Mirage (Expanded Edition)

This new edition expands on the original album with newly remastered sound, a selection of rare and unreleased recordings, as well as the stories and pictures behind the album.

The deluxe edition includes a second disc that has 19 tracks dedicated entirely to outtakes and rarities. Among the unreleased gems are early versions of several album tracks - 'Empire State' and 'Book Of Love' - along with outtakes for songs that didn't make it to the album: 'If You Were My Love' and 'Smile At You.' There is also an unreleased cover of the Fats Domino classic 'Blue Monday,' as well as the rare, extended mix for 'Gypsy' that was used in the music video.

After the experimental approach taken on their previous record, Tusk, Fleetwood Mac returned to the pop songcraft of Rumours. With a slick production reflecting the prevailing trends of the time, 1982's Mirage reconfirmed the band as one of the biggest selling acts of the 20th century. Spending 5 weeks at the peak of the Billboard 200, the songwriting duties again evenly spread. Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie all saw their songs become hit singles with "Oh Diane", "Gypsy" and "Hold Me" all becoming radio staples within the 12 months following the album release.
