Fleetwood Mac: The Complete Recording Sessions 1967-1997 by Peter Lewry

Mick isn't listed as playing on the majority of the tracks OS recorded;
I Need Your Love
I Got the Blues
World's in a Tangle
Talk With You
Like it This Way

MF is listed playing with OS on;
Someday Soon Baby
Hungry Country Girl
Homework

I'm aware Mick sat out The Biggest Thing Since Colossus. I don't know the circumstances behind that. Did Spann take exception to Mick's playing?

as for the "colossus" sessions - again according to mike vernon - otis was keen on playing with the mac again, but insisted on his long-standing / trusted sideman leary to occupy the drum stool.
