Review: This special double LP, released for RSD Black Friday, offers a curated selection of Fleetwood Mac tracks pulled from their Super Deluxe releases. Featuring 14 songs, the album spans live performances from the Tusk, Rumours, and Mirage tours, presenting a distilled and impactful listening experience. This version still has a great balance of lesser known tracks with classics like 'The Chain,' and the haunting 'Gold Dust Woman.' The second disk breaks even more classics with 'Hold Me, and 'Songbird'. While there has been the reunion tour releases in the 2000s, there hasn't been a release that promotes their tours of the day like this release has.

Review: Foreigner's upcoming compilation, Turning Back the Time, is a nostalgic journey through the band's illustrious career, featuring 18 tracks that span their greatest hits and an exciting new addition. The compilation, timed to coincide with the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, includes classics like 'Feels Like the First Time', 'Cold As Ice' and 'Juke Box Hero,' showing the band's signature blend of rock and melodic strength. The jam packed collection also features a special surprise with the previously unreleased track 'Turning Back the Time'. This fresh cut, co-written by Mick Jones and Marti Frederiksen, is a reflective ode that looks back on the journey of growing up and the impact of music. With a vibrant melody and heartfelt lyrics, it resonates deeply, especially in light of Jones' recent health challenges. Also featured are timeless hits like 'Hot Blooded' and 'I Want to Know What Love Is', alongside lesser-known gems like 'Girl on the Moon'. Overall, a worthy collection that can be otherwise called a greatest hits album.
