Thanks to Wetcamelfood for the first two Bob Weston and the Dave Walker Band. The other Bob Weston is from the CD that was sold on the ledge many years ago.

I have Mac osx and the application (via the link you suggested) is apparently not free. Yet the order form doesn't stipulate how much it is. I'm not trusting this. Maybe I'll go to apple and find out. In the meantime, if anyone has those files formatted for I-tunes, I could open those...

Well the trick with WINRAR is that you just download the 30 day trial version (not sure about the Mac version but the trial version doesn't cost anything to download and use for 30 days). The standard Windows version then throws up a reminder every time you use it after 30 days that you should register, but doesn't actually stop you using it.

It costs about $29 to buy (which is I think US $).

Can you unzip .zip files? If so I could make some and send them to you...

Studio Picks - http://www.sendspace.com/file/8n50le

Nightlight - http://www.sendspace.com/file/7mmxep

There is a Heaven - http://www.sendspace.com/file/butyp3

Dave Walker Band (1979) - http://www.sendspace.com/file/6rqffr

3) Rick Vito - Pink & Black
4) Mick Fleetwood's Zoo - I'm Not Me
5) Paris - Big Towne 2061

10) Buckingham Nicks

The "second ten"

DISCLAIMER: Since Dave Mason was already an established star before joining Fleetwood Mac, I didn't consider his albums for this list.

Ha. Well, now I don't know whether I can list Christine Perfect's album or not.

Much appreciation to you for providing these downloads. Thanks!

1. Out of the Cradle

2. In the Meantime

3. Law and Order

4. The Wild Heart

5. Bella Donna

6. Trouble in Shangri-La

7. Christine Perfect

8. French Kiss

9. Christine McVie

10. Under the Skin

(I almost put The Visitor in #10).

If I were making the list again, I'd probably swap in Becka and Billy somehwere (great record, consistent sound!), and either P G's Into the Skies or Little Dreamer. And remove...
