Editorial Reviews
Product description
A liner portrait of the big Mac, then coming off the commercial bonanza of Rumours, shows them looking anxiously at guitarist, singer, songwriter, and de facto auteur Lindsey Buckingham, a moment given weight by the sprawling ambitions behind this 1979 double album. Buckingham's superb sense of pop craft had catapulted the once blues-based rockers into multiplatinum ubiquity, and he responded not with a safe return to form but with an invitation for his songwriting partners to chase their respective muses. Comparisons to the Beatles' White Album abounded and remain apt: Stevie Nicks twirls dreamily through extended variations on her crystal visions, Christine McVie turns in a reliably fine set of sunny pop-rock cruisers and tender ballads, and Mick Fleetwood and John McVie sustain their reputation as one of rock's most powerful yet deft rhythm sections. Buckingham provides the wild cards, in largely self-recorded plunges into his own skittish psyche, culminating in the massive title song, beefed up by the University of Southern California's marching band, but more cannily in dreamy music-box exercises ("That's All for Everyone") and sudden bursts of gonzo, fuzz-toned rock ("That's Enough for Me"). Better than its detractors thought upon release, Tusk was a brave platinum "failure" that actually charts where subsequent Mac and Buckingham projects would go. --Sam Sutherland

Coming off the success of Rumours, the band was led by Lindsey Buckingham to approach their next project much differently. With the punk movement happening, Buckingham felt they really needed to change their game in order to stay relevant, and was really adamant the next project should not be a Rumours II. That next project became the lavishly packaged, 20 track, double LP Tusk.
I, as many others at the time, was initially regretful of my purchase. This album just did not hit me like Rumours did. It was a little bit of a departure from the music I had heard from this band just two years prior, and it did take a while to grow on me. And, over time, I have become to like Tusk every bit as much as Rumours. It could only be sweetened by a proper re-issue with bonus material.
At the end of 2015, deluxe editions of Tusk were, indeed, released with bonus material: a 5 disc set, which also included a vinyl copy, and a 3 disc set. I just went for the 3 disc edition as I found a good price for it. While there was a 2004 reissue with extra material, this 3 disc set is quite a bit different. The first disc is the original album remastered. The second disc contains some radio edits, roughs, and outtakes. The interesting part of this second disc is two particular songs ("Tusk" and "I Know I'm Not Wrong") that are presented over several takes, revealing the progression up to what the tracks ultimately became. I enjoy hearing early takes, and was quite impressed with the inclusion of this material.
However, the third disc is what really prompted me to write about this set. The third disc contains alternate versions of every song, and in the same running order as the original album. It is titled as the "The Alternate Tusk," and I absolutely love this disc. It's like a whole new experience with this album. There aren't any major changes in the song structures, but the different instrumentation, different vocals, or different feel is so enjoyable. In a few songs, I do like the alternates somewhat better, but I love listening to both the original and alternate Tusk discs.
Three particular standout alternate tracks are: Stevie Nicks' "Storms," Lindsey Buckingham's "Walk A Thin Line," and Christine McVie's "Brown Eyes." Stevie's "Storms" feels so much more emotional, if that's even possible for this melancholic song. Lindsey's guitar accompaniment on the alternate "Walk A Thin Line" totally changes the feel of this song. And Christine's alternate version of "Brown Eyes" is probably the most different from original release, and even includes session guitar from legendary Fleetwood Mac founder, Peter Green.
I've enjoyed hearing outtakes and alternate tracks in the reissues of past albums by other artists over the years, but those 'bonus' discs, or added tracks, usually don't get much play. However, this particular 'bonus' disc presented as a whole alternate album is fantastic, and I have been listening to it quite regularly. It really got me thinking it would be so cool to hear other classic albums in this way. If you like Fleetwood Mac, I encourage you to check out the expanded edition of Tusk.
I certainly do hope to see the Mac before they finally call it quits, especially since they got Christine McVie back from retirement. Still waiting on that next new album...

As this is 2014, and I tend to put everything I buy on my iPod, I ran into a problem when I tried to rip this into iTunes on my Windows laptop. All of the tracks were coated in a thick layer of static, buzzing like a fridge or a detuned radio, if you will. However, the CDs would play perfectly in either of my two stereos.
So I took to the internet and found that other people had had similar problems with other CDs from this time period, and many people seemed to have trouble with Warner CDs in particular. The copy I received from a third-party seller on Amazon (Amazon itself apparently only sells CD-R versions of this album?) was an E.U. version, where this practice may have been more widespread. (I have never had this problem before with any other CDs, Warner or otherwise.)
Anyway, I tried the CDs again in my Windows desktop which just happens to have a built-in DVD-RW/CD-RW drive, whereas my laptop has a "DVD Multi Recorder" drive, and was able to rip the tracks successfully, burn them to two blank discs, re-rip on my laptop, and I was back in business.
Apparently, the most common, recommended workarounds are to use an external DVD/CD drive, a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive, to rip with a Mac (this problem only seems to affect Windows users), or to download DVD/CD ripping software that can bypass the copy protection. I'm probably paraphrasing a bit; you may want to do your own research.
This "copy protection" actually appears to be some really shady stuff that some record companies were trying to introduce. In fact, once "CDs" receive the copy protection treatment, they can't bear the official Compact Disc logo, because they no longer adhere to the Red Book standard for Compact Discs established all the way back in 1980 by Philips and Sony. Many do, however, have a "Copy Control" logo to indicate the presence of this copy protection. The discs I received had neither a Compact Disc logo or a Copy Control logo, the absence of the Compact Disc logo being the tell-tale sign of this tampering. So...
In summary: This Album is Awesome. This deluxe edition has a nice booklet with an article and lyrics, the bonus tracks are very cool (and not available on iTunes or Amazon mp3), but definitely be prepared to find a workaround if you get a copy protected version.
