Two reviews of the new release(s) of the Buckingham/Nicks album, with opposing opinions


 

I watched this one first, from well known Vinyl Community content provider (video poster) Mike from Arizona retail store The In Groove:

I then watched this one, from audiophile reviewer Scott of The Pressing Matters:

Scott details the makeup of his hi-fi system, Mike does not. But if you’ve watched Mike’s videos over the years you probably know of what it is comprised (McIntosh electronics, big Wilson Audio loudspeakers and subs. I don’t remember his turntable/arm/cartridge). Beside differences in systems and room acoustics, the tastes of Mike and Scott in regards to the sound of reproduced music surely contributes to their difference of opinion regarding the various versions of the album (Mike compares four, Scott two). It doesn’t matter to me, as I don’t care for the album, and have no intention of buying any version of it.

How ’bout you?

Rhino version is great recording whether you’re a fan or not.

 

The only opinion that matters is yours..  Remember YouTube is about putting out content good/ bad , right /wrong.  Truthfully it’s meaningless. Just like this post of mine.

I had the original LP album, didn't like it then, don't like it now. They got better with experience.

 

The Buckingham/Nicks lineup of Fleetwood Mac is for many their favorite, for others it’s the original Peter Green lineup. For me it’s The Danny Kirwin/Jeremy Spencer (with Christine McVie somewhat involved) era, which produced only one album: Kiln House, my favorite of all of theirs. That may be a minority opinion. The one lineup I REALLY don’t like is the one with Bob Welch.
