I've always thought a possible sixth song could have been a piano-based "Sorcerer" (basically the Marilyn Martin version but with Stevie singing it).

I was wondering/upset about this too awhile back. However compared to Lindsey's 9 songs, Christine's 6 & Stevie's 5 aren't that bad. Lindsey's were so short while Stevie's were all like 5 minutes in length.

What the result is that Lindsey has more of a scattered presence through out the double album, whereas the girls are in confined doses.
