EP was just Lindsey's way of getting Stevie on board. "It's not a full album, what's the problem?"

What happened, why Stevie's on board, even though "we should wait three years before going back out," is Christine McVie. Christine's return is all that was needed for Stevie to be fully involved.

If they're smart, they won't care what label they're on. The album's paid for, BY THE BAND, what else does a label really need? I'd rather they sign with somebody like Matador and get a few ounces more of credibility than by going back to WB, although, I don't really care.

I don't think so. Sure, there will be a smaller scale, but remember that Say You Will went right to the top five in its opening week. I do think this could be the kind of record that generates a lot of sales and critical interest.

Maybe they are already talking to WB, as one of Lindsey's comments indicated awhile back. But if they aren't, they will keep waiting for a record company, while we fans would rather they just get it out independently, ASAP.

agree. shopping or waiting for label will just cause a delay. would much rather to have that album out sooner.

I don't think they'll halt work while shopping labels, quite the contrary. If the Destiny Rules documentary is true to life & linear, the band had been recording Say You Will for months when they started shopping labels. They needed material to sell to labels, and they kept on working while that bidding process panned out. I think the band has to be on their best behavior during the vetting phase if they expect to get a palatable deal, which I fully expect them to do.

^^^^and even if they don't go with Warner's, I doubt they would have difficulty getting a label to release it.

true... but SYW took a long time to record. and labels have business agendas and pecking order which artists' work they want to put out when, i would think, they wouldn't just release the album when it's done.

what could they expect from the label? publicity / marketing for one, which they obviously do extremely sloppily on their own... i guess they have to weigh pros and cons.

Is there any real proof, other than pics of guitars and Micks equipment trunks that they ARE in the studio right now? Cuz I'm not sold with that alone.

If so, a simple, effective marketing thing to do would be to tweet, fb, whatever, a photo or comment once a week about how things are going. It would definitely get the fans excited not to mention the word out. Plus, it's FREE.

But what do I know.

Yeah, why the hell can't at least one of the 5 be active on social media to give us real updates. I feel like it would be right up micks alley at least.

I feel like with this band there are just too many cooks in the kitchen.

No one is on social media on behalf of the band because everyone and their handlers would want a say about what could be said or not said, how it should be said, when it should be said etc.

It's fine for them to have teams of advisors for their solo stuff but there should be a dedicated team that is Fleetwood Mac only. Never gonna happen.

So as usual nothing gets done because of, as Lindsey says, the political situation within/around the band.

"Let's tweet that we're recording and include a picture!" "No, I don't want a picture" "A picture is fine but I don't like that picture, I want a different picture" "I don't think we should tweet anything just yet" and etc etc etc.

I think your right the EP was just Lindsey's way of trying to show Stevie that they can and should record together again. I don't know what happened after the SYW tour that made Stevie swear off recording with Lindsey again, but she said they had a good time recording the EP and doing some crazy photo shoot together so I guess (for now) they want to work together again.

I always thought that "3 years apart so fans don't get tired of us" thing Stevie kept saying was just her excuse to take a break from having to deal Lindsey for a few years.

I don't think Christine coming back to the group is the sole reason Stevie decide to do a new CD with the band (although I'm sure it did help a lot) but I think her new found friendship with Lindsey is a much bigger part of it. She and Lindsey have both said that they are much better musically as a team than separate, so if the two of them have now finally made peace with each other it seems only natural that the two of them would want to work together again.

I'm wondering if the band is still going to work with Mitchell Froom or any other producer for that matter (Dave Stewart

) or if now that the band members have all made up and (at least for now) are happy Lindsey will again be producing this CD?

Mick Fleetwood dropped by Kate Mantilini’s in Beverly Hills for a late lunch. Ashton Kutcher met Mila Kunis at Eveleigh on Sunset Boulevard for dinner.
