'Fleetwood Mac' Album: Deluxe Edition Announced fleetwood-mac-1975-classic-lp-be-reissued-bonus-tracks

'Fleetwood Mac': 1975 Classic LP To Be Reissued With Bonus Tracks

Facebook Twitter Email
Reissue to feature a variety of extras, including the original album remastered, alternate outtakes and live tracks

It's technically not a debut album, but as far as Fleetwood Mac are concerned, it's the LP that gave birth to a historic lineup.

Released in 1975, Fleetwood Mac will be given a special reissue treatment this coming January. The album — the first to feature the quintet Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks — featured the hits and live staples "Landslide" (Nicks), "Rhiannon" (Nicks), "Monday Morning" (Buckingham), and "Over My Head" (Christine McVie). 

Dropping Jan. 29, the reissue will be available in several formats, including a deluxe edition featuring three CDs, a DVD and a vinyl LP. An expanded two-CD version will also be released, as will a single disc featuring a remastered version of the original album. The remastered version will also be available digitally and on streaming services. 

The expanded versions will contain a complete alternate version of the album made up entirely of previously unreleased outtakes and 1976 live recordings. 

Fleetwood Mac — which was followed by 1977's blockbuster, Rumours — was the group's first LP to top the Billboard 200. The album was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2016.

The reissue precedes Fleetwood Mac receiving the MusiCares Person of the Year honor on Jan. 26 in New York City. The GRAMMY Week gala will feature a tribute concert with performances by Haim, OneRepublic, Harry Styles, John Legend, Lorde, and Keith Urban. 

For more information on purchasing VIP ticket packages to the event, contact Dana Tomarken at MusiCares at 310.581.8727. Individual tickets for mezzanine seats are on-sale to the general public via Ticketmaster.

The GRAMMY Hall Of Fame-inducted album is slated for a deluxe-reissue treatment to honor its 40th anniversary

Six-time GRAMMY-winning classic-rock band the Eagles may have countless hits to their name, but they are arguably most universally known for the title track to their hugely successful 1976 album, Hotel California.

The album (GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, 2008) is set to receive a 40th-anniversary reissue next month, and will come packaged along with a suite of 10 additional tracks recorded live at a 1976 show at The Forum in Los Angeles. A deluxe edition package will also be available, containing additional high-resolution stereo and 5.1 remasters of the LP, along with a book of previously unpublished photos.

The album's second track, "New Kid In Town," sung by the late Glenn Frey, earned Best Arrangement For Voices honors at the 20th GRAMMY Awards. The now-iconic title track (GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, 2003) won the band the GRAMMY for Record Of The Year and the album snagged nominations for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance. However, the band famously no-showed because they didn't think they had a chance of winning, as The Hollywood Reporter revealed in 2016.

Following a touching tribute to the late Frey at the 58th GRAMMY Awards, show producer Ken Ehrlich and Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow stopped the band from leaving the stage in order to present them their Record Of The Year GRAMMY statuettes, which had gone unclaimed since 1977.

The Hotel California 40th-anniversary package will be available on Nov. 24.

"To me, Prince is music. To love Prince is to love music," "Let's Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Tribute To Prince" host Maya Rudolph said as the GRAMMY special aired on Tuesday, April 21. "He said so much, so well, for so long, and then was gone too soon."

On the fourth anniversary of the seven-time GRAMMY winner and cultural icon's death, the Recording Academy and some very special celebrity friends celebrated his life and musical treasure trove. The shimmering Prince tribute concert, "Let's Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute To Prince," featured powerhouse numbers from Foo Fighters, Beck, Common, Earth, Wind & Fire, H.E.R., Mavis Staples, St. Vincent, John Legend, Miguel, Coldplay's Chris Martin, the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs and many more. The latter pair sang a stripped-down piano rendition of "Manic Monday," the Bangles' hit penned by Prince, while Dave Grohl led the Foo Fighters in a rocked-up covers of "Pop Life" and "Darling Nikki," the latter complete with growls and shrieks.

Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Sheila E. served as musical directors for the show, and all performed during it. Jam and Lewis, who got their start as part of Prince-formed act the Time, brought the moves with that classic group, while Sheila served up her epic drumming during the majority of numbers, as the bandleader of the powerhouse backing band. Prince's very own GRAMMY-winning backing band The Revolution also served up major purple realness during the show, performing "Delirious" with Rudolph and her duo Princess, "Purple Rain" with Staples and a joyful, star-studded finale of "Baby I'm a Star."

In case you missed its airing on CBS/CBS All Access, or in case you couldn't Shazam some of the deeper cuts quickly enough, let's take a trip back to a time filled with "Purple Rain," before the coronavirus crisis stopped us all in our tracks (the show was safely and miraculously taped before the pandemic rocked the States).

H.E.R. Celebrates No. 1 Influence Prince

Opening the festivities were fellow GRAMMY winners and guitarists Gary Clark Jr. and H.E.R., who performed the night's titular bop, "Let's Go Crazy." The "Hard Place" singer rocked a fabulously shiny, iridescent white jumpsuit with a color-coordinating electric guitar, while the "This Land" artist stylishly contrasted her in a matte black suit and brown woodgrain guitar.

Next up was R&B angel Miguel, who brought sexy, Princely swagger—complete with white lace and eyeliner—to Purple Rain track "I Would Die 4 U."

John Legend Performs "Nothing Compares 2 U"

"He set the stage for all of us who follow," said EGOT-winner Legend, who wore a fierce, fitted dark grey suit. He sang a rousing rendition of "Nothing Compares 2 U," Prince's GRAMMY-nominated song originally performed by Sinead O'Connor.

