She left off top 40 hits Nightbird and After The Glitter Fades and added Beauty and the Beast which was not even released as a single. Whole Lotta Trouble never charted and it was on the album too This is why she wanted Silver Springs too. She said a million times she resented a "Greatest Hits" album. It was a compromise between her and her record company which songs to put on. She added her favorite songs that many would not know.
Yes of course its a greatest hits album but I suppose none of this was in "the book."  |
The world needs Mick to write a book about Stevie's life and career. It would be titled *Fleetwood: My Life and Adventures with Stevie Nicks*. All of us ledgie should write letters to Mick asking him to do it.
Ok after emphasizing that it was a joke (guys, please don't get upset), I agree about the GH as a sign of a washed up. But for many singers and bands sometimes it was a sign of a turning point. Specially those GH released at the end or beginning of a decade. I'm thinking in Queen's GH. Though they already changed their style with The Game album, their 80s albums were radically different from those of the 70s. I compare GH Vol 1 (1981) with Vol 2 (1991) and it's so evident how the band changed.
Same as Madonna. The Immaculate Collection (1990) is very different than the GHV2 (2001).
