i wonder why it wasn't included on the album?

I have no idea, maybe because it doesn't appear to be about the guy who she wrote most of the other songs about?

This song has been stuck in my head for the last 2 days.:D

Hmmmm...yeah, I wonder why it wasn't. I know of a couple of songs on the album it could replace.

Probably just a "time" issue...too many songs for one disc...not enough for two. She did the same thing with her 1984 album, too...there was one song left over..."Too Much Is Not Enough". (she played it live & it was the B-side to one of the singles)

if you were to substitute one track on ITM for this one, which would it be? i pick 'bad journey', for no real reason other than it's the only song on the album that i never warmed up to.

to be honest....I think this sounds ten times better than 90 percent of the album.....what a nice swing and what a great vocal in the verses!

Thanks for posting!

NO!!!!! In fact, that's one of my faves on the album!

I was thinking more either "Liar" or "Sweet Revenge"...but, even those would be tough to replace.

:sorry: i could compromise with sweet revenge. . .but absolutely not liar. i adore liar.

i've listened to this song too many times already. i think i have an addiction.

"Too Much Is Not Enough" was not a B-side to any of her singles, at least that I know. She thought of re-recording it & releasing it as a B-side, but I don't think she ever did. She did play it on her tour though.

This promo CD is only 54 minutes long. That's not too long for 1 CD. I wouldn't want to lose any of the songs currently on ITM.

I agree. Bad Journey's a keeper. In fact all of ITM is. My question is, why not include more than 12 tracks to begin with!

Anyone fancy transcibing the lyrics

Here you go:




Little darling, would you come out to play
Little darling, wouild you come out to stay with me awhile

The moon's full tonight
My senses shining bright
As if you didn't know
Well, somethings's going on here
Shall we make it clear
And let the situation grow

Well, one thing could lead to another
I believe we should stay sister and brother
Oh don't you know that I'm human
Oh, and you are a sexy man

Little darling, would you come out to play
Little darling, would you come out to stay with me awhile

It didn't take too long
It was already strong
Cause you've always made me smile
Ooh, like a moth to the flame
Well I must be insane
But, baby I like your style

One thing could lead to another
I believe we should stay sister and brother
Oh don't you know that I'm human

Well, one thing could lead to another
I believe we should stay sister and brother
Oh don't you know that I'm human
Oh, and you are a sexy man

Little darling, would you come out to play
Little darling, would you come out to stay with me awhile

uh uh ooooh or something like that (repeat several times, and this is actually my favourite part of the song!)

I have no idea if you'd like her Chicken Shack stuff. It's totally different from her Fleetwood Mac stuff. Chicken Shack was pretty basic blues. She didn't sing lead vocals on very many of their songs, but her blues piano is out of this world on their records. I know what 3 disc release you're referring to. I have it. It's the complete Blue Horizon Sessions. That's everything that Chicken Shack ever recorded on the Blue Horizon label. A little over half of those songs, she's on.

I'd recommend that you get In The Meantime first.

Thanks for the info. I'll pick it up this weekend. :nod: I have the Legendary Christine Perfect album on vinyl, and I don't have the means to play it right now. I can't believe that this hasn't seen a CD release, and I'd really like to hear it.

Or has it, and I just cannot find it?

My appreciation for Christine has doubled since she left Fleetwood Mac. Strange, yet true.

It was re-released on CD late last year. It's a Japanese re-issue...outstanding sound. It's a limited edition, so it's fairly expensive. It looks like it'll be out of print soon.

By the way, there is another solo album, released in 1984.

That's very strange. My one definitely doesn't have that track on it.
I wonder if they were planning it as an Australian exclusive, but it didn't happen for some reason?
I'm quite curious to see the Japanese version of ITM now too, as those often have bonus tracks that aren't available anywhere else in the world.

My copy came from The Netherlands. The running order is way off of what we know, Come Out And Play is included, and a few of the songs have alternate titles. Did yours come with artwork? I was JUST getting ready to post this new CD today when I saw I was beaten to it!

A Japanese version was on eBay recently, there were no extra tracks and it had the same running order, however of course there maybe a promo copy doing the rounds that is different that we have not seen yet

My copy has the same album cover as the one we know. There is an alternate title for "Easy Come, Easy Go". That song is listed on the insert as "That's The Way It Is". This new track is #3 out of 13 tracks on the track list.

If there are any more tracks out there, chances are they'll be on promo copies. I'll keep my eye out for those. I know she recorded quite alot of extra songs & outtakes because she talked about it on those video clips on her site. They're on her nephew's computer.

I'll pull mine out again. I believe I had two alternate titles. My cover was a picture of Christine in front of a brick wall, I beleive there was a door as well. It was in color. Like I said, I had one this months ago, back in November I believe. I popped it into Winamp, and bam, FreeDB brought up the titles, so it's been out there a while.

I've been wondering the same thing. If it is a "personal" song, it sounds like it might be about a long time friendship that may be turning into something more.;) On the other hand, this could be one of those "made up" songs of hers that has absolutely nothing to do with her.

Maybe she put "Easy Come, Easy Go" on the album because she wanted one McVie/Quintela song on there. I actually like that song now more than I did when I first heard it. But I don't think it's anywhere nearly as good as "Come Out To Play". And, I don't think "Come Out To Play" is about the ITM's mystery man. Maybe that's why she didn't leave it on.

"Come Out To Play" is now among my top 5 songs on the album.

I agree - if it's a personal song it sounds as if it's about a friendship that's about to turn into something more and although that's what she wants she still isn't quite sure

I've been listening to this quite a lot over the last few days.

