Part II of the conversations is absurdly long. Here's part of it. Excuse the misspellings of names and such.

Conversation Tapes Part II 6:38

S. Nicks – “An air force base, and she was riveting nails in an airplane.”
C. McVie – “Why did she stick her hair up?”
S. Nicks – “Well, usually she had it up, and this day it came down. And it got part of it stuck and so they had to cut like this much.”
C. McVie – “What happened to that guy that had all his hair severed off by something?”
M. Fleetwood – “Oh…Shawn Phillips.”
C. McVie – “Shawn Phillips…yeah.”
M. Fleetwood – “On a yacht. Got it caught in a winch.”
C. McVie – “He ended up with a…”
S. Nicks – “In a circle…you mean like this type of a thing?”
C. McVie – “He ended up with a short back and sides that he did not want.”
S. Nicks – “Oh no…Oh no.”
M. Fleetwood – “He had very long blonde hair that Shawn Phillips (S. Nicks – “Oh…poor thing.”) right down past his bottom.
C. McVie – “It was really…”
S. Nicks – “Ooh…what did he do? That’s a familiar name.”
M. Fleetwood – “Shawn Phillips.”
C. McVie – “I think he was on a boat or something.”
S. Nicks – “What does he do? I don’t…”
M. Fleetwood – “not folk singery. J.C., would you care to explain?”
S. Nicks – “J.C.”
C. McVie – “Would you care to explain precisely…”
M. Fleetwood – “Shawn Phillips…Jerry Levine used to go ‘round with.”
J.C. – “Shawn Phillips was a…”
S. Nicks – “Was...don’t say was. Was is a good word.”
M. Fleetwood – “Is.”
J.C. is explaining, but it’s too muffled for my ears.
C. McVie – “Well, he still is, but he hasn’t got any hair.”
M. Fleetwood – “He lives in Italy.”
S. Nicks – “Those are horrible shoes.”
M. Fleetwood – “Aren’t they nice?”
S. Nicks – “No, they’re horrible.”
J.C. is still explaining.
C. McVie – “I thought that we were in the unhappy…”
S. Nicks – “Chris, this is why I came to this car. I couldn’t stand…”
M. Fleetwood – “You keep quiet over there. J.C.”
S. Nicks (whispering) – “Chrissy…”
C. McVie – “No one’s that interested.”
S. Nicks (still whispering) – “Chrissy…”
S. Nicks – “I couldn’t let you go in this car by yourself…unhappy. So I came in this car so that you would be cheered up not that I'm doing a thrilling job but…at least, you know, we’re smiling.
C. McVie – “Oh great. Oh fine.”
S. Nicks – “You just keep your mouth shut about your unhappiness. She's happy. I’m happy. We're happy. At least, the girls are happy.”
C. McVie – “The girls are...I’m…I’m halfway to being drunk.”
S. Nicks – “Chris, it's okay because I’m trying to catch up with you, and I knew you'd share your drink with me. I always steal her drink onstage. She looks at me as I go. She goes...”
C. McVie – “I know. I say…”
S. Nicks – “She goes, ‘Well, there it goes once again.”
C. McVie – “That champagne is about all you’ll get out of me. I'm used to it.”
M. Fleetwood - “Did you really go and have photographs taken in the hall last night or was I imagining?”
S. Nicks – “I never left my room last night. I watched a movie.”
M. Fleetwood – “J.C., what was that?”
J.C. – “Didn't you say you were going to go downstairs with your sequined outfit on and have photographs taken?”
S. Nicks – “I never left my room last night. I watched...you know what I did last night...what did I do last night?”
M. Fleetwood – “Stevie got very aggressive on the phone.”
J.C. – “You said get Dwayne up...”
S. Nicks – “No, I called you up.”
M. Fleetwood – “No, you didn't call me up.”
S. Nicks- “I did call you up!”
M. Fleetwood – “No, you called J.C. up to talk to Dwayne.”
S. Nicks – “You're kidding me.”
S. Nicks – “No, I did call you up late.”
M. Fleetwood – “No, no. Let me recap.”
S. Nicks – “No, I did call you up late and ask you where he was 'cause I wanted to talk to him.”
C. McVie – “I got to tell you what Sam Emerson did. Did you hear what Sam Emerson did?”
M. Fleetwood – “Well, I can imagine.”
C. McVie – “Well, aside from being...”
S. Nicks – “Sam...what else could he be?”
C. McVie – “Well, Sam you know...he left my room at five or si--..five in the morning.
Mick clears his throat.
S. Nicks – “Hmm-mmm...”
C. McVie – “There were several other people there.”
S. Nicks – “Yeah really. Why wasn't I there?”
C. McVie – “I don't know why you weren't there. I think you were...”
S. Nicks – “I wish you had called me up. I was bored stiff.”
C. McVie – “I think you were on the bord…border of suicide or something.”
S. Nicks – “I was laying in my bed watching television.”
C. McVie - “Anyway, he goes outta my room to his own room.”
M. Fleetwood– “Really?”
C. McVie – “Lays down on---this is what he told me the next morning...He was so loaded that night.”
M. Fleetwood – “Got a hard on.”
C. McVie – “No, Mick.”
S. Nicks – “Oh, shut up.”

