And I think THAT'S what Lindsey is talking about when he tallks about coming full circle. It's how he wants to approach the music, NOT how it's released.
But, it still won't sound like the old BN. Stevie WILL have that vocal run that has been on almost every album since Mirror (you know, the "and you remember it" vocal run from Whole Lotta Trouble), while Lindsey will try to sound even more like Segovia.
As a huge fan of the post-Green Danny Kirwan material, this has been a huge gripe. Fleetwood Mac had an innocent approach to the music back then. That simplicity changed for both parties in 1975. They spent more time on that first album with LB and SN than they had on all of the albums from Kiln House through HAHTF combined, and probably BN too.
The ridiculous part of the BN vs FM thing, to me, is that Mick wouldn't have been interested if they didn't kind of already sound like Fleetwood Mac.
