Rejected Album Post-OOTC?
I know this has been discussed in past threads, but in the interest of a comprehensive and fully-updated account: Following OOTC, did Lindsey make an album, perhaps co-produced by Richard Dashut, that the label rejected?
If so, what do we know about it and the songs from it? |

this bootleg GOS cemented my LB fandom. it's something that's very near and dear to me.
pasting parts of the above referenced wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_of_Screws that refer to original GOS: Album history The album title existed as a solo album set for release in 2001 by Reprise Records. Songs were recorded between 1995 and 2000, some of which were performed and recorded live by Fleetwood Mac for their The Dance album and tour in 1997. They also feature contributions from bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Upon presenting the finished album to Reprise, Buckingham was advised to retain some of the material for a forthcoming Fleetwood Mac album. To this end, Buckingham contributed several of the songs towards the 2003 album Say You Will and ultimately his next solo project, Under the Skin, released in 2006. However, high-quality bootlegs of the Gift of Screws project, which had been mixed but not yet mastered, were publicly circulated for free MP3 download in October 2001.[2] The title track takes its inspiration from an Emily Dickinson poem. The song was recorded during the sessions for Say You Will but did not appear on the album. ...........................................................

^^^^^Personnel and Technical listed above was pasted from released Gift of Screws album article, and refer to only GOS released songs - not SYW or UTS or unreleased songs.
Christine McVie participated on Bleed to Love Her and Steal Your Heart Away, and Mick and John did too, as well as on the number of other songs (if not all). and it is very probable that most if not all songs on the bootleg were co-produced by LB and Rob Cavallo, and mixed by Mark Needham.

I was the guy who ripped the MP3s and gave them to Sarah, I believe, to post on her fan site. The mixed tracks were burned to an audio CD by an old friend at Maverick who was working with Mark Needham on some other projects. Rob Cavallo and Glen Ballard (Alanis Morisette producer) played a big role in advocating for the album from 1998 to 2000, I do recall.

Oh wow. I had a flashback. I remember hearing about Gift of Screws forever after The Dance and how Lindsey was working on it. Then it sort of went of the radar.

I meant an album completed in (or by) c. 1995.

Post OOTC Work
Although Lindsey was undoubtedly working on the unreleased GOS album (as detailed meticulously above by Elle and David) in 1995, he was not working with Richard as they parted company shortly after OOTC was completed. Lindsey did have a song (On The Wrong Side) on the With Honors movie soundtrack in 1994 and a duet with Stevie (Twisted) on the Twister movie soundtrack in 1996.

Was "Twisted" a trial run to see whether he and Stevie could get along (or at least work together) before one or both agreed to commit to a full FM reunion?

After watching the interview and looking back its obvious it was for the money. Stevie's solo career was floundering and she cancelled tour dates on Street Angel and her album tanked. Lindsey was not making money off his solo career either. Mick always needed money. I think Chris just reluctantly went along to make everyone happy.

So The Dance was for money but what was "Twisted" for? Why did Stevie choose to work with Lindsey on it? At the time they decided to collaborate on it, did they already know (or at least expect) they would be reforming FM? Last edited by cbBen; 01-08-2020 at 03:32 PM.. |

According to Stevie, she wanted to write the song specifically for the movie because she wanted to capture its theme in the song.

According to the Dance interviews that I recently watched (again), the band is interviewed during rehearsals for their recorded show. They claim the reunion was extremely swift and it happened only several weeks before their rehearsal.
So I doubt in 1996 any of them would have predicted the reunion then.
