The Compact Disc Digital Audio System offers the best possible sound reproduction - on a small, convenient sound-carrier unit.
The Compact Disc's remarkable performance is the result of a unique combination of digital playback with laser optics. For the best results, you should apply the same care in storing and handling the Compact Disc as with conventional records.
No further cleaning will be necessary if the Compact Disc is always held by the edges and is replaced in its case directly after playing. Should the Compact Disc become soiled by fingerprints, dust or dirt, it can be wiped (always in a straight line, from center to edge) with a clean and lint-free, soft, dry cloth. No solvent or abrasive cleaner should ever be used on the disc. If you follow these suggestions, the Compact Disc will provide a lifetime of pure listening enjoyment.

Comparable to Rumours
Review written by Ferdinand Ortilla, February 6th, 2007
This album is one of the greatest albums for me. Twenty Four Years have passed and I still remember the lyrics to Wish You Were Here, so what do you call that? All the hooks are inspiring, a great musical performance of a great band, I just wish there is a live album that plays everything on Mirage. I have the original LP, I have a cassette and now I have the CD.
Mirage is truly an album which makes me reminice my teenage days.
It's Alright
Review written by Donnie Swinton, February 8th, 2006
Ok. I disagree with the a couple of these reviews. Mirage is a nice album, but it isn't up to Rumours' level. The best songs off this album are "Book Of Love", "Gypsy", "Hold Me", "Oh Diane", and "That's Alright." Other than "Gyspy", "Hold Me" and "That's Alright" - a song going back to Stevie and Lindsey's country roots - nothing really grabs your attention in this album. It doesn't suck, but it's definitely not it's best. Their respective material from Tusk was much better.
Very well done
Review written by Anonymous, November 14th, 2004
I have the album Tusk, and I was curious to what it's follow-up would sound like, so I bought the album Mirage. This is a very good album, and the songs are almost back to Rumours form. Lindsey's vocals on this album are very strong, whereas on Tusk, his voice wasn't as raw sounding as on this album. His songs are a little bit of an improvement over Tusk's, most of all, "Book Of Love." Lindsey's vocals are very raw and strong on this song, and no weird vocal arrangements. All of his songs on this album are very well done and well performed.
Christine McVie's songs are a HUGE improvement over Tusk's, most notably "Love In Store," and "Hold Me," probably the best song on the album next to Gypsy and "Book Of Love." "Hold Me" is a wonderful song with and catchy beat and lyrics. "Love In Store" follows the same format: very uppity and catchy. "Wish You Were Here" is a very nice tender ballad. Stevie's songs are decent, "Straight Back" is nice, and "Gypsy" is wonderful. "That's Allright" is a little lackluster though. It sounds like a country song. Lindsey Buckingham is again the driving force on this album, penning the most songs. This album does show his growth as an artist though. Very good effort from Fleetwood Mac.

"The platinum quintet's first studio album since 1979's ambitious "Tusk" initially invites comparisons to "Rumours" for the newest songs' trim pop/rock arrangements and classic melodic flow. Subsequent listens should make it clear this is anything but a step backward, however: as the production credit reveals, principal "Tusk" architect Lindsey Buckingham shows his evolving skill as arranger and instrumentalist, especially in the gloriously lush vocal charts, which recall the Beach Boys at their most expansive. With "Hold Me" already climbing fast, followup singles futures are also bright, with Christine McVie, Buckingham and Stevie Nicks all contributing some of their strongest songs yet, and a major tour augurs added momentum for late summer and fall."
