Lindsey's routine way of describing it is the "You have to take my girlfriend too", that's just the line he always uses, it's kinda obvious to me he didn't actually proclaim that and it wasn't some dramatic thing, it was just known that that's how it was. Keith said they were a duo and Lindsey wasn't gonna ditch Stevie so he likely reiterated the same thing to Mick so Mick agreed to it. That's the story that has always been told.

When Bob Welch unexpectedly left FM, the immediate need was for a guitar play, but that does not mean they were not interested in Stevie also.

In his Q&A Bob Welch said that FM was considering asking Lindsey and Stevie to join before he left the band.

Bob Welch said:

"Mick mentioned Stevie and Lindsey to me, that he had heard these great singers and writers at Sound City, before I had officially left the band.

We knew we were going to make SOME kind of changes, and I thought about staying and ADDING Stevie and Lindsey. This is what Mick, John, and Chris would have preferred at the time"

Well I guess all that goes to show you is that as always with Fleetwood Mac, there are many different, often contradictory versions of the same story.

I agree with that 100%!
