The record company would probably prefer for them not to make an entire new album at this point. Let's face it, with the costs - it's not going to bring them much profit. WB/Reprise would much rather focus on their catalog (Rumours re-releases, etc.) and continue banking on the past...releasing a couple of songs on iTunes won't make them much money, but they don't stand to lose much either...so, if it satisfies the band - why not?

From the band's standpoint - the couple of songs could help promote their tour, which is the big cash cow.
