Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - 1977
Rumours is a tangled web of personal emotions and with this in mind the front cover seems to fit the story. It might be designed to stretch relationships to a breaking point and maybe it's not. The crystal ball might be another example of this.
Studying the crystal ball held by Mick Fleetwood, the distorted image in it is not that of him and Stevie Nicks as you would expect. It is actually a distorted image of him and John McVie also used on the previous Fleetwood Mac 'White Album' but now rotated through ninety degrees.
Maybe another hidden message towards the problematic relationships in the band in those days. McVie and Fleetwood were the only surviving original members of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac! - And they still are!! The magic of a crystal ball!?
