It’s true I guess, but I think Warners aren’t interested in anything but Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks at this moment.
The reason why he didn’t release the solo elsewhere is in my opinion this: Lindsey Buckingham loves to play his little perverted game inside the music business machinery. He loves being the one in this line-up who clings the least to the common understanding of Fleetwood Mac and their music. He knew Fleetwood Mac were going to get their act back together, he hadn’t finished Gift Of Screws when he did the Dance tour and the whole reunion told him that if he wouldn’t get his solo album out, he’d always have a back gate, provided that he wouldn't have to compromise much. Which I think he didn't.
And I’m sure he just loves to work on Stevie’s songs.
If Stevie would have not wanted to do SYW then Lindsey wouldn’t have had the back gate and at that point I believe he would have left Warners.
(This all assuming that Lindsey can terminate his contract at any point. No one has seen it anyway and yet we all keep on making assumptions of its content.)
