"Bleed To Love Her" (studio version)

What irritates me is that this example shows LB is willing to open a can and add another layer when it’s Stevie, but he didn’t do so for Christine on his five BuckVie tracks recorded before her arrival. Christine’s harmonies would have only improved his songs, especially “In My World,” “Love Is Here to Say,” and “OWTS.”

Totally agree.

When IMW came out as the first single I was listening in vain for signs of Christine, to no avail…

Christine’s voice may be on those tracks. Her “recorded voice” blends very much with Lindsey’s “recorded voice”. I think Christine is in the mix.

I don't hear Stevie on "Bleed to Love Her." But then I don't hear Christine on most of his tracks on Buckingham McVie either. If Lindsey turned down their vocal tracks to the point that you can't make out their voices, it's basically turning them off.

Based on aural evidence, as well as album credits for recording and production, I don’t think Christine is on ANY of LB’s LB/CM tracks. It’s really a missed opportunity. The collaborative presence on her songs really makes a difference. What made him resist this on his tunes is anyone’s guess. He would have opened the can for Stevie…

This is one of the reasons I prefer The Dance version. The harmonies are crisp and powerful. I hear all three of them (and likely the backup singers). Stevie sounds cool in the mix and Christine’s high part gives me chills.

Her "In The Meantime" harmonies are so beautiful.
