Acoustic version of Friend/Come Out to Play [Archive]

By any chance does anyone have the acoustic version of Friend and/or Come Out to Play that they can share? I've never even heard them. I'm a horrible horrible HORRIBLE Christine McVie fan, aren't I?
They were released as iTunes exclusives and I was broke at the time, so I couldn't buy them. I think I eventually forgot about them, and now they aren't on iTunes anymore. I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I think sharing copyrighted material here is frowned upon (maybe not, I don't know), but if someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful.
Sorry for asking for things so often. I feel like a mooch :(
Anyhow, thanks in advance for any help.

You know it really annoys me when the release songs specifically on US iTunes. We don't all live in the US. If the record companies were serious about preventing pirating then albums and songs would be available on the iTunes of all countries. I've lost count of the times I've found something on US iTunes that I can't find in Australia.

Wasn't Come Out to Play exclusive to the Australian promo though? I guess it evens out...
I think it sucks though, and I'm American. I can only imagine how frustrating it would be. Doesn't seem very fair.

Anyhow, thank you so much for Come Out to Play, holidayroad.
I love it. Should have been one the album. Oh dear, but "don't you know that I'm human and you are a sexy man" - good lord, I nearly died. :laugh:

Extremely incestuous lyrics!!!!
I love the way she's able to groove with a bass player... I wish she would let her drummers jazz it up a little more... she would blow that **** up if she did..

I think it was on the UK release. I don't remember it being on the Australia one but then I'm not 100% sure if actually have a physical copy of the album.

Unrelated but I'm not sure when I stopped worrying about physically having a CD to play and just did everything digitally and via my iPod?

Come Out To Play was on a promo Australian CD. I have it. It was never on the U.K. release.

I don't have Come Out to Play, but here's the accoustic version of Friend, which I love. This is lossless. http://www.mediafire.com/file/rm2xcejbai2bd0e/12%20Friend%20%28iTunes%20bonus%20track_accoustic%20version%29.m4a

Oh my god thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much! So awesome. SOOOOOO awesome. That woman's voice still has the ability to make my heart totally melt. I think I like this version better than the album version. I love it. I'm so excited right now.
Once again, thank you very very very much :D

Hey thanks. I really appreciated hearing that song again. What a voice! I almost busted a tear. I love it because it is similar to Brown Eyes, my favorite Christine Mac song. I think this accoustic version of Friend just might be better than the album version.

You're welcome, ButterCookie. I found it on a disc I made 3 years ago. Do you have the other song, Come Out to Play, by any chance? I didn't burn that one to disc, and I swear iTunes stole it back from my library!

If anyone is interested, here is a lossless rip from the original CD of "Come Out To Play"... Mary Anne (macfan 57), who originally shared an mp3 version on the board some time ago, was kind enough to share this rip with me... so (with her permission) I thought I would share it here:

Dito for me regarding the reuploading of the acoustic version of Friend.

It is no longer available on iTunes US store.

Emily (ejb1969) sent me a copy of it and since I couldn't bear to not let others listen to it, I uploaded it on my Tumblr :D

WOWZA!!! Thank you, Applebucked! I had never heard the acoustic 'Friend'! Would anyone be so kind to refresh the link or tell me where I can buy this? I would love to hear this kind of thing on a new Mac album! Come on, Christine!

I think it used to be available on iTunes, but not anymore.
