Well halfway through the session, one of the photographers came over and said, 'Okay, it's time to take off the blouse,' and I died. it was awful, you know.... "

There's one "music store" on eBay that sells about 50 bootleg BN CDs every month, and the discs are screen-printed (not home printer inkjet/ laser labels), discs are shrink-wrapped and there are the live tracks. And that's just one person. Selling the original vinyl as a collector's item doesn't hurt the bottom line. but mass-producing decent sounding discs with extras (and misrepresenting them as legit) and selling them quite openly on the marketplace isn't helping efforts to make a real BN CD a priority. Will everyone that's purchased a bootleg for $22+ put out the cash for a "official" release when what they have is just fine?

^^^LMAO!#$%^

I see your point, but I would buy an official release. Just for the remastering, liner notes and any official extras. It would be well worth the $12.99

Since Lindsey said something about waiting for an "event" (maybe even tour) to market the BN album, I can't believe that the final product wouldn't contain some kind of extras. Live versions maybe, acoustic. Outtakes. Liner notes. I think they'll do something to make the official release worth the purchase. Michele

$111 on a blouse. That has always bugged me.
My first real, full-time job, IIRC, paid about $125 a week. And that was 1981. And mine was a desk job. Granted, there is the tip factor...but, still...prices were just not that high back then. A $25 blouse was considered VERY expensive back in the day.
Must have been made of gold or something.
In which case, I'd cry, too.
But, if it was that blouse that's on the back cover of BN...she was ripped off.
Another reason to cry.

And, by the way, I'm just teasing. I would imagine this whole thing was traumatic, AT the time. And, even if it was just to make Dad Nicks feel better, later, I have a hard time drumming up sympathy now NOT because of the event itself but because, as I mentioned before, in her home--that picture (if not the cover itself) is prominently displayed under a picture of a rather homely gypsy woman (forgive me if it's a historical figure or someone's relative. Actually, it looks like one of mine, now that I think of it).

I wouldn't take one of the top 10 traumatic moments in my life and stick it on my piano...inviting comment and making me relive it again when someone just happens to notice the nudie picture of myself and my main wolfman in plain sight.

So, yeah, I think it's the drama queen, waiting to emerge, and I wish they'd all just get over themselves. I'm more than happy with my BN LP. Dirty cover and all. I don't much care if they release it. Not anymore.

Didn't she say she spent her last $111.00 and bought all the Fleetwood Mac albums and listened to them from back to front after Mick asked them to join the band?

In another interview from I'd guess 2005, she points to this picture and says she loved it so much that she designed the whole room around her.
