Okay...research done, and it DID just take that long to get the tour rolling after the release of the album. According to The Nicks Fix, the Tango Tour began in October 1987. (All US release dates) Big Love was released in March '87, the Tango album April '87, Seven Wonders was June '87, Little Lies was August '87. Then the tour starts, and Everywhere is released November '87, Family Man-March '88, and Isn't It Midnight-June '88 (UK only). This is all according to the exhaustive discography in Mick's
My Twenty-Five Years In FM book. It also gives the exact date of the "Lindsey quitting drama" at Christine's house: August 7, 1987. So they must've made the Little Lies video
just before he left.
It's always nice to figure out your own thread.
Hopefully at least someone out there found all of this interesting.
