Okay, The Visitor was during this time, BUT, it's not like it was some all time-encompassing effort, requiring Mick two years to finish.

I think the point was that La Nicks and LB's solo stuff detracted from FM's ability to put out more records. I think that can be said for CM and Mick's efforts as well.
I mean Stevie's BD was relatively quickly produced and the tour was very very short.
In the end, I do not blame La Nicks one bit for moving forward with her work and essentially dropping her work and running to FM when they called - and this was also when she was in personal crisis. So, I think it is unfair to assert that her solo career in any way effected FM's ability to produce records. I actually think her very successful solo career enhanced that ability.
