I absolutely love this Fleetwood Mac vinyl! As a longtime fan of their music, I was thrilled to add this to my collection. The sound quality is incredible, with clear and rich tones that really bring out the depth of their iconic tracks. The vinyl itself is sturdy, well-pressed, and plays smoothly with no skips or pops.The album cover is beautiful—it’s visually stunning and adds such a great aesthetic to my collection. The artwork really captures the spirit of Fleetwood Mac, making this vinyl not only a joy to listen to but also a wonderful piece to display.Whether you're a long-time Fleetwood Mac fan or a new listener, this vinyl is a must-have. It has such a nostalgic, warm feel when played, and it’s truly the best way to experience their music.Highly recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy their classic albums in the best format possible!

I have this album on vinyl and it's brilliant so updating it with a CD.

If you are thinking of updating your version of Rumours or buying it for the first time, read on. Significantly, there is no indication on the CD packaging of the single disc 35th-anniversary version of Rumours that it’s remastered, nor a special edition. However, after a simple search on the internet for the album’s SKU (8122796778), I can confirm that the CD is a 2004 remaster, reissued in 2013, but good luck finding that information on the cover. You will immediately hear the difference if you own a previous version of Rumours. It sounds excellent to my non-musical ears, with the bonus of hearing instruments and energy barely audible on the older version. It’s important to note that the 2004 remastered/2013 reissued version of Rumours does not include the extra Silver Springs track. If you want that additional song, you can purchase the 35th anniversary, deluxe edition, 3 CD digipack. However, if you only want the original version remastered, this single CD 35th-anniversary edition is a bargain. If you have never listened to Rumours before, you are in for a treat. It still sits within the top ten biggest-selling albums of all time for a reason – it is excellent from start to finish, a rarity in today’s world.Edit - updated 12/04/24 I can confirm there are some slight changes to the 2013 re-release of the 2004 remastered version CD of Rumours SKU (8122796778). There are subtle instrumental edits in some of the songs I didn't pick up on the first few listens. If you've never heard Rumours before you won't know any different. However, I have gone back to listening to my non-remastered version CD which has the following SKU (7599-27213-2). This is the version I'm more familar with and is more pleasing to me overall.

Bought this at what was a bargain price and am absolutely delighted. No skips, hops or jumps - just the wonderful sound of '70's Fleetwood Mac. I was only ten when this came out and never had this album on vinyl. Why did I wait so long?I've read some reviews from people whose vinyl skips. I suspect some may need a better turntable or some help to set theirs up. I haven't had an album that skipped since ELO's Discovery came out in 79, made worse by the old Dynatron I played it on. My most expensive turntable was only £200 a couple of years ago (Pro-ject) and i've never changed a cartridge or tone arm from the original. Careful balancing and checking the settings are right is all i've ever carried out, and i've replaced the odd stylus here and there. I've bought a lot more vinyl over the last couple of years without any problems, so don't be discouraged. Some pressings pop or crackle a little and those tend to sound better to my ear with a cheap spherical stylus.

I've been looking to get this SACD but was put off by the high prices that most outlets charge. This represented much better value for money and does sound great. This is of course subjective and linked to the equipment used but in that context it sounds better on my equipment (Pioneer SACD paired to a Naim Amplifier) than the CD version that I own. This not a massive difference but enough to make this the best version I've heard. I'm very selective about buying imported SACD but this one I don't regret.

Good music

Bought as a replacement for the original album damaged in a flood. Possibly one of the best latter-day F Mac albums. Having followed the band from their early days with Peter Green, Christine Perfect to the Anglo American with Stevie Nicks. All the tracks are very good and makes great listening. Two tracks, The Chain and Songbird are outstanding.

CD arrived on time very happy with the purchase.