GRAMMY-winning polymath St. Vincent followed, donning a lavender ruffled bodysuit and white go-go boots. Before she calmly slayed "Controversy," she told a story of Prince attending one of her shows, which "scared her to death." "Prince's music means so much to all of us," she added.

Juanes Takes Us Back To "1999" In Prince's Honor At "Let's Go Crazy: The GRAMMY Salute To Prince"

GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY winner Juanes, wearing a maroon crushed velvet top, rocked out with a lively rendition of "1999." The Colombian rock star was introduced by the Purple One's longtime friend, Naomi Campbell. He was followed by another song from H.E.R., this time with dancer and Prince collaborator, Misty Copeland. Her gorgeous dance moves brought a powerful energy to H.E.R.'s electric performance of "The Beautiful Ones." Sitting at a space-age white Roland piano, H.E.R. hit alll the high notes with a commanding, graceful power.

Next on deck during the show was another act featuring beautifully articulated choreography, this time by FKA Twigs and Usher, from their slick 2020 GRAMMY performance (watch above) of "Little Red Corvette," When Doves Cry" and "Kiss." Martin and Hoffs brought us back down to earth with lovely duet of "Manic Monday," with Martin playing the piano.

Not wanting to keep the audience in their seats too long, Morris Day, Jam, Lewis and The Time brought the energy back up with a medley of some of The Time's biggest bops written by Prince: "Jungle Love," "Cool" and "The Bird." They all still dance like it's 1984 and Ice Cream Castle just hit the airwaves—apparently an active diet of Prince music keeps you young and fresh.

Dave Grohl Tells The Story Of Jamming With Prince

Dave Grohl, meanwhile, shared a story (watch the clip above) about the time he jammed with Prince in an empty L.A. Forum. He also spoke about how Foo Fighters used to perform "Darling Nikki" in their early days. Their hard-rocking slayage of the sexually explicit Purple Rain track was the first time they'd played it in over 20 years. Host Rudolph then kicked it over to the legendary GRAMMY winning-soul group Earth, Wind & Fire for a rolicking cover of Sign 'O the Times cut "Adore."

GRAMMY-winning rapper/actor/activist Common followed with a modern update on the 1987 album's socially charged title track, "Sign O' The Times."

Next, GRAMMY-winning alt-rock stalwart Beck sang ubiquitous Prince catalog classic, "Raspberry Beret," complete with the music video's cartoon clouds dancing in the background.

Clark Jr. returned to the stage for a special duet with Sheila E., of another Sign 'O the Times deep cut, "The Cross."

Comedian/actor/musician Fred Armisen then took the stage to introduce the evening's true star, Sheila E., who'd already changed into another bold ook. She then led a medley of "America," "Free" and "The Glamorous Life," tracks she recorded with the icon himself.

Armisen returned to introduce one his "best friends," Maya Rudolph, who'd also changed into another look for her performance with her Prince cover band, Princess, who slayed "Delirious" with The Revolution, Prince's powerhouse backing band.

The Revolution stuck around to rock out with the one and only Staples for a incredibly moving rendition of "Purple Rain." Finally, they lead a packed stage for a very star-studded, lively take of "Baby I'm a Star," bringing out all the amazing performers who channeled Prince's royal energy during the show.

GRAMMY Rewind: Watch Paul McCartney Accept The GRAMMY For Best Original Score At The 1971 GRAMMYs

Facebook Twitter Email
In the latest edition of GRAMMY Rewind, 18-time GRAMMY winner Paul McCartney accepts the GRAMMY for Best Original Score Written For A Motion Picture Or A Television Special for the 1970 Beatles documentary, 'Let It Be,' at the 13th GRAMMY Awards in 1971

While The Beatles are beloved around the world for their eternal music and forever-classic songs, the English rock icons are also celebrated for their visuals. Their early work in concert and promotional films surrounding their singles and albums are largely credited with birthing the concept of music videos, which would eventually give rise to TV networks like MTV. Their groundbreaking approach to curating music to image, and vice versa, has secured their stance as pioneers in both music and film. It's why, in addition to winning eight career GRAMMYs, with 24 nominations overall, The Beatles also count an Academy Award, the film industry's GRAMMY equivalent, on their wide-spanning résumés. 

In May 1970, The Beatles released Let It Be, an all-time favorite within the group's discography. To accompany the project, the band released a documentary of the same name, which chronicles the making and recording of Let It Be and also includes the act's iconic unannounced rooftop concert, their final public performance as The Beatles.

Let It Be, both the film and the album, would become a bittersweet entry in the Beatles' saga. As the group's final album, with the film counterpart marking their last original release as The Beatles, Let It Be would go on to make major waves, going multiplatinum in and topping several charts around the world. 

Let It Be also had a huge presence at the 13th GRAMMY Awards, held in 1971. Let It Be notched four GRAMMY nominations that year, including Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Contemporary Song for the title track, as well as Best Contemporary Vocal Performance By A Duo, Group Or Chorus for the album itself.

While Let It Be, the album, did not win any GRAMMYs that year, the film's soundtrack took home the golden gramophone for Best Original Score Written For A Motion Picture Or A Television Special. (One month later, in April 1971, the film's soundtrack won the Oscar for Best Original Song Score.) 

Accepting the award at the 1971 GRAMMYs, held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, a smiling, stylish Paul McCartney—alongside his then-wife Linda McCartney, who died 22 years ago today (April 17)—kept his speech short and sweet: "Thank you, goodnight." 

In 2004, 34 years after its original release, "Let It Be," the song, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, forever solidifying the accompanying track, album, film and soundtrack in GRAMMY and Beatles history.
