Briefly available as a double album "Rumours and Charlotte" with Rumours

Another fine collection of rarities, one of my favourites. Sound quality varies a little - the tracks are sourced at various times during the 1970s.

This is impossible to find 'new' - I buy all my rarities from ebay, but I recommend observing before bidding - prices vary considerably.
Check if there's a copy for sale.
Most of the tracks are available on studio and compilation CDs.
