Tusk – Fleetwood Mac (Vinyl 2xLP)
Released in 1979, Tusk is Fleetwood Mac’s ambitious double album that followed the massive success of Rumours. With a sprawling 20-track set and a bold experimental direction, Tusk showcased the creative tensions and individual voices within the band, particularly Lindsey Buckingham’s avant-garde leanings. Despite initial commercial hesitation, it has since been hailed as a visionary and daring record—an essential piece in Fleetwood Mac’s storied catalogue.