THank you so much. Gosh, I would sure love to hear everyone's voice! Amazing...

[GypsySorcerer]

Thank you, this is entertaining.

[ThePenguin]

To hear this interview is funny. To see it all transcribed is almost funnier.

That really is just classic. It lets you be a fly on the wall.

Christ, my IQ just dropped 12 points after reading all that.

I send kudos to whoever had the stomach to not only listen to that swill once, but to transcribe it, too. My hat is off to you, babe.

The rest of part II. Excuse it if it's not transcribed to full detail. It's hard to document incessant, pointless rambling and arguing.

Conversation Tapes Part II (continued) 6:38

M. Fleetwood – “If you can keep us on the straight and narrow, we'll be fine. Now, let me recap.”
S. Nicks – “Oh, I know what it was...I wanted to know where I could send my clothes out to be pressed. It was very important!”
M. Fleetwood – “No, no that was part of it.”
S. Nicks – “That was a big part of it.”
M. Fleetwood – “The biggest part of it...(S. Nicks – “How would you know? I hung up on you!) was what J.C. told me.
S. Nicks – “You were worthless.”
J.C. – “Your sequined gown.”
S. Nicks – “I don't have a sequined gown!”
M. Fleetwood – “He said…J.C. turned round to me and said, ‘I don't believe this. She’s on the phone. She’s out of her brain.”
S. Nicks – “I was not out of my brain!”
M. Fleetwood – “Let me finish. Let me finish.”
C. McVie - “Are you bull****ting with me?”
M. Fleetwood – “This is true.”
S. Nicks – “He's totally bull****ting, Chris.”
M. Fleetwood – “Alright. I'm totally bull****ting.”
S. Nicks – “Tuck was there. Robin was there. Chrissy was there.”
M. Fleetwood – “Shh. Shh.”
S. Nicks – “Bull****ting.”
M. Fleetwood – “Alright, bull****ting.”
S. Nicks – “I watched cartoons.”
M. Fleetwood – “Then J.C. is must have been making up the story but nonetheless this is the story.”
S. Nicks – “I never talked to J.C.!”
M. Fleetwood – “Yes, you did! That means you are definitely out to lunch!”
S. Nicks – “J.C. didn’t answer!”
M. Fleetwood – “You did talk to J.C.!”
J.C. gets more into the argument.
M. Fleetwood – “Oh for goodness sake!”
S. Nicks – “Oh late at night. They told me you were very busy….very, very busy. Okay, well…I didn’t want to bother you.”
M. Fleetwood – “Look, let me tell the story to Christine.”
S. Nicks – “Okay!”
M. Fleetwood – “J.C. was talking to you for maybe two…two and a half minutes…”
S. Nicks – “When?”
M. Fleetwood – “He turned ‘round to me, and I was sitting next to him. I caught the general gist of it. He said, ‘I don’t believe this.’ You were insisting upon Dwayne going up to your room, and the reason being was to escort Kay Delongpre.”
S. Nicks – “Oh! I was only kidding!”
M. Fleetwood – “Shh! Let me finish!”
J.C. – “Catherine of Aragon…”
S. Nicks – “Katherine Delongpre.”

