Pic(s) Request: Rumours Recording Sessions

Hi

Just wondered if anyone has got any pics of the recording sessions for the album?

I've had a scout around the forum but can't seem to find any.

I believe these are pics from recordings in early 1976. They're sometimes labeled as being White Album recordings, but Stevie looked differend in early 1975 and this is how she looked like when they're touring for the White Album so I would say they're Rumours recordings.

It's probably the demo tracking for Rumours. BTW, that pic where Lindsey is visible...I could swear I see a nipple.

But why does Chris have her full road rig there -- Hammond, Hohner, & ARP, & even the maracas? I'd almost believe they were rehearsing for the 1976 touring, but they're wearing headsets, so they're recording. They even have wedge monitors in the photos. If you remove the headsets, there wouldn't be anything in the photos to indicate studio tracking instead of tour rehearsing. It's a funny way for Fleetwood Mac to record.

I thought they did some of the demo work between tour dates (I want to say this was in Florida), which would explain having their touring gear. This was just demo work, so they would have just been working out the songs live at that point.

You should check out the Rumours Classic Albums program/dvd -- they have some photos & footage from the rumours recording sessions that I had never seen before.

I must have missed a strand in this (or some other) thread. Where did you learn that these were photos of demo recording? What demos, specifically? Why was the whole band demoing together? And why would demoing require the stage setup rather than a standard (for Fleetwood Mac) studio environment. For example, why stack three keyboards? Were they short on space?
