Tango In The Night nit picks

[SpyNote]

I was really excited when Tango in the Night first came out. I bought the cassette, record, and "Big Love" 45 all at once. I played "You and I, Part I" repeatedly, but not so much "Big Love." I actually loved all of the other b-sides..."Book of Miracles," "Ricky," and "Down Endless Street"...more than anything on the album. So I would love a reissue for just those tracks. I also loved all of the whimsical artwork for the the singles.

You and I part 1 would be my choice for an album closer.

I actually agree - the You and I pair serve as perfect bookends for this album.

I get a bit nostalgic though listening to Down Endless Street since it was not released until shortly after he quit the band and I always thought of it as Lindsey's farewell song to Fleetwood Mac, given the song's lyrics.

Well you say you'll be fine
When you walk out that door
Oh will it be that easy
To see me no more?

Well, will you be fine?
Are you complete?
Say you'll survive
Down Endless Street
Down Endless Street
Down Endless Street

Well say you'll be fine
When you walk out that door
Oh, will it be that easy
To see me no more?

Will you survive?
Are you complete?
Say you'll be fine
Down Endless Street
Down Endless Street
Down Endless Street

Dr. Brown, that's an interesting take on "Down Endless Street." I'd always assumed it was about Stevie or Carol Ann. But now that you mention this, I think your view fits much better, especially given the time the song was put out as a B-side.
