However, Nicks reportedly felt underutilized and felt self-conscious about not contributing any songs of her own, so she dug up an old demo she originally co-wrote with Buckingham prior to joining the band. The EP was fleshed out with "It Takes Time", a very sparse Buckingham ballad that lacks any guitars. Instead, the song is centered around the piano and voice, with very cheesy synth strings entering in on the chorus. Musically, the song is rather clunky and arguably unfit for a Fleetwood Mac release.
I really can’t remember the song, so clearly it didn’t make an impact on me. But I didn’t know how the EP came to be, so thank you for the info.
