Like Luke said, Ricky is a Christine song, and Book of Miracles is Lindsey's instrumental arrangement of Juliet which was written by Stevie. There's a really good Tango outtake of Juliet, stylistically pretty much like Think About Me mixed with Angel or something. That would make a great bonus track if they remaster it!

Where can I hear Ricky without having to go hunting for 45s and whatnot? Does anyone have a MP3 of it?

So wait, Juliet was a colaboration between Lindsey and Stevie? Based on what I heard so far, Juliet was almost a Mac song, but we got the instruemental version Book of Miracles instead and the full Juliet ended up on Other Side of the Mirror(sorry, haven't really paid attention the album after Rooms on Fire and Long Way to Go)?

I don't mean to ask so many questions folks. This era has me intrigued now

Juliet was written by Stevie alone, Book of Miracles is just Lindsey's own instrumental arrangement of it. I don't like OSOTM much at all but I love Juliet and Book of Miracles!

Thanks Rowan I shall download 'em later.

Also, does anyone know why You and I Part II and not Part I is on the album? I always found that a bit strange and, when I was first getting into the Mac, I just figured Part I was on Mirage or something, not an entire B-side

It was left off at the last minute, in favor of a Stevie song that made it on at the last minute.

I think I know Part I, but if that Stevie song wasn't 7 Wonders, I must ask one thing: what in hell were they thinking?!

From what I heard, Warner Bros insisted that three, not two, Stevie songs get on the record.
