If the 2 minute musical intro was a problem, they could have tried editing it. Some comments: - Two what extent was Lindsey involved/not involved in the track selection? Do we know if he had any involvement back in 1988 for Greatest Hits? - So when Lindsey is in the band they release greatest hits packages with the band's photo on the cover, and when Lindsey isn't in the band they use abstract designs of flowers or animals or tattoos. - I like that "Fireflies" was included; at the same time, I absolutely hate that it was included given the current context. |
Lame ..and no new songs . 25 years The Chain had 3. This incarnation of Fleetwood Mac is a creatively bankrupt cash grab unit.
|
And of course the songs released between Greatest Hits and Time are either Stevie or Christine tunes.
|
Ohh but it's a new band!
It would of been more interesting to have them spend a month in the studio re-cutting some of the older blues tunes in a refreshed way with the new band. That would require effort. |
Oh darn.. no Stand Back :(
What were they thinking? *just teasing* ;) |
This comp looks pretty good, plus it's actually going to get a vinyl release unlike the overrated Chain boxset.
|
Songs on the trailer..
Well, this is a little bit refreshing: Don't Stop, Hypnotized, Station Man, Sentimental Lady, Sands of Time, The Chain... If the middle four of those made into the set, however briefly, that would be cool...I'm not holding my breath, though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRM1dhdRCc4 |

Looks like a big waste of money. :blob1:

I like that this collection is more organized than "25 Years - The Chain". The tracks on this new set are in chronological order, and it'll be nice to hear the progression of the band.
I'd have liked to see more of the material from the 1971-74 period here, though I'm happy to have "Emerald Eyes" included. Also would have liked more from Behind The Mask and Time, though if there could only be one song from the latter, "I Do" represents it well. I'm very happy to see "Fireflies" here, though the live version of "Never Going Back Again", is sure to be skipped by me. I'll check out "Sad Angel", as I've never heard it before. |
Basically, it’s just the singles.
The only changes I’d make: Emerald Eyes -> For Your Love (single) or Miles Away (better song, not a cover) Monday Morning -> I’m So Afraid NGBA -> IKINW And, I’d drop all of the above for new material. |

I think essentially what we have here is an A-sides collection. For all the comparisons with the Chain box set, this one gives the Bob Welch era a much better representation.
A few changes I’d make: Monday Morning > I’m So Afraid Second Hand News > Songbird The live Never Going Back Again I would jettison along with I Do which wasn’t even Chris’s best song on Time. I think Blow By Blow would actually do well in theee in the version originally recorded for the 1994 World Cup compilation. Then I’d probably include Love That Burns as Mr Wonderful is the only one of the 17 studio albums not represented here. |
