   I think the pre-2004 US Rumours discs that contain the added reverb will have RE somewhere in the disc hub. 

I'm not sure if any discs that contain the non-reverb flat master were ever manufactured in the US. Mine is a target disc made in 

Germany and there is also another one made in Japan.

	I found a few files of "Go Your Own Way" from various Rumours releases. First, one that is unlabeled, and another that is labeled as "Original Not ExtendedRemaster". Both have a rather dull-sounding EQ. One is definitely a digital clone of the other, with an EQ adjustment. Not sure which came out first, but I assume that one is the original release and the other is the "RE-1" reissue. The same analog transfer of one (both?) of these is used on: Warner Bros.' promo Lindsey Buckingham collection Words And Music A Retrospective (1992) - has talking at intro and cuts off opening notes of song; avoid Time-Life's Rolling Stone Collection 1973-1977 (1993) - has left/right channels swapped and fades a little early Next, I have a file from my own collection, which I can confirm is the "RE-2" reissue. The EQ is brighter, with significantly more high end than the earlier releases. The fade extends about two beats longer than the earlier releases. I myself couldn't identify any added reverb over the earlier releases, but I'm not very attuned to reverb. The same analog transfer is used on: Warner Bros.' Greatest Hits (1988) - differently EQ'd digital clone, with even more high end than RE-2 Casino soundtrack (1995) Time-Life's Legends - Get It On (2003) There's a different analog transfer on 25 Years The Chain (1992). The EQ on this set is a little odd, so it's not my first choice for sound quality. The fade extends to the same length as the RE-2 reissue. There's yet another analog transfer on the 2-CD Very Best Of (2002). The EQ has a bit less high end than RE-2, but it's mastered too loud and clips quite a bit. The last time I looked at these tracks, I chose the RE-2 reissue for "Go Your Own Way".

	I pulled my original 1977 Terre Haute pressing of Rumours and my 1977 stock 45s of "Go Your Own Way." I have two different 45 pressings (made at different plants) and both have RE-1 in the matrix. Looking on Discogs, there is a Terre Haute pressing of the 45 without RE-1, but even promo 45s have RE-1 in the deadwax, so I'm not too concerned about what that might mean. In any case, there is no mix difference between the LP and 45 for "Go Your Own Way." They are identical, even down to the fade out. If they had been mixed separately, I would've expected something to stand out or at the very least for the fadeouts to be even just slightly different. Next, I compared the original 1977 vinyl dubs to an "RE-2" CD rip that Ron sent to me a while back. I can absolutely hear added reverb on the intro of the CD. It's very light and subtle, but it's not there on the vinyl. Once the vocal starts, if there is any added reverb it's so buried it becomes inaudible. I spot checked the rest of the song between the vinyl and CD, and I heard no mix differences at all. It appears all that has been done is very, very light reverb added to the CD version, which is really only detectable on the intro of "Go Your Own Way." When time permits, I will try to check additional songs from this particular CD vs. the 1977 LP.

	Doing a quick A/B between the RE-2 CD and the 2004 expanded CD (which LunarLaugh says matches the original vinyl LP), I hear reverb added to: Go Your Own Way The Chain You Make Loving Fun Gold Dust Woman It's definitley noticeable on the intros of these songs, but once the full instrumentation comes in, it's harder to hear. I don't doubt that reverb has been added to all tracks, but because it's very light, it's likely buried on most songs. Still, I'm going to update the database with this info.
