You're entirely write about the writing credits - on Amazon.ca I can zoom very clearly on the packaging and that's exactly what I see too.

The other co-producers are Mark Needham (tracks 2 4 6 8 10)
and Mitchell Froom (3 7 9)
Tracks 1 and 5 are produced by Lindsey and no one else.

Mitchell Froom's resume is pretty damn impressive.

I'm hoping the co-producer brings out some magic. I loved LB as produced by Jon Brion on the This Is 40 soundtrack.

Can't wait!

Its still very pixilated and difficult to read but I think I can make out;

Tracks 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 by Lindsey Buckingham (Sleeping Around the Corner, In My World, Love is Here to Stay, Lay Down For Free and On With The Show)
Tracks 2, 4 and 6 by Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie (Feel About You, Red Sun, Too Far Gone)
Tracks 8 and 10 by Christine McVie (Game of Pretend, Carnival Begin)

...but I cant be certain on some of them.


Also, 5 of the songs are produced by LB and co-produced by someone else (that I cant make out)
3 of the songs are produced by LB and someone else (different to the first name, I think)
2 of the songs are produced by LB

Thank you so much!

So it's not Buckingham McVie, it's Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie?

Honestly both are kind of long and not creative they should've just made an actual name.

I'm glad to hear there are coproducers involved. I think they help rein in when Lindsey gets a little too many sounds in his head. I agree about the This is 40 songs.

Thanks for the tip- that's so much easier, you can clearly read everything.

I've got a bee in my bonnet about the cover.
Packaging by Jeri Heiden for Smog Design;

Jeri was born in New Jersey and moved to the Central Coast of California at age 10. She studied graphic design & packaging at Pepperdine University and Art Center College of Design. Prior to joining Smog in 1999, she spent 17 years working in the music industry at Warner Bros. Records and A&M Records as an executive and creative director. Her work can be seen on over 400 album campaigns and she has received 4 Grammy® nominations for packaging design.

A good pedigree- maybe she had an off-week

Grrrr, if only that text was just a little bigger- I cant quite make anything out.

That picture should have absolutely been the album cover. Who makes these decisions?

Why no piano? Why not some great pic of them doing something together like some of the earlier publicity photos? Wonder if his wife did the photos?

it is awful...what is going on with Lindsey's jeans?? BUT I'm really, really looking forward to the music so the cover is not that big of a deal.

The "what the hell is doing to her and why do they both have mustaches??" cover:




The "who needs sleep when you've got coke?" cover:




the "is it hot in here?" cover:




the "you're so cute when you're drunk" cover:




the "maybe coffee isn't such a great replacement for coke after all" cover:




the "pssst, let's you and I go make an album together, it'll be so much better" cover:




the "let's not be all artsy let's just be real and show everyone how much fun we have working together" cover (or at least inner sleeve photo):

[CarnivalBegin]

bombaysaffires ... all your alternate covers were hilarious!

I'm sure those are the leftover 2012 songs as the EP songs were co-produced by Froom.

[FuzzyPlum]

I'd vote the "maybe coffee isn't such a great replacement for coke after all" cover but with an artistic filter applied to make it look a bit like the 'Live' album cover art.

The second producer (three songs) appears to be with Mitchell Froom (produced songs for LB on the This Is 40 soundtrack).

I really don't care about the album cover. And heck, at least the picture is in focus. How many album covers are there with blurry, out of focus pictures that any self-respecting photographer would just delete? (For instance, the Mick Fleetwood Blues Band DVD cover.)

Other than Lindsey looking too serious, I think this cover is fine. I think Christine looks fantastic! And, let's be grateful that it's an actual picture of the two of them, not some unrelated "work of art." (Like the Behind the Mask cover, or that godawful Time cover, for instance.)
