As happy as I am that Fleetwood Mac rerecorded Crystal in 1975, imagine if they had done Frozen Love. Based on what they did with the former, the latter could have been more concise, more visceral—leaner and meaner. And imagine if they had taken it to the stage as a more regular part of the set. We'd have it today on CD 3 of the White Album deluxe box!
I'd like to have had I'll Tell You Now on Mirage with Mick on drums and the three singers mooning sadly away. Mirage needed either more or better camp, and this would have fit the bill. A hell of a lot more interesting than Oh Bloody Diane, too.
I can't think of anything of Stevie's that I was desperate to hear on a Mac album. Oh, until later, I guess—Sorcerer would have been good on a Mac album, and Candlebright would have been superb back on Mirage or Tango, with her quivering voice.
