Is an album without Stevie possible to be released?

Mick and Christine feel its wrong to release it "now" without Stevie with the group
and shelve the album for awhile.

The album has already been shelved for a loooooooooong while. It's intolerable.

I don't care if they call it "Naked Tango in the Bathroom" by Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham...

Just release it!

Yup. And I have full hope they will.

Apparentnly Lindsey told that reporter that he and Chris were working on the album. That was end of November. So they might be done by now.

And timewise? How can year and a half not be enough to release and tour a finished album?? Plenty of time!

Lol. Yeah peoples favorite excuse - blame it on perfectionism! He hasn't done that in this century so no reason to think he will start now.

I wonder who he will used to mix the album.

I just love seeing all of these artists and bands" current or past" slap albums together in a month maybe without any worrying or dont care how it comes out and have 3 plus number one hits off it. FM only had only one number one hit back in the 1970's which was Stevie's "Dreams" .Hum...What happen with their other tunes and why they tanked before they got up into the single digits.If this upcoming album if without Stevie on it becomes an EP. I more likely past on it and get the boot off of YT .Sorry Mick.But if its called Buckingham /McVie.I would buy it.

Only because it started out as a solo project, and he started recording it when there was a shakeup at WB. He basically sat on the project while waiting to see what was going on with the label. Considering he became a father in this time, I doubt he worked as much on SYW as he did OOTC.
