Wildheart, youre welcome! I love being able to share music!!

And thank you Matthew for posting the links of the demos Betsy mentioned, and to you SimleAtYou for posting the two you did!

Since the computer crash I havent been able to hear some of my favourite songs [like Down Endless Street and the Alt version of WISYA[, and this really means a lot to someone like me!

Mac may have tracked it at some point (I think the title is brought up in a band print interview in the early 1980s), but if it was tracked, this ain't it.

I've always thought the same thing, but I've never heard otherwise...much as I love the song, and think it should be on an album, it never would have fit on Tango...

Sounds like a RAL track to me.

I agree. Mick says in his book that it was a track she brought with her to the sessions. She had just finished touring for RAL. It was probably in her garbage bin.

For the record, here in the UK:

You And I Part I (Buckingham), was the B-side of Big Love
Book Of Miracles (Nicks?) - back of Seven Wonders
Ricky (McVie/Buckingham IIRC) - back of Little Lies
Down Endless Street (Buckingham) - back of Family Man
What Has Rock 'n' Roll was brought along to the Tango sessions but not used

The rest are a closed book to me. What is the writing credit for Special Kind Of Love?

Thanks by the way for posting all these. Great to hear You And I Part 1 again - Big Love was my first Fleetwood Mac record so the waves of nostalgia crash over me. I now intend to listen to both parts back to back.

I agree with you & demon. It ain't Mac playing that. It's amazing just how many people have passed it around saying it's Fleetwood. It's been years & thousands of people later. Didn't they even listen to it?

I also have my doubts about Joan of Arc, but that's a thornier musical case, because it's pure programming with one (I guess) slide lead guitar line, as I recall.

Now there IS a real Christine McVie demo -- of Everywhere -- that was played on Timothy White's Rock Stars radio show. It's a drum machine, a bass & some Yamaha DX7 keyboard. It's a beeeeyoot.

There is no writing "credit" for it because it was bootlegged initially -- there was no official release. I think it first got circulated on the Missing Links CD box. Anyone remember for sure?

Here is Christine's demo of Everywhere:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ac4vtvwoims

Now, can anyone post the demos of "Big Love" and "Caroline"?
And, if anyone has the version of "you and I" with Christine's vocal, I would especially love to hear that!

funkystuff, I'd be glad to send you Christine's vocal but I need your email. I simply don't know how to use yousendit any other way. (I am challenged by technology).

Or. if someone else wants to post it, go for it. Either way, let me know and it's yours.

aleuzzi, I sent you a message with my email... let me know if it works... I'm so excited to hear this version cuz i only just found out it existed... Thanks so much!

funkystuff08 · #27 03-12-2008, 12:08 AM

I uploaded Christine's version of "You and I Pt. 2" if anyone wants. I think it is beautiful and I prefer it to the released version!

I am still looking for the "Big Love" and "Caroline" demos, if anyone can post those

Much thanks!

I'm leaning toward thinking Joan is a FM demo. The quirky synth part sounds like something Lindsey would have done. Plus, Stevie's voice sounds more weathered as if it was recorded well into the RAL tour. Remember, Stevie recorded some vocals while she was on the road. Anywho...

Thanks for the Everywhere demo...I listened and taped that Timothy White special when it originally aired but the tape has long since disappeared or was taped over. Apparently I had issues with taping over things many years ago...I have since become an avid labeler with everything everywhere now! Pun intended!

This one was on a Tango set and it's called

Caroline (alternate version)

http://www.mediafire.com/?lkx1gjxmtwz

As for Big Love, there are three versions on the set.

Big Love (extended remix)

Big Love (House on the Hill dub)

Big Love (piano dub)

Do you want one of these?

funkystuff08 · #30 03-12-2008, 03:26 PM

Thanks for that one!

I already have those "Big Love" remixes you mentioned... I'm looking for Lindsey's solo demo which has mostly mumbling vocals... I used to have it on a casette of an outtake compilation called "The Dream has Just Begun".
