Well, Lindsey's only under contract to Atlantic right now, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Plus, I would think Atlantic would want to cash in on the relative success of the Buckingham/McVie album, thus going with the new studio album.
If there is an issue, it might be deciding who's going to put it out....Elektra/Asylum or Warner/Reprise. They're both part of WEA, but they each have their own marketing and promotion budget. They all kind of have to be wondering how big this album will be, what with only two hit singles on it (three if he can get the rights to "Holiday Road").
I find the whole concept of a Best Of interesting...most labels won't put them out unless A) there's a lot to work with, material wise, B) it's a contractual obligation to maybe end a contract, C) WEA is thinking of deleting his entire catalog, thus consolidating it into one album, or D) the artist wants one out.
