Keep Me There (Super Deluxe Edition)
I didn't buy the Rumours 25th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition when it came out, so I'm behind the times, I suppose. But last week I did go on iTunes and download Christine's "Keep Me There" rough track with vocal and full backing band. Until then, I'd only heard "Butter Cookie" and the instrumental version of "Keep Me There," but not this one, which seems as complete to me as "Think About It"--a song that could have very well been carried to completion, had they committed to it.
"The Chain," as it is, is perhaps my favorite Mac tune, so I can't say I wish this version of "Keep Me There" was on the album. But I am floored at how good it is. Her "working" vocal here is as emotive and intelligent as a finished track, and I find myself really drawn to the song in this incarnation.
Any thoughts about this?
