[QUOTE=Angie1980;1090535]I think that's what the dispute was. They didn't like the picture and so they went with a black and white background instead. That's what Lindsey said in that conversation that someone leaked.

It Takes Time could be the new Songbird! :blob2:

Mick on right now!

"tour is going great"
"we, Fleetwood Mac, are on a creative high right now"
"Lindsey would want me to say this - for us as artists it's really important not to be threading water"

he described in detail how they were making new songs, that Lindsey left a lot of room for the band (and he was hoping Stevie would join in too) so that the whole process can be more organic. he just brought some songs on iphone, nothing else, to start in the studio and they built from that, Mick and John coulld add what they felt like, playing as a band.

that's all i remember now.

oh yeah they talked about the Tusk marching band and how Mick's idea came from hearing marching band in some local village in France, woke him up while he was hungover, and then just came out to balcony and watched it, brought it back to recording session after vacation was over.

I Live the new EP! I was unsure of it a first cause I didn't want another Say You Will (I liked it bust some of the production was iffy). But I think it has some similarities with Mirage which is good. All the songs are quality and the vocals and arrangements are just great! Kudos to you Fleetwood Mac, kudos

ahh so excited to sign onto itunes and see the new ep on the front page with the new photo. cant wait to listen to the songs!
also the ep is #27 on the album chart right now!

That looks very nice... elegant.. I like it..

Love it!

Man, it's almost like they leave space in the arrangement out of respect to Christine. You can really hear where she would fit musically and vocally...or is that my ears still miss her.

Still, a terrific and welcome output.

I have only heard snippets of the songs, and so far... meh. :shrug: I am hoping that the full songs will worm their way into my brain over time. I am surprised by the amount of keyboards, which are a bit generic-sounding IMHO; not up to the distinctive calibre of Christine.

Also, I just find the whole concept of this EP laughable. The artwork is obviously an afterthought (although I agree that it is better than the rather pedestrian promo photos of the band). The title "Extended Play" is so generic; it reminds me of when Public Image Limited released an album called Album. And the real kicker is the hastily concocted "LMJS Productions." I would bet my kingdom that there was a political struggle over how their initials would be sequenced. And it leads one to wonder whether they intentionally formed some kind of LLC, or whether this was done only because no major label would touch the EP. Aside from a terse press release, I don't think LMJS Productions has the wherewithall to do much in the way of promotion; this EP is pretty much DoA.

So I just listened to all the songs and Sad Angel is still my favorite but I am really loving It Takes Time. So happy to finally hear some new music from the band I dont care about the artwork or lack there of but I just love that big picture of them on the main page of iTunes.

The EP is #19 on iTunes now.

Love Sad Angel. Without You is probably as good as could be hoped for. Love It Takes Time even though it's Show You How recycled. Miss Fantasy reminds me of the Rolling Stones.

As of this moment, the EP is number 1 on iTunes' Rock chart.....Good for them!

It's number 27 on the general chart......

I hope this encourages them to record more and not be bound or burdened by the traditional route of releasing an album......

i see it as 18 on general chart and 1 on rock chart.

Where are you all seeing these charts? Whenever I look for iTunes charts, I only see the the "Top 10 Album chart" or the "Top 10 Songs Chart."

I must have been looking at an earlier version, before an update.....Thanks for reporting the more current info!
