Album Introduction
Rumours is the eleventh studio album by Fleetwood Mac — Mick Fleetwood (drums), John McVie (bass), Christine McVie (keyboards and vocals), Stevie Nicks (vocals) and Lindsey Buckingham (guitar and vocals) — released in February 1977 on Warner Bros. Records and produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The album reached No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Recorded during the breakup of two couples within the band — Nicks and Buckingham, and the McVies — the album's emotional directness and lyrical candour give it a dramatic intensity that has made it one of the most critically acclaimed and enduring albums in rock history. Dreams reached US No. 1 (1977), Don't Stop reached US No. 3 (1977), Go Your Own Way reached US No. 10 (1977) and You Make Loving Fun reached US No. 9 (1977). The Chain — the only track credited to all five members — became the band's signature ensemble piece and later achieved cultural immortality as the Formula 1 theme music. This is a vinyl reissue of the original 1977 album.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Dreams — The band's only US No. 1 single and one of the most immediately beautiful and emotionally resonant recordings in the Fleetwood Mac catalogue; Stevie Nicks's vocal is completely assured and the production gives the song a warm, atmospheric quality that has made it one of the most enduring recordings of the 1970s. US No. 1 (1977).
- Go Your Own Way — Lindsey Buckingham's driving, rock-influenced track and one of the most immediately energetic and commercially dominant recordings on the album; its combination of a driving, rhythmically confident production and Buckingham's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained energy and emotional directness. US No. 10 (1977).
- The Chain — The only track credited to all five members and one of the most atmospherically distinctive and dramatically powerful recordings on the album; its combination of a driving, layered production, the band's ensemble vocal harmonies and John McVie's famous bass line gives it a sustained dramatic tension that later achieved cultural immortality as the Formula 1 theme music.
- Don't Stop — Christine McVie's optimistic, mid-tempo pop-rock track and one of the most immediately accessible and commercially effective recordings on the album; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and McVie's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. US No. 3 (1977).
- Gold Dust Woman — The album's closing track and one of its most atmospherically distinctive and sonically adventurous; Stevie Nicks's vocal is completely unguarded and the production gives the song a dark, atmospheric quality that provides the album with a conclusion of genuine emotional weight.
