The Box Set? '25 Years ~ The Chain'

[kick.inside]

So am I the only one who isn't overly crazy about the extended version of Gypsy? It's my favorite song ever, but the extended version just doesn't do it for me. Maybe just becasue I haven't listened to it as much. Hmm.

Ohhhhhhhh yeah so my favorite Fleetwood Mac poster is an ad for The Chain (looks like this one http://bit.ly/j28cqD) so that's another favorite thing of mine - they had cool posters. Stupid, I know, but whatever.

So this compilation sounds awesome! I was wondering should I get it now...or listen to all the original songs first and then get the collection?

Love 'Heart of Stone'! Stevie's backup harmonies are great!

I have a question about 'Make Me A Mask'? Did Lindsey record this track with the band? Was this a song that would of been on a solo album?

From what I've read it was an unused track from the Out Of The Cradle sessions. So, it pretty much is just a Lindsey solo tune.

He DID do some vocal & guitar overdubs to "Paper Doll", even though it was the Behind The Mask incarnation that recorded the basic tracks.

Wow, I never knew that Lindsey did work on Paper Doll. Was this done during the Tango sessions?

"Love Shines" and "Heart of Stone" were my two favorites from this collection.

No, 'Paper Doll' is from 1992.

I've never seen that poster; it is very cool. It should have been the cover of the box set. If Gypsy is your favorite song, why on earth wouldn't you like the extended version? Very strange, because it's exactly the same song without the edits -- just a bit more to it. It doesn't "do it" for you just because you haven't listened to enough? That's crazy talk!
