Making Rumours: The Inside Story of how Fleetwood Mac Made a Masterpiece
Autor Ken Caillat, Steve Stiefelen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2026
As one of the top selling albums of all time, it has become an iconic cornerstone album, one that never gets old.
Ken Caillat, the album's co-producer offers us an incredibly rare, front-row seat into the recording studio where Rumours was born. Through Ken, we get a witness first hand the relationships, the endless partying and the creative struggles that took place whilst he and the band recorded Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, and other timeless tracks.
Discover how the breakdown of two couples within the band made the songs what they are, find out how the band's collective excesses led to some of the most successful recording sessions and why Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had a screaming match while recording You Make Loving Fun.
Featuring 80 exclusive photos , Making Rumours shows how Fleetwood Mac found their voice for the first time, amidst heartbreak, divorce, addiction, and betrayal.

Recenzii
'Only a select few, including GRAMMY-winning producer Ken Caillat, can say they had a front-row seat for the birth of said phenomenon. The soap opera accompanying the making of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 album, Rumours, is a music story for the ages. Making Rumours is Caillat's personal account of the making of the album. Given Caillat's work as the album's co-producer and co-engineer, readers not only get the ultimate behind-the-glass perspective but also an intimate glimpse of the creative process and the triumphs and challenges that ultimately defined Rumours.'
'This gossipy book describes all the makeups and breakups that figure in one of the most popular and enduring of all rock albums. Irresistible peeks into the way this classic album took shape.'
'Making Rumours might just be the best rock and roll biography I have ever read... an insightful and thorough read about a pivotal time in rock and roll.'

Praise For Making Rumours "If you′ve ever wondered what it′s like to cut an album with a legendary band who made one of the most popular rock albums in sales and airplay history, then this is the book for you. It′s just an incredible story about how songs like ′Dreams′ or ′You Make Loving Fun′ were created, and the talented musicians who made them, with the help of the producers and engineers who put them down on tape and brought them to life." — Tom Johnston , the Doobie Brothers "It′s hard to imagine the tensions and freak–outs that go on behind studio doors when a band is making a follow–up to a number one album. But throw in broken relationships between band members and an endless supply of cocaine, and for me as a producer, the next step would be to light the fuse and walk away. Ken Caillat, though, ran the course, and you get to read how he survived (well, almost)." — Dave Stewart , award–winning songwriter/producer and founder of Eurythmics For one year in the studio there were massive quantities of drugs, alcohol, tempers, jealousy, doubts, and insecurities. Three couples separated and three couples cheated. But that′s just the backdrop. The real story is how the five talented but troubled young musicians of Fleetwood Mac managed to make one of the greatest albums ever recorded. In Making Rumours, coproducer Ken Caillat takes you behind the scenes to witness the personal, creative, and technical challenges he and the band overcame to make music history.