It definately sounds like she can't make her mind up about someone she's known for a while as friend but she's not sure whether to keep it like that or rip his clothes off and ravish him on the spot!

I thought for a while that Givin it Back was also about a friendship that has changed into something more but the feel of this song is way more sexual than Givin it Back.

Gail

I agree. I still think "Givin' It Back" is about her brother/family. It's never had a romantic feel for me. Not so with "Come Out To Play". It's a very sexy song & it's definitely about a long time friendship that either has turned or is about to turn romantic. It's definitely not about the "mystery man". It doesn't sound like he had been a long time friend.

I am now having doubts about Givin it Back being about a romance.

I agree that Come Out to Play is not about the mystery man.

Of course we don't know when any of these songs were written. It is tempting to think that there all about the mystery man but Easy Come, Easy Go can't be and obviously Dan's songs aren't.

Gail

Those are the 3 songs that we know aren't about him. She did say most of the songs are about him though. Of course, she has been known to step in others shoes & write from that viewpoint. I believe most of her second solo album was written in that way.

Those are the 3 songs that we know aren't about him. She did say most of the songs are about him though. Of course, she has been known to step in others shoes & write from that viewpoint. I believe most of her second solo album was written in that way.

With the songs on ITM I'd like to know hou much of the lyric writing was hers.

does anyone know this? Mary Anne?

I don't know how much all of those co-writers(Dan, Billy, George Hawkins, Robbie Patton), contributed to the songs. She never really talked about it in those few interviews that she did. I would guess that she was the primary writer since her name is listed first in the credits on all of the songs.

Yes I think that's right.

Perhaps the primary inspiration was hers and they contributed

hehehe everytime we say 'mystery man' it sounds all ominous

poor guy, we should give him a name

anyway, i dont think this songs about him, but i get the feeling its about her, & about something real, not sure why, i just do, they seem to be real feelings she cant figure out

maybe it wasnt something recent, maybe she wrote it about something that happened years ago, hmmm

I'm personally skeptical that the mystery man existed at all. Here's my theory. Christine found herself in her studio with her nephew recording an album, of all things. This was after she had made it plain that she had retired from music. She surprised everyone, including herself. She knew there would be a lot of questions to her why she felt driven to make these recordings. She didn't think interviewers would like "Because I'm a musician and it just happened," even though I personally think it's the truth. So, she concocted a story that she had had a failed romance and that is what inspired her to make the album. At least it's a story interviewers could believe and write about.

The 'new song' fits nicely into her "I shouldn't be doing this, but I can't help myself" category of love/relationship songs.

Back in April 2000, George Hawkins did a Q & A here on this website. He mentioned that she was writing songs at the time, but wouldn't commit to actually recording them. So 2 years after moving back home, she was writing again, which means the relationship with the "mystery man" wasn't a very long one. It has always struck me as strange that the songs weren't about Eddy. Her marriage/relationship with him lasted longer than any relationship that she's ever had. Yet ITM is about someone else. I still think there is a "mystery man", but I just think it's strange.

Stevie also mentioned that Christine was "going out with someone" and was "in love" so I think it's him.

I like the air of mystery and I like calling him the "mystery man"

I can't remember the whole thing because it was a long time ago, about the time they started making SYW.

Stevie was asked the usual Christine question and that was one of things she said.

sorry I can't be more specific

I specifically remember her saying that Chris was in love & that she was never coming back to Fleetwood Mac. I think the interview was done a little bit before SYW. I thought it was around the time of the release of Stevie's last solo album.

I like calling him the "Mystery Man" too.:D

okay, sorry to sidestep the mystery man discussion, but I was wondering--out of pure GREED of course-- whether or not anyone knew of additional tracks that weren't on ITM. Whether or not anyone has a demo, somewhere...or at least knows the titles of the songs...

Here's hoping Christine falls in love again, falls tragically out of love quickly, and is inspired to write 12 more songs with her nephew. :laugh:

Honestly, I don't see why she wouldn't do a covers album, just her at the piano playing some standards--pop, blues, or even a tinge of jazz. Or, she coould re-do a number of her songs for just her and the piano. Bet it would get even better reviews than ITM, too. Worse came to worse, she could throw a Christmas tune on it.:lol:

As of right now, there are 14 songs that we know of from ITM...the 12 songs on the album, plus this "new" song & accoustic Friend, which was an iTunes exclusive. There are more demos, outtakes, maybe extra songs, etc. on her nephew's computer. I WISH she'd let us hear them by releasing them on her website, if she doesn't ever want to record again.

I'd take anything(and I mean anything:D )that she'd want to give us. I know she loves the blues & jazz. That would really be something interesting & different.

My copy has the same album cover as the one we know. There is an alternate title for "Easy Come, Easy Go". That song is listed on the insert as "That's The Way It Is".

The title of this song must have been decided quite late. A couple of Aus CD sites list Track 8 as "Unknown".

That's odd... it's an "old" song. Fleetwood Mac rehearsed it for the Dance, but opted for Temporary One instead.

That's odd. On my Aussie promo CD, "Come Out To Play" is track #3. Also, "Easy Come, Easy Go" is track #8 on my officially released CD & on my Aussie promo CD it has a different title, "That's The Way It Is".

How do you know this?:shocked: I know Chris brought 4 or 5 songs with her for the Dance, but I've never heard what those songs were, other than "Temporary One".

Yes, sounds like some prat at the Aus record company/distributor couldn't get their info right.

I see it was re-released last week in Aus by Shock Records (who seem to be the outlet for Sanctuary). I'm trying to determine the current track list.
