Recently I've been converting some of my vinyl collection to CD and Mp3's, most albums in the collection I know well, but some like this one I'm less familiar with - WOW - made my day/week when I played this - I can't get some of the tracks out of my brain - guess it has the 'OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST' SYNDROME - this is well worth checking out if you have it in your collection - Have a great day/week smile
OOI its 34 years old - where has all the time gonefrown

Tusk Fleetwood Mac Big disappointment Title Track and Sarah only decent tracks on it.

Homosapien Pete Shelley ditto.
I had similar feelings I think Xmas 1979. It just wasn't what I thought it would be like.
Its been documented since about it being a Lindsey Buckingham heavily influenced record.
I have virtually all (no, I have all) the albums by all incarnations of Fleetwood Mac since I first saw them in the 60s.
Tusk as a double LP for me was a 'meh, no' time. I still have it, thought I'd sold it. Probably the least played LP of all music I've ever owned.
'Sara' was about the best track but bettered when released as a single and shortened by two mins from its long (almost six and a half mins!).
For me there's some fantastic tracks on Tusk, namely, Sara, Storms, Sisters Of The Moon, Angel, Beautiful Child.
Notably all Nicks' songs.
I just listened to the whole album again earlier to see if I'd change my mind. Those other 4 you mention are good yeah, but nowhere near what I rate as her best recordings, and as this is about Tusk, that's still only 5 tracks out of that whole album (and a double album at that).

I love Nicks' Fleetwood Mac songs. But I think any, any, of Nicks' own solo albums (not Fleetwood Mac ones) beat Tusk, hands down.
Bella Donna, her first, was brilliant. Every track. She's a star in own right.
And still is, even considering she'll be 71 in May.
Roll on Wembley, June 16th.

The Nicks songs are always the stand-out songs on any FM album for me. She just has this talent of writing beautiful songs. Even on the Buckingham Nicks album, it's her songs which stand out, as well as Frozen Love (both credited). I saw her in the Birmingham NEC on her solo tour in 1989 and luckily, was fairly close to the stage..

Cracking album. thumbup

Still have my purple vinyl limited edition copy - with poster!

Not sure why though, as I got rid of most of my vinyl. Maybe I thought it'd be worth something.

Avoure - Aura

Nice little electronic number, down tempo. Think quiet underground bar, or late night driving song rather than club banger.

Just found this. Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved.

https://youtu.be/bCuhuePlP8o

Peter Capaldi (2nd cousin once removed, they had only met once before) in the video, also advertising 'Live Life Give Life' organ donation charity. Quite dusty.

This is like Underworld of 20 years ago. Engaging,takes you away. I hope there's an album of equal quality.
