Ok that timeline says "Late 1985" November, December? Tango started out as a Lindsey solo album. The band may have met to play on Christine's song but Rock A Little was released in November 1985. Stevie had nothing to do with the Mac at that time and was just releasing a solo album. I think John McVie was still in St Thomas too. Working with Christine was definitely a springboard to Tango sessions. The real serious recording happened in 1986. But it surely is possible in late 1985 they met with rough demos and Lindsey showed Mick and Christine what he had been working on.
So I guess you could say 1985
There is a Stevie RAL concert in spring of 1986 where she announces to the audience that Fleetwood Mac just got back together and had a meeting and there would be a new record.
