Producer Credit

[lbfan]

I wonder, as the "architect of the sound" why Lindsey never received producer credit for the Rumours and Tusk albums (for Tusk there was the acknowledgement "special thanks from the band to Lindsey Buckingham")? When I watch documentaries, it appears that Lindsey was "producing" as much or more than Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. Lindsey has commented that his input into the production of Sara and Gypsy was substantial (even to the extent that he would have used certain techniques, chords or riffs on his own songs). I wonder if this added to the friction in the band? I assume if Lindsey received producer (or co-producer) credit, his share of profits would have increased.
