need to make a second 24/192 when there is already a first? I only say that because I have seen one or more download reviews in The Absolute Sound noting different sound in a 24/192 from HD Tracks vs 24/192 of the same title offered by Acoustic Sounds (in that case the HD Tracks version was the one to get, according to the review).

I frankly don't know why anyone would bother to make a second 24/192 download master when there is already an existing one. But if they are exactly the same, then why on earth would they sound different to the degree that a a reviewer would recommend one over the other?

It is my present understanding that a two disc CD only version is due out shortly, containing the first and second discs, but NOT the third CD, which I believe has the live tracks. Though the two CD set might well be worth having in its own right, I would really like to get the live tracks as well. I saw them live in 1975 and they were really on top of their game then, even better than the 'Rumours' tour, perhaps because they still had something to prove with the new personnel (their following had started dwindling a bit at least after 'Mystery to Me', if not after 'Bare Trees').I wouldn't even mind an LP I already have (very good MFSL from much fresher tapes) as long as I can count on it being a Bellman cut. The DVD doesn't mean so much to me, except for the 5.1 mix (and a lossy one at that), as I already have the 24/192 download for hi-rez. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on this one.

I saw them in Madison WI September 1975, and it wasn't even close to a sellout. But oh did they ever smoke the venue that night (I believe they were warmed up by Ambrosia).

When they returned to the same venue (Dane County Coliseum) July 1976, it was sold out well in advance. They were still dead flat perfect, but some of the killer energy of that first show was missing. I've seen that happen before with a couple of other bands (most memorably in my case the Eagles, who had to warm up the Stones before 55,000 in June 1975). It can become just another gig.

When they hit the road for that first tour together, they already knew they had something really special going, and it was like they just couldn't wait to drop some jaws. I've picked up the 2 CD version of this set. Currently towards the end of CD 1 and I am impressed so far. Really good remastering by Dan Hersch - much smoother sounding than my previous CD copy. I can appreciate some people may view it as falling short of 'audiophile' standards as it does have a touch of compression and EQ but this isn't maximised or smiley faced - it's a decent effort.Overall, these Fleetwood Mac reissues have been excellent, and put the reissue efforts of many other artists to shame.

All the albums have been remastered well - I would happily recommend these reissues to people as being an easily available, good sounding introduction to the band. This is particularly true of Tango In The Night, which I felt was a significant improvement on the original thin and screechy CD. The bonus material has also been excellent on all the albums, and has provided some excellent alternative versions and unreleased material. Record labels pay attention - this is how to do a reissue campaign.

I would also say I don't think the Fleetwood Mac reissues have got the credit they deserve - we often complain about poorly produced reissues or praise projects which involve Steven Wilson, such as the XTC surround series. For me, these reissues are on a par with some of the best we've seen over the last few years.

Well done all who were involved!
