Released on February 4, 1977, in the United States and February 11, 1977, in the United Kingdom by Warner Bros. Records, "Rumours" stands as the eleventh studio album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Primarily recorded in California throughout 1976, the album was produced by the band in collaboration with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. Against a backdrop of personal breakups and intense drug use among its members, these experiences deeply influenced the album's thematic direction and lyrical content.[VINTAGE]
