Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night

Tango In The Night is the fourteenth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, originally released in April 1987 via Warner Bros. Records.

The music of Fleetwood Mac could fairly be said to define the 1970s – in all its style, tumult, and excess.  Artistically and commercially, the Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham/Mick Fleetwood/Christine and John McVie edition of Fleetwood Mac had been on a roll for over a decade when Tango In The Night was released in early 1987. This would, unfortunately, be Buckingham's last album with the pop/rock supergroup, until 1997’s reunion on the live album The Dance.

With Tango In The Night, the band embraced the 1980s and created an album for all time.  Buckingham definitely ended that association with the band on a creative high note. Serving as the album's main producer, Buckingham gives an edgy quality to everything from the haunting "Isn't It Midnight" to the poetic "Seven Wonders" to the dreamy "Everywhere".

Though Buckingham doesn't over-produce, his thoughtful use of synthesizers is a major asset. Without question, "Family Man" and "Caroline" are among the best songs ever written by Buckingham, who consistently brings out the best in his colleagues on this superb album. Christine McVie contributed the classic hit song “Little Lies” and Stevie Nicks contributed some wonderful songs such as “Seven Wonders”, “Welcome To The Room…Sara” and “When I See You Again”.

To celebrate the album’s 30^th Anniversary, the album has been remastered and reissued in various formats with additional material. One thing is clear listening to this revitalized Tango In The Night – that these rock-and-roll survivors could put aside their differences to come together and create something vital.  This Tango is as mysterious and beguiling as ever.

This LP record is the 30^th Anniversary Edition 2017 reissue on 180 gram with a printed inner sleeve and remastered audio, pressed in Europe.
