What it seems we're forgetting here is that "GoS" was NOT the "all-Lindsey" affair like "OotC" was. Lindsey had either members of his OotC band on the early demos or Mick & John later on (no rhyme intended) working with him on those tunes.
And, I think from close listening to the songs that got leaked, most of the tracks with bass & drums WERE Mick & John...so there you have 3/4 of the current Fleetwood Mac already having recorded the tunes. So, what's the big deal? As Lindsey said in that article this time last year, it really doesn't matter to him what NAME those songs are released under.
But, what I find interesting is, why is there so much flak about how many GOS tunes will be on the new album with them being for all intents LEGITIMATE Fleetwood Mac songs, and yet there's almost NO flak about "Tusk" or "Tango" having songs that were 100% Lindsey with none of the others participating?
