Fleetwood Mac – Tusk (2xLP)

Despite having extra-large shoes to fill as the follow-up to the group's landmark 1977 release Rumours and an unprecedented $1 million recording budget, Fleetwood Mac's ambitious and experimental 1979 double album Tusk further showcased the songwriting prowess and musical direction of Lindsey Buckingham and chart dominance with the title track and "Sara." Drawing comparisons to the Beatles' White Album for its artistic scope and sprawling nature, the wonderfully eclectic and drug induced Tusk may not have been as commercially viable as Rumours, but it's no matter. The album stands as a brave and uncompromising statement from a band with one of the most intriguing interpersonal dynamics of all-time. And as Priya Elan of NME aptly noted, "The subversion of what was expected after 'Rumours' and the creative space it created also gave the band (and primarily Buckingham) reason to continue making music in Fleetwood Mac for the next decade."

Fleetwood Mac's legendary album Tusk, originally released released in October 1979, sold 4 million copies and was And was certified gold in Germany and France, went platinum in the UK, the Netherlands and New Zealand Platinum in the UK, Netherlands and New Zealand, and 2X Platinum in the USA.

The band toured internationally with this album over a period of 9 months and visited the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. Key tracks include "Sara", "Tusk" and "Think About Me."
