Stevie sounded like she'd had a sex change to become a male gorilla, and Lindsey was not much better. So THAT'S the explanation.

What did the replacement sound like? Like the Gypsy version from the Dance Tour? (I can't remember -- did they perform Gypsy on the Dance?)

As for your insight into John McVie's submission to the set, I went back and read the paper insert. It says from his 1992 Solo album Gotta Band with Lola Thomas. I thought my CD player was acting up again and had switched CD's on me. (I just got it repaired!)

Thanks for answering my questions.

(On an unrelated note -- WOO HOO! I just hit 800 posts! You have to be reading ChitChat to understand.)

Oh well, sounds like someone slipped you the defective version! The replacement is basically the version that was on "The Dance" video, except Stevie doesn't sound so simean-like.

D'oh! Lola Thomas, not Carla Thomas! I stand corrected.

I haven't listened to this CD in eons... but I do recall that the version of "Twisted" on it is actually a little bit longer than any other version; I think it has a slightly extended fade...
