I think the original GoS was recorded in a way that allowed flexibility as to how it could be released, given the changes at the label that began in 1994.

I completely agree that calling this a glorified LB solo album is an insult to the others, but it also ignores the fact that it started out before Christine returned as a Fleetwood Mac project AND it ignores all of the writing credits on TITN.

TITN vs. LB/CM (excluding Stevie, including B-sides):

TITN
LB: 3
LB/RD: 1
CM: 1
CM/EQ: 1
CM/LB: 3
CM/LB/EQ: 1

LB/CM
LB: 5
LB/CM: 3
CM: 2

In my opinion it's another Lindsey solo-album, with contributions of Christine's songs ...
Yes it is a Linds solo album with some songs from from Christine. Just as SYW was a Linds solo album with a Stevie solo album grafted on. Not that that is a bad thing at all. It just means that a lot of us will either skip through many tracks or only buy some tracks rather than the whole.

As was Tango in the Night, this being due to the fact that clearly Lindsey is the most prolific in the band. Since easily 1987 - Lindsey has been the one consistently writing music. Hence all projects have started with Lindsey's material. He's the working musician.

Except that this specifically started out as a Fleetwood Mac project when LB came up with some music for Stevie to write lyrics to and sing. Stevie declined (thus giving the world Extended Play instead), but Christine was all for it when she returned.

Exactly. Lindsey songs here are clearly written with FM in mind and to try to leave room for collaboration. With the exceptions of IMW and LIHTS none of Lindsey's songs sound like they would be at home on his solo albums (SATC is borderline). Ditto his EP contributions.
