This is the topic for my 70's album discussion group for February


Rumours (1977) by Fleetwood Mac

The previous albums were

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie (December)
Abraxas by Santana (January)

Any thoughts or comments on this album greatly appreciated. I will be posting my own over the next month

Always important to remember that the very best song from Rumours wasn't on Rumours. Could be the greatest outtake ever.

Nope. The original album was the 11 tracks shown on BEA. Silver Springs wasn't on it. It was added on some reissues later on (2001), but when the album came out, it was left off. It was the B side on "Go Your Own Way", but otherwise it wasn't on an album until a 1992 Mac compilation.

Great shout and I hadn't appreciated that it was originally intended for the album. This is the sort of stuff that I'm hoping to learn about the album.

Sorry Romanelliโ€” was just a slightโ€” would've preferred it on the album in lieu of Oh Daddyโ€”

Completely agree. But they weren't going to bump a Christine song for a Stevie song. At least it's out there, and in this age, we can just add the song to it!

I agree with the above. Just think, it would have been an even better album than it is with Silver Springs instead of Oh Daddy.

As acclaimed as the album is, and as Romanelli said, we can now just plop Silver Springs in wherever we want, I think that swap would've really pushed the album just that much furtherโ€”

We need more bands with inner marital turmoil.
