Over the past several months, I have been helping out with the revamping of the 1984 Christine McVie Wikipedia article, the link of which I included below. Some of the sources that we used came from the Blue Letter Archives using the Wayback Machine, seeing that the website is no longer active. The website includes the text from the article, but not the actual scans of the magazines. As such, I'm curious if anybody has any magazines related to the Christine McVie album that you can share as a scan or a pdf. In particular, we're looking for the following:


*Kaplan, Bruce (October 1984). "Christine McVie". Songwriter Connection.
*"The Biggest Mac Of Them All... Christine McVie". Good Times Magazine.
*Zimmer, Dave (23 October 1987). "Fleetwood Mac: Dirty Dancing". BAM.
*Leviton, Mark (9 March 1984). "Fleetwood Mac's songbird flies solo". BAM
*The Christine McVie album review in People Weekly
*The Christine McVie 1984 press kit.

Thanks!

I’ve seen the work you’ve done on updating that page. Thank you! You might also consider including some of Todd Sharp’s comments from a recent interview:

I vividly remember the Kaplan interview but no longer have it.

Great work, thanks. Not on your list but here’s an article on the “Love Will Show Us How” video.

I actually uploaded the "Love Will Show Us How" article to the Internet Archive earlier today, but thank you for looking.

I see you have really built up that page. Great. Glad you used the Todd Sharp interview I recommended.

I can remember buying this one from the magazine store. Its fascinating because in 1984 she mentions Lindsey wants to make another Mac album but is skeptical if he or Stevie will want to tour.

Another editor helped with the expansion of this article as well. We both were responsible for finding over 100 references discussing the article through various means. There were actually multiple Todd Sharp interviews that we located, which filled in several gaps and provided some useful context surrounding the recording and songwriting. Currently, we are just looking for a pdf for the BAM magazine references, one from the Songwriter Connection, the press kit, and Good Times Magazine. Currently, we have some of these sources via Stevie Nicks Info, Blue Letter Archives, and Fleetwood Mac UK, but we would like to verify this information by looking at the original source material.

It would be cool if someone could get a scan of this march 1977 interview. Though we've heard countless stories about Rumours, I'm curious what Lindsey and Christine said here when they "laid out the facts".

When I read in the CD book Steve Winwood was involved in the '84 album, I thought Cool, he fits perfectly with Christine music.

Interesting (though not surprise about the egos and changing minds) what she answered Do you thing your experiences will influence future Fleetwood Mac albums?

I hope so. Fleetwood Mac has a reputation for taking a long time. It's tough with five people with five relatively big egos because there's an almost constant changing of minds. But everything went to smoothly for me because everybody was prepared and knew what they were supposed to do. I think we should definitely make demos of the songs just before the album is due to commence. It really makes life a lot easier. I never want to spend a year in the studio again to make one record, that's for sure.

It's weird that she didn't comment about the long tours. She spend 9 months in the Shake the Cage (Tango) tour. I guess it was harder than spend a year in the studio.
