However, Warner Bros. wanted more of a Stevie presence on the record, hence the three slots allowed for her. That seems plausible with all of the drama flying around them in those days! Stevie was still the most visible, famous and commercially successful member of the band. But, like I said, I'm a Stevie Fan, and I'm sure I read too much into things!

Good grief, they only wanted Stevie to appear on 4 songs, total? And only 2 lead vocals? That's ridic. (Although, she only did appear on 4 really... but 3 lead vocals)

The band probably could have done more to include her, but it was probably ego mania back then that stopped them from doing so, I suppose. I think the fact that she had been such a successful solo star was what saved her, since Fleetwood Mac with Stevie involved would have gotten more attention that Fleetwood Mac minus Stevie.

Sorry, I'm just rambling now xD
