true.
it's like stevie's demos
most of them i prefer better because they are rough and aren't touched up
im sure if the Mac retouched Juliet, it might have sounded worse than the Mirror version

I did. I've thought that for years. I'm not sure what we have of it is Fleetwood Mac "Tango" work-in-progress. It's somewhat experimental in its looped keyboard & percussion motif, but the sound of that loop along with the moaning guitar just doesn't sound like a Buckingham experiment. He tends not to paint such lengthy & droning ostinato-based canvases. I think "Joan of Arc" has more in common sonically with "Mirror Mirror" than anything Mac was doing that decade..
i have no idea
im not an expert on this stuff
it was just always labelled a "tango" outtake and that's what most people have probably assumed it to be
I think it sounds more Mac than anything Stevie's done
but that's just me
i'm sure there's a bunch of Stevie songs that are/were Mac songs and vice versa. like lindsey working on 24 Karat gold confused me