There’s so much talking going on that I cannot catch everything. Placement was hard to do in the next part.

M. Fleetwood – “Yes…in a red wig, with lipstick, all the trimmings. And you want to go down the lobby and have a photograph session with Sam Emerson.”
S. Nicks – “We were only kidding! Not with Sam. I didn’t even know Sam was here.”
M. Fleetwood – “Well, it was believable in the circumstances.”
S. Nicks – “Well, that’s because we’ve talked about it so many times…about Kay Delongpre.”
M. Fleetwood – “I merely…when I got on the phone I merely…”
S. Nicks – “Kay Delongpre fading away. (I don’t know) and Flomingo…bedecked in jewels…rhinestones…”
M. Fleetwood – “See, now she's starting…”
S. Nicks – “…bracelets...down in the lobby 50 years old looking for action…”
C. McVie – “Well, you got her going now…You know how she is…”
M. Fleetwood – “See, it’s all true. It’s all true.”
S. Nicks - “Totally kidding. The four of us…totally kidding.”
C. McVie – “Were you kidding or were you out of it?”
S. Nicks – “Totally kidding. No, I was not out of it. Totally kidding.”
M. Fleetwood – “Well…alright if you were...”
S. Nicks – “Looking for somebody to tell me how to get this out to be pressed because there’s no…”
M. Fleetwood – “Hang on, hang on, hang on. The fact of the matter was we were in the middle of most…”
S. Nicks – “Well, I didn’t know.”
M. Fleetwood – “Most important decisions…”
S. Nicks – “Why didn’t you tell me then?”
M. Fleetwood – “J.C. did really tell you that and said, ‘Dwayne is busy and Dwayne is making travel arrangements on the other phone.’”
S. Nicks – “Alright! And I called the assistant…”
M. Fleetwood – “And you said, ‘**** that. I want to talk to him now and then I got on the phone.”
Stevie and Mick talking at the same time and still arguing.
C. McVie – “Can we have one voice at a time please?”
M. Fleetwood – “It's impossible. She won't stop.”
S. Nicks – “Mick, I called you later. I called the assistant manager asked him where I could send clothes in the morning.”
M. Fleetwood – “Deranged...she was drunk.”
S. Nicks – “And he told me the clothes went out. It was all perfectly done without your help. Thank you very much, and everything was fine and that’s the only thing I wanted. Period.”
M. Fleetwood – “Well, that’s what you said. You won’t phone me up again if you need any help.”
S. Nicks – “That’s right. That’s exactly what I meant. I wouldn’t.”
M. Fleetwood – “And all I was doing was explaining that Dwayne was on the other phone, and he would phone you back.
S. Nicks – “Well, everybody always tells us don’t do anything. Right, Chris? Don’t do anything without asking us.”
M. Fleetwood – “But you were saying you were going down the lobby…”
S. Nicks – “Nope.”
M. Fleetwood – “We understood it alright.”
S. Nicks – “Oh, Mick. I was only kidding. C’mon.”
M. Fleetwood – “You were joking. Alright, you were only kidding.”
S. Nicks – “I don't ever go anywhere by myself. Not even to the market!”
M. Fleetwood – “Well, it was quite forceful at this point.”
C. McVie – “I'm wondering…this is supposed to be world turning not the world ending. Turn the tape off.”
M. Fleetwood – “No, I will not turn the tape off!”
C. McVie – “So, I mean besides all that…what was the point?”
