Fleetwood Mac continued along their ever-rising path from British blues band to international pop superstars with "Mirage," their 1982 #1 smash LP that unleashed three big hits: "Hold Me," "Gypsy" and "Love in Store." The warm sound and beguiling songs of this essential early-’80s pop LP sound so good on the remastered CD here. The second disc in the expanded and deluxe editions boasts 19 rarities, all but two of which are previously unreleased: early versions of "Love in Store," "Book of Love," "Gypsy," "Empire State," "Hold Me," "Oh Diane," an alternate take of "That’s Alright," the outtakes "Teen Beat," "Smile at You," "If You Were My Love," the extended (video) version of "Gypsy" and more. Along with a vinyl copy of the album and a DVD-Audio disc featuring a new 5.1 surround mix and the original stereo mix (96/24) of the album, the deluxe box adds a third CD: a live L.A. performance from the band’s 1982 "Mirage" tour. There you’ll encounter stellar concert performances of songs from "Mirage" as well as "Rumours," "Tusk" and "Fleetwood Mac" (1975): "Gypsy," "Tusk," "Rhiannon," "You Make Loving Fun," "Go Your Own Way," "Love in Store," "The Chain" and more.
