Even better would be an album *before* the tour, that could also be sold *at* the tour merchandise booth, like so many other artists do.

Exactly! That is what should and could happen. This way the CD will be sold to the folks that just go to the shows for the classics only and don't buy the new stuff.

The concept of selling CDs at a concert seems to totally elude them. They just can't even. Michele

I'm assuming this wasn't something anyone did in the 70s or 80s.

I think Fleetwood Mac could have seriously boosted sales figures of Say You Will if the album had been sold at the shows.

And that 'unleashed' tour or whatever it was, would have been a great time to sell those first three remasters that they claim sold poorly.

Since Lindsey's studio is of the garage basement variety, I'm guessing it would be too snug for the full band & it's ever present entourage of assistants, friends, family members, managers, etc. I'm thinking Lindsey's studio is set up for his solo albums- I doubt it has the necessary multiple isolation booths, seperate control room, etc required for a full band to record.

Most of the country concerts I attended years back the artists always sold their CD's along with their tee shirts.

I have not been to a country concert in years since I'm not into the current artists.I suppose they are selling CD's at their shows currently.

Atlease the new tour was promoted after the interview on channel 4 this morning.I was surprised to see that.

I am bummed that the People story pretty much says the new album isn't going to happen this year. Or possibly ever. Really bummed. I would have rather had Christine record her new songs on her own. This year.

I am bummed that the band is wasting their money recording at the Village. Lord knows, NOTHING will come of that.

LOL! That's my feeling too. I think they are working out some business before making anything official on the album. I know how these people operate.

Linsdey: Ok, make sure you don't say too much about the album because we don't know when it's going to be done or released for that matter.
Mick: But they are going to ask why we are recording, and ask about, The Village.
Linsdey: I know, just be vague about it.
Christine: Well we certainly know how to do that. (cackles.... )
Stevie: Ok, what are you guys talking about?
John: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,, wha.. huh?

OK, I don't get what everyone is upset about. Yes, we will be getting a new album. They wouldn't even be wasting their time nor money if that wasn't even the case. So, I hate when people tell me this, and this might get people angry too, but everybody needs to calm down. We will get music sooner or later.

In the meantime (heh), the whole Rumours line-up is freakin going on tour! never in my wildest dreams was this ever a possibility. I waited ten of those 15 years for this. Let us rejoice, reconvene and simply be excited! No photos have been photoshopped, music is coming, and freaking Christine McVie is back and doing pushups somewhere in L.A. with Mick.

Be excited! Not down. Thank you.

The minute it was suggested Christine possibly could be coming back, there was a segment of fans who were all bummed out because the Buckingham Nicks reunion wasn't going to happen. As if it was ever actually going to happen.

I'm sorry but you appear to be the only person bringing this up from what I can tell. Certainly, those apparently delusional BN fans haven't been flooding the threads with sentiments such as those. I would venture to say most are extremely pleased about Christine's return, actually. Any hesitance in getting excited on The Ledge - and most other places - appears to stem from concerns about whether they'll do an album and Stevie's apparent reticence to give songs, possible setlist disappointment and things such as that (and a few people here and there who would prefer SnL to do solo tours). Really, from all the comments I've read online I've maybe talked to four people (a VERY small segment and a reasonably quiet one) altogether TOPS who are even a little 'bummed out' about the not-Buckingham-Nicks aspect of this. So I'm not really sure where this is all coming from, to be frank. And I speak as a person who still has hope for said 'reunion' and isn't in throes of rapture over Christine's return. I certainly wouldn't go around this board whining and complaining, mostly because I'm well aware of the pointlessness as well as the selfishness of doing so in the light of the perfectly logical and lovely-to-see thrill people have at Chris' return.

"Stevie's been not sure how she wants to approach recording or when," he says. "Mick, John and I have cut great stuff with (producer) Mitchell Froom and now I'm producing Christine's stuff.

"The next album will be a mix of things. We've done some strange things with one of Christine's songs already. It's going to sound like Fleetwood Mac but not overly retro. It's not that we're making any bold effort to sound like somebody else. Some of what we've done in the past has reference points that have come back, and what might have seemed retro is more relevant in today's market."
