If it happens, do we think that tracks from the EP would be included? I love Sad Angel, Miss Fantasy and Without You.

Sad Angel is a must. And I really love It Takes Time - that really should be on there too.

I was driving yesterday and I put Rumours on. My mind conjured up images of Christine and Lindsey enthusiastically working on new songs together. I was in such a good mood by the end of the journey.

Very vague at the moment would make a great album title for fleetwood Mac.

Hmm. Can Fleetwood Mac actually bust out an album and release it by summer? I'm not so sure they can move so quickly. I hope so, though!

Considering it's like 65% done......yes!

5 Lindsey - done
4 Christine - demos sent
3 Stevie - Leftovers from IYD

Yes, that might work. *crosses fingers*

I don't know what Stevie's attitude to an album would be. Would she write something new for it, as she did with SYW, in addition to bringing in existing demos or superfluous material from IYD? I still sense a reluctance to re-enter the studio with FM, though I'd hope Christine's potential involvement might change that.

On the Christine front, presumably before she sets foot in the studio they need to get her to agree to tour. I'm sure now that, with her recent re-emergence into public and musical life, this won't be as hard as before, but would they - do you think - make her commit to a world tour? Surely they don't necessarily want to suffer the blow which they endured in 97/98 when they only got the income from 40 dates and then had to reinvent themselves when Christine left.

My guess is she probably would write something new as she has songs but might begin to feel self-conscious about them not being fresh. So, she'd write new stuff, but she did 4 songs for SYW in like a month.

She might still be reluctant, but she can work with Dave or someone else if she wants. I think not being represented on the album or only having old songs on the album would be less desirable to her than the reluctance about recording with FM.

I definitely think Stevie would offer Fleetwood Mac a mix of a few newly-written songs and some "vaulted" ones. In the past, it's seemed very important to her that she bring something brand new to the table (even for 'The Dance'), and I can't imagine she'd feel any differently this time out.

As for her reluctance to record with Fleetwood Mac... Christine's return is a game-changer. The aspects of the whole 'Say You Will' experience that left her feeling unhappy, wouldn't be in play with Christine on board.

what songs of Lindsey's? the ones off EP or new ones?
Sad Angel def needs to be on there
and Stevie needs to pull out If You Were My Love ala Mirage and have FM record it

i will be easy pleased

If we see something materialize on the album front by this time 2015 I'll be very pleasantly suprised. Scratch that, I'd be completely AMAZED!

I'd expect a small tour first, since it's the most obvious money maker. If and when they release new music as a fivesome, I also wouldn't be suprised if situations have changed by then and we don't get another full-fledged tour.

Very true! And they could have a studio and live version of it.
