Having said that, I love Christine's music on Penguin. Especially the opening track, Remember Me which gives it a vibe.

Bravo! It's nice to see some love for Heroes. I swear that album does not get much love around here.
While there are Chris songs on earlier albums that I like more, she brings 4 aces. Her over all song contribution is stronger than all earlier albums. We get 4 radically different songs. One traditional love ballad. One bluesy scorned song. One angry song. One song that was actually re-edited and released as a single. Even though the title track did not chart, this was a real change. Bermuda Triangle is on this album too. I do miss some of Weston's elements but this album is right up there with Mystery without a doubt. With the band or record company editing and releasing a single shows how much confidence they had in this album. No surprise it was the highest charting pre-1975 album in the states. I love how different all the songs are. I think Chris was proud of it too stating in 1982 she wanted to re-record Prove Your Love with Stevie and Lindsey.

I added that to my fake album track list on the other thread. Fleetwood Mac could have done it again. That damn band blew it. But maybe they figured they’d rather squeeze new songs out of the ol’ gal.

Thanks for playing


You know where Prove Your Love would have shoed right in? On Mirage.

Replace Love In Store with Prove Your Love, and while you're at it replace Straight Back with Smile At You. The mirage would become a true oasis.

With the exception of Oh Diane, Mirage is my FAVORITE collection of LB songs. Can't Go Back, Book of Love, Empire State? Love, love, LOVE! Aural candy!

I don't remember her saying that. That would have been grand! Especially as a B side or something.

I learned that here from FuzzyPlum. When Jim Ladd died I was trying to find out if he ever interviewed Chris when she was solo. I found a very old thread here discussing a 1982 Mirage interview he did with the band. Supposedly Jim asked Chris if there was an older Mac tune that she would ever like to re-record again and she said Prove Your Love. I tried so hard to find the audio but it seems not to be on youtube. But if we can't trust Fuzzy, who can we trust? The Ledge is a wealth of Fleetwood Mac knowledge.

This has been doing my head in. For the life of me, I really can’t remember this. Maybe I did say it, but I just don’t remember
What was the thread????

I am sorry. You get partial credit. I went back to find the thread. You were replying to Wayofthedragon but since it was your post your name stuck in my head. In any event you still deserve partial credit for the revelation. Its from 2015 and your post stuck in my head. In any event I like knowing Chris's admiration for Heroes songs because I think they are some of her best work. Its funny when Chris says her vocal on the song is horrible. Her opening singing I would imitate and drive my friends crazy duplicating her opening. Of course I did it much worse which was annoying. I did it to purposely be annoying. But I give Chris a pass.
Here is the link to the thread.

Awwww….thanks for that. That’s been annoying me. I’ve been searching interviews to find something I may have read or watched that would have prompted me to say something.
So she would have liked to have re-recorded Prove Your Love as she didn’t like the vocal. She would have liked to have done it with h the Rumours band, specifically Lindsey.
Yeah….I wonder what he would have done with it.
