Album Number Four Hundred Fifty Three “Rumours” is the eleventh studio album by #fleetwoodmac , released on 4 Feb 1977 by #warnerbrosrecords . Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The recording sessions took place in the aftermath of several relationship breakups among its members in addition to heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's direction. My copy is on Warner Bros Records - BSK 3010. (with a gatefold insert) Recorded with the intention of making "a pop album" that would expand on the commercial success of their self-titled 1975 album, the music of #rumoursoffleetwoodmac is characterized by a mix of electric and acoustic instrumentation, accented rhythms, guitars and keyboards, while its lyrics concern personal and often troubled relationships. Often considered Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus, Rumours has frequently been cited as one of the greatest albums of all time. In 2018, it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or artistically significant" by the Library of Congress. #theseventies #johnmcvie #stevienicks #mickfleetwood #lindsaybuckingham #christinemcvie #rockandroll #poprockmusic #rumours https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9enIxOpu6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
