    REVIEW: Fleetwood Mac revisits Mirage, inside the studio and out

    After Rumours became the biggest pop album of the 1970s, Fleetwood Mac followed it up with 1979’s shockingly different Tusk — a critical success, but a relative commercial flop. Where to go from there? 1982’s Mirage, which leans closer to the Rumours sound while maintaining a distinct identity. The band will Mirage in September with a new deluxe package that showcases the remastered original album, a full disc worth of alternate takes and B-sides, and a third disc of live tracks.

    Warner Bros. Records is ready to reissue a remastered and reloaded Fleetwood Mac Mirage on July 29

    Warner Bros. Records is releasing a remastered deluxe edition of Fleetwood Mac’s classic album, Mirage, and ahead of the debut they’ve provided us with a sample of “Gypsy” that is stunningly crisp and clear. It’s like hearing the song again for the first time.

    The early version of “Gypsy” sounds like it could have been released last week, rather than in 1982, and the deluxe reissue will feature a 3-CD set with remastered sound, and rare, unreleased recordings. A 2-CD edition, and digital edition will also be available on July 29.

    Listen to the early sample below, and scroll down for more details on the re-issue. Check out FleetwoodMac.com for more.

    The re-mastered edition of Mirage features the iconic songs “Hold Me,” “Love In Store,” plus “Gypsy”.

    Both the deluxe and expanded editions of the album include a bonus disc with 19 tracks that are either rare or outtakes, including “Empire State” and “Book Of Love”. The third disc on the deluxe release of Mirage include 12 live performances from the band’s 1982 U.S. tour.

  • Hear Fleetwood Mac’s Early Version of ‘Gypsy’

    Hear Fleetwood Mac’s Early Version of ‘Gypsy’

    Fleetwood Mac’s hit 1982 album, Mirage, is set for reissue on July 29th in an expanded package that contains live tracks, early versions of familiar songs, outtakes and previously unheard studio jams. It will be available as a bare-bones remastered album, a two-CD expanded edition and a deluxe-edition box set that contains three CDs, a DVD and a vinyl LP. Preview the set below with an early version of the Stevie Nicks-sung single “Gypsy.”

    Mirage came just three years after Fleetwood Mac released their experimental double LP Tusk, but in that time both Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham launched solo careers and MTV drastically changed the pop-music landscape. Unlike many Seventies rock bands that struggled in this new era, Fleetwood Mac thrived. Mirage singles “Hold Me” and “Oh Diane” became big hits on radio and MTV, and the band supported the LP with an extremely successful American arena tour.

    Fleetwood Mac’s next album, 1987’s Tango in the Night, was their final release with the classic Rumors-era lineup, though the band did reunite for a tour in 1997. In 2014, keyboardist Christine McVie returned to the band after a long absence for a rapturously received reunion tour. There’s been talk of a new studio album, but there’s no clear sign they’ve actually begun work on it.

    Here is the track listing to the new deluxe edition of Mirage:

    The outtakes disc features 19 tracks, including early versions of several songs on the album, a couple of tunes from the sessions that don’t appear on Mirage, an extended mix of “Gypsy” used for the song’s video, and a cover of Fats Domino’s “Blue Monday.”

    The live CD boasts performances of a few Mirage tunes, including “Gypsy,” as well as such well-known Fleetwood Mac songs as “The Chain,” “You Make Loving Fun,” “Rhiannon,” “Tusk” and “Go Your Own Way.”

    1982-gypsy-video-screen-capAbout Mirage

    Fleetwood Mac’s 13th studio album Mirage was released on June 29, 1982. On August 7, the album reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart, remaining in the top position for five weeks through the week of September 4. The album’s lead single “Hold Me” was the band’s first Top 10 single since “Sara” (No. 7) from Tusk (1979), reaching No. 4 during the summer of 1982. The album’s momentum continued with the release of the next two singles “Gypsy” (No. 12) and “Love in Store” (No. 22). Heavy MTV rotation of the music videos for “Hold Me” and “Gypsy” contributed to the album’s popularity.

    In 1983, Fleetwood Mac received two American Music Awards nominations for Best Pop/Rock Group and Best Pop/Rock Album. In 1984, the RIAA certified Mirage double platinum for the shipment of two million units to retailers.
