Both albums are great, but I love 'In the Meantime' more. It is intimate and personal, as if Chris and her band are playing in your living room, without concern about commercial success, with Chris singing from her heart. The 1984 album sounds more muscular and I think impersonal, as if they were going for hits, as if they were trying to sell copies, as if they were playing to thousands of people in an arena.

"Calumny" is one of Christine's greatest vocals ever.

I think I first heard about the album when I discovered the old Christine McVie website. We had a very friendly message board there, with just us Chris fans sitting around drinking tea and chatting amicably about music.
