At what point were you ready for the new album?

I bought Rumours in September, 1977 and played it to death. The White Album was given to me as a Christmas gift in 1977 and I played it to death, along with Rumours. In the Summer of 1978 I announced to my family and friends that Fleetwood Mac is my favorite group and Stevie Nicks is my favorite singer. Both these albums were heavily enjoyed by me for a long time. In early 1979 magazines started reporting tidbits about the NEW FM album in production. Lou O'Neill from Circus Magazine reported the coolest tidbits on his "backpage" section. One of my favorite quotes from him came, I believe in March, 1979 that read, "wait till you hear a new song by Stevie Nicks called Sara."

At what point was I ready for the new album?

The music from the White Album and Rumours was amazing but by the Summer of 1979 I was totally ready for a new FM album.
