What's to advance, though? They've already recorded the bulk of their work and with the money they're making on this tour, they don't need an advancement. The larger indie labels, like Matador, could very easily afford to release a band like Fleetwood Mac.

they'll only sign to a major, and no major will sign them without Stevie.

I'm still not completely sold on that. I think some labels might be more inclined to sign MJCL over the full five if they knew the band would be fully committed to touring and working the new album as much as possible, and MJCL appear to be willing to make that commitment. That would be a pretty safe investment, especially if the album was already finished. With Stevie being so noncommittal at this point, I'd be more nervous about signing them with her, and I'd make sure legal had an iron clad contract as far as she was concerned.
