I WAS including the GH album on that. In addition to "Behind The Mask," they also released "As Long As You Follow," "No Questions Asked," "Roll With Me Henry" (credited to Christine McVie & Friends, the "friends" being Mick, John, Billy, and Rick), "Lizard People," "Paper Doll," "Love Shines," and "Heart of Stone." Six songs was half an album, last I checked.

Seriously though I think you knew what I meant... full studio album

I knew what you meant, but they released more than just that album. And that doesn't even include the "Tango" tour video.

Also during the tour Mick released his book which was the first to mention his affair with Stevie and her out of control coke spins in 1986.

Which shocked absolutely nobody. It was common knowledge that she went to rehab for a coke problem. As for their affair, he just confirmed what 99% of us already suspected (the other 1% being shippers who can't grasp the fact S&L aren't still together).

Stevie threatened leaving the band and legal action.

Only because she hadn't read the book, yet. My understanding is that she was actually miffed that the affair was presented so sparsely after she read it. I remember the huge deal they made about the book, but, like with many things related to this band, it was blown completely out of proportion.

But the Mac pressed on and announced the "Farewell Tour" in late 1990.

NOT a "Farewell Tour," just that Stevie and Christine wouldn't be touring anymore. The original idea was that the boys would press on. It would have looked something like THIS:

But on December 7, 1990, Stevie took the stage with Lindsey on the Farewell Tour to sing Landslide. She walked off the stage never to work with Fleetwood Mac again until 1997 The Dance.

(Clinton could nearly negotiate an Israeli-Palestinian peace treaty, but not a Hi-Watt or Mesa/Boogie???)

She did have a fight with Mick about Silver Springs in 1991. Fleetwood Mac was dead at that time. No tours no albums, nothing. It is slicing and dicing my comments again to say Stevie left in 1991 just months after her last gig in December 1990.

She had no intention of leaving the band altogether in December, 1990. Rick Vito was the first to leave, followed by Stevie. It was months, and probably not unexpected as far as they were concerned. (I mean, how could she still justify touring as a solo artist, but not as a member of the band she claimed membership?)

I did mention Chris left in 1990 but did return for Time.

CHRISTINE NEVER LEFT AT THAT POINT!!! SHE ONLY RETIRED FROM TOURING. Check the "Second Hand News" section on this site. Her interview from 1992 makes it clear that she was still in the band. There are also pics of Chris with Fleetwood Mac from 1994 with Dave Mason and Bekka Bramlett (prior to Billy's return). Christine said she wouldn't tour, but would still record with them. She became their Brian Wilson. She didn't tour, but was on the album. She only left after "Time" was release, which is a point of minutia, since the band never toured in support of that album.

Time did not even make Billboard 200.

But "Out Of The Cradle" and "Street Angel" burned up the charts?

just a pet peeve when people quote your post and correct you when you are saying the same thing!

But we're not saying the same thing. Fleetwood Mac released MORE than just the one album with Billy and Rick, there has never been a farewell tour, Stevie's original intention was, at least publicly, to stay in the band, and Christine never quit the band prior to the end of 1995 (shortly before the band called it a day). All very different points.
