'Hot girl Summer' will have lots of witchy vibes for Stevie Nicks fans!
The Fleetwood Mac songstress announced a career-spanning box set featuring 16 records and 10 CDs!
The 75-year-old "Dreams" singer has released music as a member of Fleetwood Mac for five decades and as a solo artist for four, and her fans will soon have a chance to explore thousands of hours of Nicks' musical library.
The success of Nicks' musical library on vinyl still dominates.
Fleetwood Mac's career-defining LP "Rumours" still continues to break records to this day!
The album, released back in February of 1977, was the fifth bestselling record of 2022.
Stevie Nicks Fans Will Soon Have The Ultimate Boxset Of Their 'Dreams'
Sure, Nicks' music has received the boxset treatment over the years, but the "Complete Studio Albums and Rarities" box set contains a number of records in her discography that have never been released before!
According to the "Stand Back" singer's announcement for the boxset, fans will be able to own three releases on vinyl for the first time.
1994's "Street Angel," 2001's "Trouble In Shangri-La," and 2011's "In Your Dreams" will be part of the 16 records in the box set! The vinyl contained in the box set is limited to 3,000 copies, Nicks' announcement also revealed. They will also be individually numbered!
What Else Is Included In The Box Set?

All eight of Nicks' previously released albums will be part of the extravaganza, and each record will be a 'crystal vision': they will be available as crystal clear vinyl! (per the box set's YouTube commercial)
Three of the records will contain tracks that hardcore fans may have spent several decades searching for; these LPs will contain "rarities and B-sides," with the latter tracks presumably not available since their original releases, or have never been released before! According to Pitchfork, the 'rarities' disc will feature 24 tracks, including "Free Fallin'' by Nicks' late friend Tom Petty.
Those listeners who might prefer listening to their music on the go will be able to enjoy the box set's bounty of tracks as well: a digital-only version will be released too!
Nicks' 1998 track "One More Big Time Rock and Roll Star" will also receive a face-lift; the "Enchanted" album track has been remastered.
Fans won't have to wait for the box set's mid-July release date to enjoy the song in its full glory; Nicks dropped the track on Wednesday along with the box set's announcement!
