“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, 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, “Love in Store”, “Oh Diane” , “Can’t Go Back” and the Stevie Nicks composition “Gypsy”.
Of the other two compositions from Stevie 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.
