The first time they're going to be able to spend a good amount of time together in the studio will be the first of the year 2015. If they pick up the pace like Stevie's doing with her new record, then they could feasibly have something out by Summer 2015...but I really just don't think that's going to happen. I guess we'll see.

Yes, I agree. I'm just hanging my hat on what Chris said in the interview. The album can and will be recorded from every and any where. I still get the sense it's getting Stevie's stamp on the album to the complete the project.

Mark my words....they will take a month off and then get together to finish the album mid January with it being done by end of February/early March. Then we will get an early summer release and more tour dates. You all do remember that 2015 will be the 40th anniversary of the lineup right? Imagine the media coverage

Dave doesn't have do this, and I'm sure he has to work very hard to cajole SN into allowing him to release any info/imagery about the record. I for one like the teasers.

And, it's all free.

so well put. I remember practically foaming at the mouth, waiting for TOSOTM to come out. We had the single but that was it. Nothing like today. I'm very grateful for Dave and honestly, hearing the snippets has made me more anxious for this record cause everything sounds so good so far!

Christine also anticipates FM album release some time around April 2015, so i guess SN's album this fall would make sense.

As most of us suspected, Stevie needed to fulfill her Reprise/Warner contract, and had to do so much quicker than perhaps was planned when Christine suddenly announced she wanted back into FM. I fully expect Stevie & Reprise will meet the goal of the October release with "24Karat"/"Songs From The Vault" or whatever this project ends up being titled. I'm sure they don't even want it delayed into November, as that competes with a bunch of X-mas releases. Stevie will obviously have to cross-promote while on the road with FM, doing her usual round of mega-press interviews, and maybe one or two live promotional solo performances here or there on TV shows while in New York or L.A. Maybe FM allowed for @4-5 days off for her to promote (need to look at the tour dates closer) while on the road, as she did for "Soundstage-Live In Chicago" during FM's Unleashed Tour in 09'.

I think the majority of the FM album is done, with the exception of Stevie's input. But if Christine is indicating that her & Stevie co-wrote, there may be Stevie songs ready to go (plus a few she probably held back from her current solo sessions).So as soon as Stevie finishes up "24 Karat", which she is very close to doing - they may have mixed the remaing 4 out of 16 songs this past Sunday for all we know.

As far as the FM aiming for April 2015 to release their new record, that makes sense strategically, to capitalize on Christine being back with the European FM fan base while touring the UK. Maybe they see the UK being their best ally for commercial success (especially with Chris back in the fold) & that spreading to the U.S. instead of the reverse. If they can make it happen, I'll be VERY impressed. In the meantime, I cannot wait for Stevie's new release! We likey may be hearing a song (advance single) as soon as August (maybe sooner!!) with everything happening so quickly! What a AMAZING time to be a Stevie/FM fan!!!

I think we will get this album in October like planned.

I concur! Given that ten years went by before Stevie made a new album, as well as Fleetwood Mac's lengthy absence from the recording studio...this is truly amazing! I think they will be equally successful in the US and the UK, as well as Europe.

yes. FM has 9 days off at the beginning of November (between Nov 1-10). at the time before it was known that SN was recording a solo album and we just knew about the FM recording sessions, some of us were hoping that was left free as the time when they will promote /release their new album. now it looks almost clear those 10 days are slotted for SN's album release.

BINGO! So based upon this 8 day gap between dates during FM's touring schedule, one could speculate release dates. Perhaps, 24 Karat Gold will drop Tuesday, October 28th or November 4th!

I think the contract obligation may confirm FM will not be associated with WB. If they we're, I highly suspect WB/Reprise would negotiate for the solo album to be released later since the FM line up is where the big money will be. Any thoughts on this?

I think the majority of the FM album is done, with the exception of Stevie's input. But if Christine is indicating that her & Stevie co-wrote, there may be Stevie songs ready to go (plus a few she probably held back from her current solo sessions).So as soon as Stevie finishes up "24 Karat", which she is very close to doing - they may have mixed the remaing 4 out of 16 songs this past Sunday for all we know.

I hardly think the album is done. Once Stevie is done recording her album, I believe she will bring her songs to the table to be recorded.
The band understands Stevie's prior obligations.

This isn't going to be a Christine/Lindsey album, with Stevie just guesting. And from what Christine said, she did not state the she co-wrote anything with Stevie. It was just a thought she was entertaining. Assumptions presented as fact just perpetuates misinformation.

She better not of held back too much for Fleetwood Mac. Meaning she better of used her good demos for her solo record. Fleetwood Mac can have her new stuff. I don't want a solo record full of Starshines and 24 Karat Golds. I want the good stuff.

Emphasized Christopher's post for context. To say he was presenting assumptions as facts isn't, well, factual.

You mean it won't be Tango in the Night 2, then?

I never indicated in my previous post that FM's record was "going to be a Christine/Linsdey album with Stevie just guesting." Nor have I ever believed that would be the case, and still don't. And only expressed that if Christine indicated co-writing with Stevie that there may be new Stevie songs ready to go, based upon Elle's initial post on the "Rumours" board via Fleetwoodmacnews.com, which only highlighted Christine interview "excerpts" from BASCA The Works Magazine. Later, when Nicole was kind enough to type out the entire interview (I was unable to open the link) I then knew that this has yet to happen. However, it's positive that Christine seems more open to it that she has ever been.
