But the boys are playing the game with her, in the hope she'll add something the coming year, So they can put it out.

I understand what you're saying. I think, however, that they already have carte blanche to do whatever they wish with those remaining tracks -- with or without Stevie's blessing. They're not Fleetwood Mac songs, so I doubt that there are any ownership issues. They're Lindsey Buckingham songs, with Mick & John on them. As such, they could release them to iTunes tomorrow if they really wanted to.

Like you said, Gerald -- they took a risk. Who knows, maybe it will still pay off. Maybe it won't. But Stevie's not holding the songs for ransom (not that you implied that she is), and we'll get to hear them some day.

In the meantime (like what I did there? ), I wouldn't be surprised if Mick's been putting a bug in Christine's ear about these new songs of Lindsey's that are already largely finished.
