Does anyone know if she actually sang on it? Probably a backing vocal, but aren't I right that she kind of only showed up at the chateau to record vocals for her songs and then left return to her solo career? I know this was the case for Tango. I always thought that was sad. I love a lot of the songs that came out of the 80s for FM, but it's a little disheartening to think that they weren't working in the studio together as a band in the way the worked on the White Album/Rumours/Tusk.
Anyways...as for my favorite on Mirage, that's hard. I'm a pretty big fan of Mirage. I like it all except for Empire State. My favorite favorites are probably:
Book of Love - Something very emotional and angry about the vocal...I love it!
Gypsy - I prefer the extended version though. I believe it's on the Chain Box set.
Hold Me - I love the mood; happy but bittersweet
Wish You Were Here - One of the best overlooked FM/Christine tunes IMHO. Although, I guess she didn't write the lyrics, so does it really count? Love the end.
