Over & Over / The Ledge (1979 Tusk Rehearsals)
Perhaps a few of the songs, such as "Over & Over," should have been produced Rumours-style. The quirkier songs could have received quirkier production, and all concerns would have been satisfied.
And the record would have been better. One of their best songs. Starts at 0:42: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb_elPn9pyQ ("The Ledge" starts at 6:41, with Christine on acoustic guitar.) Last edited by cbBen; 11-30-2018 at 01:13 PM.. |

Should have received this kind of production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tTVGhbxvVE

This song used to terrify me as a 13 year old listening through headphones blaring at night. Also might be the best live song during the Tusk tour, especially during that first run. I’ll never forget when I saw the first 7 minutes of the Tusk Doc... |

The production on "Over and Over" is breathtakingly perfect, a gorgeous masterpiece of understatement.

I wouldn't change this song for the world. Not only is it one of my favourite Mac opening tracks, it's also one of my favourite Christine tracks for sure. The way it builds slowly, unfolding patiently and the beautiful backing vocals when they finally come in too. A lot of people seem to love the version on the live album much more, but like I said, wouldn't change this for the world.

Over and Over is such a beautiful song. I love it.
I also love that Christine was a multi-instrumentalist. Chair, Piano, Guitar, snare drum, accordion, organ, cello, viola, maracas, tamborine (she's actually playing it an not just pretending) .. and I think I've seen her with a trombone...

Maybe you could elaborate on your idea a bit, cbBen? To me, Tusk songs like "Over & Over" or "Sara" are Rumours-ish enough on the production front, and in my mind exceed it. Lindsey really went to a lot of effort to make them sound beautiful. And, taking these two tracks as examples, Stevie's and Christine's vocals are absolutely perfect, with lovely backing choruses as well. Ever since you asked about whether the "Offical Music Video" for "Sara" uses the album version of the song or not, I've been doubting just how familiar you are with these tracks...! "Over and Over" and "Sara"--after listening to these album tracks to death on headphones back in the day, I feel like I know every inch of them. Every flicker of a guitar string, every vocal whisper. I'll maintain my stance that any issues with "Sisters" are not to do with which style it was produced in, but just the content itself. It is a "pale shadow" indeed of the lyrical poetry of "Gold Dust Woman" and "Rhiannon." But yeah, the album music is haunting and those live performances are compelling.

lol at Stevie walking away from the mic at the end of this rehearsal of "The Ledge." She's not a fan.

True enough, but they probably wouldn't have listened to me anyway.
I'm listening to the album again in light of all the great comments above. |

Just listened to the whole album. Scratch what I said about production above. This narrative that the band sacrificed record sales to do something experimental now makes sense to me.
There is nothing even close to a "Go Your Own Way" "Dreams" or "You Make Loving Fun" among these songs. "Over & Over" is too slow to have been a hit. I'm amazed the album produced as many top-20 singles as it did. "Not That Funny" may be the worst song on the album. Making a single of that song baffles me. As for the others, "Angel" sounds like the best choice to me. But however it was produced, this album was not going to be a bigger success with this set of songs. It did as well as any album of theirs was going to do under the circumstances. Lindsey's experimentation cost them nothing. "That's All For Everyone" is a masterpiece.
