I agree. I'll take it whichever way they give it - download or hard copy - no difference to me.

Do they even know? "The next couple days" is pretty vague. I would assume this Tuesday since that's music release day. It's too bad they didn't have more concrete information because I can't help thinking that it's going to hurt their sales by not giving an actual date.

I'm staying up till midnight anyway so I'll look but Jesus, it'd be nice to know ahead of time instead of putting it out there with no warning.

This whole "in a few days" thing makes me think it's going to be later rather than sooner.

If it were dropping tomorrow for sure, there's no reason they couldn't say, "Hey guys, we have an EP coming out tomorrow on iTunes! You should buy it!"

The vagueness of the situation is off-putting and I think it will probably hurt sales in the long run (unless they do decide to give concrete info before randomly releasing something).

[KenshiMaster16]

Agreed but as much as some people here don't like iTunes, artists can easily get number 1 hits off of it just from a giant ad on the main home page so if the Mac do release, they desperately need some ad campaign if they decide to just drop it whenever with no advance notice.

Yes! If they released it, worked with iTunes for a big promo blitz - including one of those commercials that are always so cool - Fleetwood Mac could have a number one release, easy-peasy. They've got to learn to let the technology work *for* them.

Yeah, when Lindsey said it, I didn't take it at face value. Maybe they'll post something on their website and send us an email when the thing is really due to be released. Also, that article with Mick where they talked about a Christmas or 2014 album release got me thinking we may not get an EP at all, if they are actually even talking about doing something else in 2014 (even though that may too will probably never come to fruition).

i don't know, it wasn't just Lindsey saying it every single night now - Stevie also said in Columbus that they will have their "mini baby record" out soon.

I don't know if digital only releases necessarily adhere to the Tuesday release schedule.

As a long-time iTunes use, I can confidently say that they do. The one advantage is that Monday's at midnight Eastern, new releases become available.

[Machu]

Yeah, new music is released on Tuesdays on iTunes too. But It kind of didn't register that tomorrow is Tuesday. I'm skeptical about it being released that soon but we shall soon see.

[Macfanforever]

It probably show up on YouTube like everything else does.

I do agree with all of you.Just release something.

But I will re-signup with Icrap to continue to support Stevie and FM music.

Well, I know that they do. But they don't necessarily. For example, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been putting out songs that were leftover from their last album. They've been putting out two at a time and each release has usually fallen on a Friday.

[KenshiMaster16]

Well we already know the EP is only 3 songs; Sad Angel, Miss Fantasy and Without You. They could easily put out a 12-13 track album with the other 8 or however many Lindsey recorded and I'm sure Stevie has some leftovers from In Your Dreams or older gems she could pull out and record them quickly after the tour ends.
