It is not the case with Isn’t It Midnight from Tango In The Night which is very obviously different from the master studio version, and begs the question when are Rhino going to reissue that album as an expanded deluxe edition?Ģ5 Years: The Chain is out now. They are noted below in the track listing, although many of them are very similar to the originals, and non-fanatics might struggle to tell the difference.
One of the attractions of this box was the inclusion of some ‘alternate takes’.

This four disc box set remains an excellent overview of the band since around 1974, but fans of the earlier years featuring Bob Welch and Peter Green are likely to feel a little shortchanged with too much emphasis on the Buckingham/Nicks albums. Fleetwood Mac have only released two rather inessential albums since it came out – 1995’s Time (the first FM album since 1974 not to feature either Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham) and 2003’s Say You Will, which lacked the voice and songwriting skills of Christine McVie, who left the band in 1998.

The Fleetwood Mac box set 25 Years: The Chain was originally released in November 1992.
