Speculating/opinion time:
Really? Geez. If the LB Greatest Hits is the case, then I hope the unreleased Gift of Screws Rolling Stones covers and other song demos from that time are on it but they're re-done or polished up. I really like the FM Deluxe releases, but I have no idea if LB can warrant that treatment or really wants it. I don't know how I feel about his solo album being shelved into next year. He probably would make a lot more money collaborating with Christine again or doing a farewell FM album. Like, 5 songs from LB, 5 from CM, and 3 demos that are re-done or songs from Stevie. Then, LB can put the last 5 songs for another LB/CM or just distribute them into more solo albums. Is it wrong of me to just want FM to stop touring after this one, unless the next one actually produces a final album? I don't know about John's health and unfortunately time is not on Christine's side. This band's drama is so meme-worthy. |

A Greatest Hits from Lindsey seems kind of silly.....other than "Trouble", "Go Insane" and "Holiday Road", what could they really include?
I guess you could call it a Best Of or a Retrospective, and flesh it out with tracks from his other albums, but that just seems like a stalling technique. And he seemed so thrilled about this album last summer....!!!🙄 |

I also wouldn't mind a Best Of albums. I never see Lindsey on a solo tour, and I love all his work, so he can sing anything to me and I will be happy.

Lindsey shelving an album bodes well for an FM tour - there's really no other reason for him to delay a release and solo tour, assuming he is in good health. These Fleetwood Mac tours take months to plan, to line up venues, to get everything arranged. Lots of money is involved. It would have to be something catastrophic to have all those plans cancelled. Hopefully whatever is going on per WelshWitchPMD's source is not catastrophic.

lol, about Mick. Does his accountant suck or does he just flat out ignore that person? I consider Greatest Hits and Best of to be the same, since they're both compilations. I get what you're saying though on that they're actually different. Quote:

Was Lindsey playing up the release of a new "pop" sounding album a way to put some kind of pressure on the other Macsters (i.e., Stevie)?

I do agree his new found poppy state of mind is a ploy to lure Stevie into the studio. She hates when he gets "weird". I like a mixture of both.

Pop Sound
I don’t think Lindsey recording a “pop” album was an attempt to lure Stevie into the studio. Per previous interviews, Lindsey announced that he would be releasing a “best of” and had already recorded an album that would be released in March. He said, when asked, that it was a pop album. Was the recorded pop sound intentional, subliminal, or by chance? Who knows. Since March has all but come and gone, there has been a lot of fan speculation. My personal opinion is that Warner liked the sound of Buckingham McVie and the new solo album and are now trying to manipulate that into an FM album. To me, Lindsey’s songs generally sound the same whether on an FM album, solo or Buckingham McVie. His greatest contribution has always been the impact that he has on the other songwriter’s songs. While that studio time may be painful for other band members, the success of FM in the Buckingham Nicks era is indisputable.

But when the other half of that successful team that joined the band 42 years ago doesn't want to do another album just out of spite , and the band founders support that idea just to please her, instead of trying to convince her, then you know that that band is done. And they should stop touring and they should go their separate ways instead of staying together just to hurt each other while cashing astronomical tickets for the same tour they have been doing for the past 15 years.

This is an interesting Podcast. Lindsey comes up at the beginning (there is no “box” around Lindsey’s creativity) and towards the end (discussing remote versus in person interaction with artists). Lindsey was mentioned as one of the few artists that is intimately involved in the mixing. Needham mentioned that even bands in LA won’t drive across town, but will correspond by e-mail and Skype to select different sound/mixes. |
