This doesn't seem to be in line with the documented history of those sessions. Do you have a source for this statement?

According to what has been reported, Stevie was hardly present and when she complained she wasn't represented in the songs, the band layered some more harmonies to make her happy.

True, Lindsey was the architect of the Tango sound. The album doesn't get as much love as it deserves now because it sounds so dated but, the truth is, without Lindsey's genius, it would have likely been rather mediocre. It certainly would have lacked that "specialness" we would expect from FM. You can see what I mean buy listening to next studio album after that.
