![]() 3 million? Come on records don't sell that much anymore. Even if it sells 50,000 that' no where near what they need to make a profit.

"Lindsey and Stevie now own the rights to Buckingham Nicks... they bought it back from Polydor/polygram etc etc... The label in the beginning thought that the album lacked imagination... but by contract they had to release it... nice eh? What a wonderful business this is... I hope they (Lindsey and Stevie) will re release it soon... I'll get on their collective case about it...! I guess I have the only CD in the world.. I pulled out the masters over a year ago, baked them to re-adhere the oxide to the backing, then built a master digital from it... it took me back so many years." |

![]() Call me crazy, but I would not be shocked if BN sold more than a Buckingham McVie II or new mac album. It has a large cult following that often spills into circles of folks who are not necessarily giant mac fans.

![]() I am not sure it would. Most fans already have it -either on vinyl or a bootleg CD. The hardcore fans would buy it again if it were re-mastered. But without the Fleetwood Mac moniker, it likely won’t sell very well. Perhaps it should have been packaged with the White album deluxe re-release. That would have excited the fan base, which might have generated a momentum that could carry over to the casual fan. As you noted, sales to the casual fan are a key to success.

But, I do agree. Sales wise the album was a flop. And even with FM name.. how many units would it actually sell? 3MIL worth? ![]() Would have been great to have a SUPER deluxe version w/ B/N for the White album. Great idea.

![]() If LBCM is a duo album, so is SYW, although quality might be subjective.

![]() I like SYW...it took me ages to get into it, it was a slow burner.
(I also like it as it was £3 from a charity shop, Best Buy ever....) I think the songs are complex and need plenty of listening to. Which is just what you want from an album. |

![]() SYW is a pleasant surprise every time I return to it. Unfortunately its then an album I tire of fairly quickly.

![]() Apart from we know who, SYW lacks..... happiness
![]() I mean, if you want an album to share your pain with, then SYW it's your choice. I suspect that's the reason Stevie doesn't want to record anymore with FM. She knows she's gonna depress everybody. ![]()

I too, think that she's miserable these days, and it certainly shows in her music. I'm old, I never married, I had no children(that I didn't kill), nobody loves me, blah, blah, blah. Now that's depressing! Christine makes loving fun, and that's what always made FM fun!

![]() SYW is a substantial, impressive effort, but it’s really more a gathering of songs—-a lot of songs—than a coherent artistic project. Still, I’m glad to have that music.
It DOES lack humor and light. But it’s intensity is powerful and authentic. Still, I much prefer Christine’s ITM. |
