Of course we all want to hear the left out songs...but if you surf the net and search for downloads or check the sites that regularly post downloads, don't you think it's a matter of time before we will have them anyways?
SO, in trying to keep a positive attitude, I'm hoping that a single CD will sell better because all the casual listeners who maybe pick up the CD at a store will buy it, where as if it was a double CD and cost a little more, they might not. Our economy is not great, so even someone who is a fan (but not as diehard as a Ledgie!) might not buy the CD because they just don't have a lot of extra $. Especially because the chances of them scoring a top 10 pop song are slim to help them get more exposure (which will equal more sales).
I'd rather read that the album cracked the top 10 (hopefully #1!) and sold 4-8 million (hopefully more like 200 million!) than that it cracked the top 20 and then faded into obscurity like BTM or something. And although we are all dying for the new album we have yet to see how the loss of Christine will affect their popularity & sales with the general public. Unfortunately it's an imperfect world for a Fleetwood Mac diehard, but the marketing people might have changed things based on surveys/listeners responses/current market info, etc.
Besides, if it's only a single CD, we always have each other and the Ledge for consolation!
