"Mirage" is the 13th studio album by Fleetwood Mac, released in June 1982.

Following a hiatus of over a year after the completion of the worldwide Tusk tour, the band temporarily relocated to Château d'Hérouville in France to record this 12-track collection. By this time Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had each commenced a solo side-career, the former to multi-platinum #1 success with 1981's Bella Donna, the latter faring not as well with his first outing Law and Order.

Mirage found the band venturing further into radio-friendly soft rock than it had in any of its previous incarnations. It stood in stark contrast to its highly experimental predecessor, 1979's Tusk. Mirage yielded several hit singles: "Hold Me" (which peaked at #4 on the U.S. Billboard Pop Chart, remaining there for seven weeks), "Love in Store" (#22 US Pop Chart), "Oh Diane" (which reached #9 in the UK), and finally, "Can't Go Back" (issued on 7" and 12" in the UK).

The Stevie Nicks composition "Gypsy" (#12 Pop, #4 Rock, and a #1 hit in Canada) was the second single from the album and was accompanied by a lengthy video, the highest-budget music video ever produced at the time, directed by Russell Mulcahy, and was the very first "World Premiere Video" on MTV in 1982. The single and album edit of "Gypsy" ran for only 4:24, but a 5½-minute version had been originally recorded and it was this version used for the video. This full-length version was not made available on CD until 1992's retrospective box set 25 Years -- The Chain.

Of the other two compositions from Nicks on the album, "That's Alright" dated back to the Buckingham/Nicks days of 1974, whilst "Straight Back" was written in the winter of 1981 and referred to her separation from (then) lover, producer Jimmy Iovine, and the huge wrench she experienced having to leave her newly established and highly successful solo career to re-join Fleetwood Mac for the 1982 project (Nicks refers to this on the DVD commentary to her 2008 retrospective Crystal Visions -- The Very Best of Stevie Nicks). "Straight Back" was also a US radio hit in winter 1982.

The album was certified double platinum for shipping two million copies in the US and returned the group to the top of the U.S. charts for the first time since their 1977 hit album Rumours, spending five weeks at the top. It also reached #5 in the UK, and #2 in Australia.

Hold Me is probably my favorite from this album..Such a sublime song executed perfectly by Christine and Lindsay..it leaves me in a trance! Music to my ears!

@jthornton17 A great album. But in my opinion it isn't as great as Fleetwood Mac, Tango In The Night and of course Rumours, my favourite Fleetwood Mac album.

[jthornton17]

most underrated fleetwood mac album for sure. Love In Store, That's Alright, Gypsy, Hold Me, and Oh Diane were some of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs of all time. A great album that doesn't get it's credit.
