As for money, I would imagine that FM is getting most of that from concert people like Live Nation and don't expect to make money off of the album. They may just not be willing to lose any money on it either, though.

I agree with you, I think they should be more daring. But atlas, to coin Lindsey's tired old phase, this is the "big machine!"
Also, both Stevie & Lindsey by now are fully aware of the constraints of recording on a budget these days. Lindsey in his home studio, while Stevie did the bulk of recording at her home, and Reprise/WB gave her @2 weeks budget to finish recording drums & overdubs at a professional studio.
It would be interesting to know if Stevie made or lost money on In Your Dreams? Of course, if she lost money, she recouped on the road, just as Fleetwood Mac will.

The extravagant days of recording are over with this band! No more French chateau's, or renting out mansions in Bel Air, I'm seeing back to Studio City type recording, which probably bodes well creatively speaking & expediting the record to fruition.
