Hi! Now that I read all your comments, I only can blame Lindsey for all of that...

NOPE!! Hahaha just kidding

Lindsey definitely took the production in bad moments...Tusk, because it was "not Rumours", so it's not that popular...Tango, because it was "too plastic", so it left some radio tracks and nothing else...And then OOTC, because it was "not according to the time", so it made him disappear some years before the FM returning...¡Ay caramba!

He put his best efforts on three albums that went to trash after some years because of the times they were recorded! But come on, most of the 1987 music was plastic and synth-made...Of course we can't compare TITN with the Peter Green or Welch/Kirwan times, but it's a very nice album.

Oh, and about the tweet, I posted that I love Big Love but my fav one is You & I, Part I...I think I'm the only one hehe

The fact they didn't take a promo pic when they were doing the Big Love video on the beach is an all-time tragedy.

True, I wonder who the girl was in the video. A model of some sort.

I think the point is that it doesn't hold up to the standard that White, Rumours, Tusk, and Mirage set. Those albums sound like THE BAND, not some stupid computer.

Tango is the AI for 1987!

I thought it sounded pretty interchangeable with “Go Insane.”

I agree. It would be like comparing The Works with A Night at the Opera.

They’re definitely cousins, but I wouldn’t say interchangeable.

In the context of a FM album, Big Love sounds new, sounds different, weirder for sure, and oddly more of a solo statement than Go Insane, which is solo. The bulk of Tango sounds like cleverly-disguised reiterations of previous modes.

For what it’s worth, Stand Back is a new kind of song for Stevie. But not a FM song.

I thought If Anyone Falls and Stand Back were brilliant for Stevie.

One more year of the Tango anniversary. I hadn't remember but just saw this post in Facebook.

Funny this picture, it seems Christine is reminding us Rumours.

Seven Wonders stripped down to bass and vocals. She definitely sings rainbow's edge at the end of this early version

I missed this last year - very interesting... It sounds to me that she's singing 'Sara' before the second and third verses, or at least, 'ara'! Am I right? I've never been able to decipher it. I always wondered if it was 'ever' or 'never', but 'Sara' would make a lot more sense!

I like the group photo with Stevie and the hat and Chris staring at the camera with her arms crossed. Its a few clicks in on that Facebook link. Can't recall if I've seen that before.

It's "Tara", or that was the consesus in this forum long ago.

I don't think I've seen it either. But it seems it was from the same photo session where they all are smiling, though different clothes.

I think her adding Tara and saying rainbow's "edge" instead of end in the first chorus justified her getting co-writing credits

Right! That makes sense. Another of those ancient mysteries, finally solved.
