Leftover material

[secret love]

We know that Lindsey and Chris have far more than 10 songs between them. In fact I think there were eight written by Lindsey alone that he originally recorded with Mick and John in Stevie's key.

And Mick has said they have a "****load" of new songs. Stevie was infamously quoted as saying there will be a new Fleetwood Mac album because "we have plenty of songs".

So given there is undoubtedly stuff still in the vault, what's the bet with what will happen to it? Buckingham McVie Part II? A final farewell album by Fleetwood Mac? A solo album one each from Lindsey and Chris?

Or perhaps something else entirely? Thoughts?

Two words: Deluxe Reissue

8 = 5 (b/m) + 3 (ep)

My prayer would be that(other than deluxe reissue) they might do this again. Watching the recording video, it just looks like they're finally enjoying the process. They look overjoyed!

I wonder how many millions of times he's regretted that "package deal" he made, 42 years ago?

I was puzzling over your post, thinking it was some complex equation, then the penny dropped and I realised b/m was Buckingham McVie and ep was Extended Play. Lol

I would love there to be another record, just depends if they still have the energy after the next tour. Plus if it is billed as a farewell tour then there's a problem there.

I think it was made clear Lindsey will be completing and releasing a solo record. There was also indication of a CM record too but I think that's less likely.

I suppose it would be asking too much for a 4-6 song EP from FM to go with the final tour as a goodbye gift.

Lindsey's comments about FM's body of work being static at 12:32 sound like the final nail in the coffin, not that he hammered it in himself...

Yup.

Lindsey has been writing and recording beyond those 8 songs and the 5 he did with Christine but that will come out on his solo album by the end of the year, hopefully.

Yes about Lindsey's static comment, it was kinda sad to hear him coming up with that justification for mac, considering plenty of bands of macs stature keep on creating new music. So I'd be shocked if there's another FM 5 album, but who knows, after FM farewell tour maybe Lindsey and Christine will get back together once again?
