By the way, does anybody know the story behind the single cover?

I heard it only a few times. As the lead single, it might have more of a splash with a cool video.

I have always thought IIM would have fitted perfectly on an 80’s action move soundtrack. It would have been great on Top Gun or a Beverley Hills Cop film. It could have been released as an earlier single but I get why it wasn’t. If it had it would have likely done well on the charts.
Regarding the cover art…..I thought maybe it was another painting hanging in Lindsey’s house, but it seems the original is in the Louvre. Anyway, by the time of its release Lindsey was long gone.

There are obvious parallels between Tango In The Night and the BuckVie album. Too Far Gone reminds me of Isnt it Midnight. Its obviously a Christine song. In 86/87 she got Lindsey to beef it up with his guitar playing. Similarly, for TFG she asked Lindsey if she could use his riff for her song. In both cases they are the 'hard rocking' songs from their respective records. Though IIM is the far better song overall. The lyrics for TFG are a bit too flimsy and throw-away.

Does the bass line not sound like something Lindsey would have wrote? Lindsey had an overly creative hand in the making of this album. Not taking anything away from John but the whole song minus the lyrics seems to be a Lindsey creation. Anyone get that vibe?

The pop radio singles were waiting in the wings. As the lead single would have blown everyone out of the water. THIS is Fleetwood Mac! I think in early 1988 it peaked at #50 in Scottland.

The BuckVie tour was the opportunity. So sad they didn't include it. I would have replaced I'm So Afraid with the Tango in the Night song, at least on some dates.
Lindsey included Shut Us Down and Trouble. Christine should have included some solo songs, too.

I know. I am sure Lindsey told Chris to do some solo work. I would have loved to have heard some solo work. But Chris always puts her solo work last. It was the perfect opportunity.

I'm sure Chris was steadfast against putting any solo work in her set. Given how dismissive she always was of her own stuff that wasn't a hit, I'm sure it was a challenge enough to get her to resurrect Think About Me, Wish You Were Here, or All Over Again on her last three tours. A total shame that her solo, pre-75, and post-87 work was largely forgotten as she had some amazing songs during all of those years that would have been great to hear live.
