One of the best selling albums of all time, Fleetwood Mac's, "Rumours" was released. The LP spent 31 weeks at the top of the US album chart on the strength of the singles, "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop" and "You Make Loving Fun", all of which hit the US Top 10. As of February 2023, "Rumours" had sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the fifth best-selling album of the 1970s, and the 9th best-selling album of all time.

Fun fact, it's mandatory for every vinyl collection to have a copy of Rumours. When you first start collecting vinyl, the government will mail you a copy of this album for free.

God dammit, I paid for mine! I assume I can itemize it on my taxes and claim the Fleetwood Deduction?

Ha! I wish I would have known this, since I literally just ordered this vinyl last night. Although, I've had my turntable for about 10 years now, and never received a record in the mail. I must have slipped through the cracks.

I'm being called out here, I added Rumors LP to an order last night. All I got was free shipping though, so that's rough.

I just ordered it last night too! What a small world.

I already have The Doors album, and I was kind of disappointed with it. Idk why, but it sounds rather flat compared to the CD. Maybe I got a bad pressing or something, but it's the flattest vinyl I own.

Small world indeed.

Thanks for the tip on The Doors album. I have a French pressing of The Doors Absolutely Live, and it sounds awful. On top of being flat age was not kind to it, and it sounds like it's been rubbed on a cheese grater, so much static crackle, despite looking mostly fine.
