(“rumours” is the 11th studio album by british-american rock band ‘fleetwood mac’)
(largely recorded in ‘california’ during ‘1976’, it was produced by the band with ‘ken caillat’ and ‘richard dashut’ and was released on ‘4 february 1977’ by “warner brothers records”)
(the record reached the top of both the united states Billboard chart and the ‘united kingdom albums chart’)
(the songs “go your own way”, “dreams”, “don’t stop”, and “you make loving fun” were released as singles)
(‘rumours’ is fleetwood mac’s most successful release; along with winning the ‘grammy award’ for “album of the year” in ‘1978’, the album has sold over ’40 million copies’ worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of ‘all time’)
(“rumours” has received ‘diamond certifications’ in several countries, including the ‘US’, ‘canada’, and ‘australia’)
(the band wanted to expand on the commercial success of the 1975 album fleetwood mac, but struggled with ‘relationship breakups’ before recording started)
(the rumours studio sessions were marked by ‘hedonistic behavior’ and ‘interpersonal strife’ among ‘fleetwood mac’ members; these experiences shaped the album’s lyrics)
(influenced by ‘pop music’, the record’s tracks were recorded using a combination of ‘acoustic’ and ‘electric’ instruments)
(the mixing process delayed the completion of rumours, but was finished by the end of ‘1976’)
(following the album’s release in 1977, ‘fleetwood mac’ undertook worldwide promotional tours)
(“rumours” garnered widespread critical acclaim)
(praise centered (NOT “centred”) on its ‘production quality’ and ‘harmonies’, which frequently relied on the interplay among 3 vocalists)
(the record has inspired the work of musical acts in different genres)
(often considered fleetwood mac’s best release, it has featured in several publications’ lists of the “best albums of the 1970s” and the “best albums of all time”)
(in 2004, rumours was remastered and reissued with the addition of an extra track and a bonus CD of outtakes from the recording sessions)
(a 3-CD reissue of the album was released by ‘warner brothers’ on ’29 january 2013′)
(the set included outtakes of songs and concert tracks the band played while on tour in ‘1977’)
