Looks like Mick is standing on Christine's shoulders in the photo.

Michele, that made me totally laugh out loud because that damned lemon cake is the ONLY reason I ever go into a Starbucks (thankfully not that often).

The photo on the cover looks like one of the ones taken backstage at some outdoor festival or other put on by Bill Graham. He's in several of the photos with them.

I couldn't resist and bought a copy in a Downtown San Diego store today. I lost a tone of music on iTunes and couldn't turn down Tusk, Gypsy, World Turning, Planets of the Universe (I so prefer the demo over what was released) and Honey Hi all in one place.

Wouldn't it have made more since
for Starbucks to release the ahem
Coffee Plant Demos.

That's awesome!

That would be the best thing to come out from all this.

Haven't stepped in a Starbucks in quite a while, but I doubt the stores here have them.

Will you come see my comedy act in Vegas?
I'll make sure you have front row seats.

of course it would. but why do something that radical when you can once again put out the same old songs.

The iced lemon pound cake? I'm addicted but I hate Starbucks too. What is so funny is that I heard Dreams come on as I was in line and the lightbulb went off. If Dreams wasn't playing I wouldn't have even remembered the CD. My Fleetwood Mac fandom hating friend actually was the one who found it the CDs for me. She wasn't too happy with me.

I've been sitting in Starbucks for hours and it only dawned on me to go look to see if they have the album when You Make Loving Fun came on

For reference, my store has it. I'm in southern California (northern Orange County to be more specific). Some of the tracks are kind of random but it's cool. I might have picked it up had I not been a broke college student and it wasn't $13 for songs I already have, lol.

I got one today with my Pumpkin Soy Latte.

Great little compilation, I think. I like the little book with the linear notes.

Any pics we haven't seen?

I guess if I were in charge I would have put the four tracks from Extended Play on this disc along with a blend of faves and rareties. But anyway....

Can I ask why? Given that this album's intended audience is the casual listener making an impulse purchase while ordering coffee, I don't see the EP tracks being very sensible choices. Maybe Sad Angel, but even that likeable little ditty is pretty incongruous with the sound Starbucks customers would know the band for, production-wise anyway. It just wouldn't fit.

I actually like the tracklist a lot. Oh Diane and Honey Hi are questionable inclusions, but there's always going to be a few songs in a mix that I think that of, and I like that it's not completely predictable. Closing with the Planets demo is an inspired choice. And I still love the cover. I hope I'm able to track down a copy sometime soon.
