It should be relatively easy to make a 1987 Buckingham McVie album given the surplus of material from Christine and Lindsey that we're aware of. Granted, the outtakes are generally skewed in Lindsey's direction. "Down Endless Street" and "You and I Part I" would be good fits, which leaves room for one more track. On the deluxe edition of Tango in the Night , "Special Kind of Love" and "Where We Belong" were both included, with the former being far more complete than the latter. I really enjoy both of them, and would not mind seeing either included. Nonetheless, I would still give the edge to "Special Kind of Love".
Other than the bridge section for "Street of Dreams", the only other songs written around 1987 that I'm aware of are "Soul Drifter" and "Say Goodbye". "Soul Drifter" was written when the band was mixing Tango in the Night, so it would have been difficult to complete that song in time. Meanwhile, Lindsey wrote "Say Goodbye" soon after his departure, so that option would be ruled out. Other than the co-write for "Where We Belong", the only other Christine song that I'm aware of is "Ricky", which would not be suitable for the album. As such, the album could look something like this:
1) You and I Part 1
2) Big Love
3) Everywhere
4) Caroline
5) Tango in the Night
6) Mystified
7) Little Lies
8) Family Man
9) Down Endless Street
10) Isn't it Midnight
11) Special Kind of Love
12) You and I Part 2
