Tango as a double album
 

Do you guys think Tango could have worked as a double album? What tracklist would you have used? I was thinking about this...(I added Make Me A Mask because it fits so well!!)

You and I part 1
Down Endless Street
Make Me A Mask
Ooh my love
Ricky
Seven Wonders
Caroline
Tango in the night
Mystified

Big love
Juliet
Everywhere
Family Man
Welcome to the Room Sara
Down Endless Street
Where we belong
Book of miracles
Little Lies
Special kind of love
When I see you again
isn't it midnight
I can't help falling in love
You and I part 2

No, it would just have watered it down. It has 2-3 weak songs as it is.

No. How many more clunkers could Stevie have contributed?

Interesting idea, Tusky, but I think Tango was barely able to make it to 12 songs, let alone a double album!

Make Me a Mask, Family Man, Caroline, Big Love, and maybe even Tango in the Night are likely all solo Lindsey songs. I suspect no one else in FM is playing on them, so already the idea of a double album seems pointless when the band didn’t even play on several songs that DID appear on the album, let alone trying to add more songs to make it a double album.

Having said that, I really love Down Endless Street and Ooh My Love on the Deluxe Edition, so I’m perplexed as to how those songs were discarded for When I See You Again or Family Man.

I like how you've used You & I Parts I and II as the opener and closer.

Hard no as a double album.

However, I’m down for a LBCM prequel.

When I see you again part 2
I saw you yesterday
The pink and honey staircase
Welcome to the castle walls Sir
Staring out the window

For Scarlett!

Agreed. Replace Stevie’s songs with Where We Belong, You and I Part I, Special Kind of Love, and Ricky, and it would have been a much stronger album.

Yes but that's B side material

And Frontline baby!

That's flea medication!


Just like I figured...:lol:

They certainly had enough material to release a double album, although some of the original tracks leave much to be desired, particularly on side two. The following configuration would be my preferred track listing, although if "Where We Belong" was fleshed out a little more, I would probably include that song instead of "Family Man".

1) Big Love
2) Seven Wonders
3) Everywhere
4) Caroline
5) Tango in the Night
6) Joan of Arc
7) Little Lies
8) Down Endless Street
9) Special Kind of Love
10) Isn't it Midnight?
11) Family Man
12) Book of Miracles

I love Tango. It’s actually my favorite album from the Rumours era. Lindsey and Christine really killed it on Tango. Stevie left a little to be desired though. I wonder what the album would have been like if Stevie was able to bring her A game. But also we know Lindsey did a lot of the production on Tango, he could have helped Stevie’s songs more.
