Hmmm...I didn't know they were in it. It took me so long to find a version of it that would download off Kazaa and when I got it I was so disapointed to find 0 FM.

Aaah...sounds like there's different versions of Everywhere, which I was not aware of. The one I have is with the profiles of Chris, Mick and John. Perhaps they DID have time to make the other 3 videos/release 3 singles before the tour started. With everything that was "going down" at the time, I imagine it did take quite a while to get the tour started after the album's release. Not that singles are always released to radio the exact day the video comes out, but I suppose we could figure this out by comparing single release dates to whatever the first date of the Tango Tour was. I'll try to check it out...

Okay...research done, and it DID just take that long to get the tour rolling after the release of the album. According to The Nicks Fix, the Tango Tour began in October 1987. (All US release dates) Big Love was released in March '87, the Tango album April '87, Seven Wonders was June '87, Little Lies was August '87. Then the tour starts, and Everywhere is released November '87, Family Man-March '88, and Isn't It Midnight-June '88 (UK only). This is all according to the exhaustive discography in Mick's My Twenty-Five Years In FM book. It also gives the exact date of the "Lindsey quitting drama" at Christine's house: August 7, 1987. So they must've made the Little Lies video just before he left.

It's always nice to figure out your own thread. Hopefully at least someone out there found all of this interesting.

Perhaps we need to collaborate on an FM timeline or something. If we all contributed to a thread of dates that are confirmed for various things in FM history.

I dunno...just thinking out loud.

I knew I remembered them in this order.
Plus I think of the Little Lies photo of Lindsey in Mick's coffee table book, the one where Mick calls the shot prophetic, like Lindsey left soon afterwards.
