For those interested, this book (written by Cath Carroll) has a nicely detailed account of the (tumultuous?) making of the Rumours album, including some good descriptions of the sessions and studios at the Record Plant in Sausalito:

Sample passage (writer John Grissim describing the attempts of a female agent vying for management of the band):

After a few minutes of conversation, John McVie shows up, and I introduce them, explained who she was. And she said to John, "Would you like a line?" And she brings out this Tiffany silver- it was like a bolt- and she unscrewed the top and produced a small mirror and lays out this really good quality line. And she produces a four-inch long, top of the line Tiffany silver straw, and she hands it to John, who says "Thank you very much" and he snorts the line. He's holding his nostril and she looks at him and says, "Now that I've turned you on, I'd like to hit you up for mangement." He laughed so hard he snorted the coke out of his nose.

ah, the 70's.
