Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 self-titled album is celebrating its 50th anniversary today (July 11, 2025). In conjunction with its 9x Platinum certification by the RIAA, Rhino has announced two new premium audio editions of the recording that ushered in a new era for the band. On August 8, the album, which featured such classic rock favorites as “Over My Head,” “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” will debut in Dolby ATMOS and arrive on vinyl as part of the Rhino High Fidelity series of high-end reissues.

The Blu-ray Audio edition features a new Dolby ATMOS mix by Chris James, delivering a fully immersive experience of this classic album. It also includes a 5.1 surround mix by original producer Ken Caillat and Claus Trelby. It’s available for pre-order in the U.S. here, in Canada here and in the U.K. here.

In 1975, the lineup was so new, even their U.S. label didn’t know who was who!

From the announcement: Released on July 11, 1975, Fleetwood Mac was the band’s tenth studio album and the second named after the group, sharing its title with their 1968 debut. Often referred to by fans as “The White Album,” it also introduced Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks into the group’s lineup, joining Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, and Christine McVie. The chemistry between the five was immediate—and transformative. The album’s sound marked a break from the band’s blues-based roots, pivoting toward a melodic, harmony-rich approach that would come to define a generation of FM radio.

Christine McVie’s “Over My Head” was the first single from the album and the band’s first U.S. Top 20 hit. It was followed by “Rhiannon,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Landslide,” tracks that remain among the most beloved in the band’s catalog. While initial momentum was modest, the album gained traction through constant touring and word of mouth. Fifteen months after its release, Fleetwood Mac reached #1 on the Billboard 200.

In the new liner notes by music journalist Anthony DeCurtis, Buckingham recalls the energy surrounding that period: “I think we all felt that we had grabbed ahold of something and that it was going to take us wherever it was going to take us.” He adds, “It was a great sign that we were destined for something.”
