I was going to ask How did the band allow that? I mean, at that time Fleetwood Mac was re emerging as a popular band so any "interference" could have been harmful for their popularity. There have been better covers (specially according to the public) than the original. Close to You, What's Love Got To Do It, Nothing Compares 2 U, etc.

On the other hand, it could help to impulse the band songs, but it was a risky move. Anyway, my doubt was, she needed the band permission, didn't she? Or just the record company? Or just Christine (and BN in the case of DLMDA)?
