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 best results, you should apply the same care in storing and handling the Compact Disc as with conventional records.
No furher 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.

Review written by Jon the Moonspinner, February 17th, 2010
With each member of the band embroiled in some kind of romantic controversy--mainly with other band members--"Rumours" sprouted up raw from inner-dissent and disenchantment. Stevie was once quoted: "It was the coolest thing in the world that we got through it--that one of us didn't just get up and walk out the door, never to return." They still play these songs on the radio today (2010), and they neither sound dated from time-passed nor fatigued through overplay. Nearly every song is a highlight: the passionate arena rock of "Go Your Own Way", the celebratory banner-waver "Don't Stop", the intimate "Dreams" (no.#1 on the singles charts), the groovy "You Make Loving Fun", the dissolute "Oh Daddy", the giddy but internally conflicted "I Don't Want To Know", the very pure and bright "Songbird", the randy opener "Second Hand News", the introspective "Never Going Back Again", and the gloriously funky "Gold Dust Woman". That leaves us with "The Chain", which was patched together piece by piece in the studio and never quite lifts off. "Silver Springs" was left off for lack of room and first appeared as the B-side to the first single "Go Your Own Way" (which should have hit #1 but surprisingly did not). A fabulous achievement in rock music, deserving of its praise then as now.
The Very Best Album EVER in the History Of Rock
Review written by Anil, October 30th, 2006
This is an essential part of any true rock music collection. It is a jewel. I actually got into this album when I was 29 years old, having loved Tango much more when it came out (I was a teen at the time)
This album however is sublime. Every song is meaningful, keeping in mind what the band was going through at the time it was made. EVERY time I hear Songbird I choke up.
It is difficult to decide which is my favourite song on the album OR which is my least favourite, which is what makes it so brilliant.
30 years on it is is still as fresh and inspiring as it ever was.
For a more on this album you must check out Classic Albums - Rumours on dvd. It'll make you love the album AND the band all the more.
AWESOME!!!
Review written by Donnie Swinton, January 30th, 2006
Go FM!!! Definitely one of the best albums ever made!!! And it was such a struggle for the band to make! At some points they had no idea they were going to have to remake masters of some of the songs. I have the version that includes Stevie's "Silver Springs", which is absolutely wonderful. The album flows very well and all the songs can get stuck in your head at any time. I love "I Don't Want To Know", "Songbird","Oh Daddy" and "The Chain" is one of my all time favorite songs. They are all wonderful, but I have become quite fond of some of the songs that were not released as singles. "Gold Dust Woman" is a great song to end the album, with its rocking outro and Stevie's wails. Just fantastic.

The new lineup that Fleetwood Mac successfully unveiled with their eponymous 1975 album became even more successful with the multi-platinum Rumours, which was the band's most celebrated album and one of the best-selling albums of all time. To be sure, this was a very different-sounding Fleetwood Mac than the blues-rock outfit of the late '60s -- and this edition of the band generally wasn't well received by rock critics, who tend to be critical of all things commercial. But as commercial and slick as Rumours is, the music has a lot of heart, and never comes across as insincere. From Christine McVie's optimistic "Don't Stop" (which President Bill Clinton used as his campaign theme song in 1992) to Lindsey Buckingham's remorseful "Go Your Own Way," Rumours is conistently memorable. In fact, the folk-ish "Gold Dust Woman" (covered by Courtney Love and Hole in 1996) and the melancholy hit "Dreams" made it quite clear just how much depth and substance Stevie Nicks was capable of. (Alex Henderson, All-Music Guide)
Charts Peak : US #1 (Apr 1977), UK #1 (Jan 1978)
RIAA Certification : Album - Multi-Platinum (18 million, 4/06/98)
Third-highest certified single-disc U.S. album.
This album has also been released on DVD-Audio format.
The liner notes for the 2nd US CD reissue (1988) of this album indicate that the album was mixed at Producer's Workshop, Hollywood, California. However, the liner notes of the original UK CD reissue of the album indicate that the album was mixed at Sound City, Van Nuys, California and the Record Plant, Los Angeles, California. Perhaps one is referring to a CD mix and the other the original album mix(?)
