What will be the fate of the other new 20 songs not available on the new album??

Hi Macgang,

I was a bit depressed to read that the new Mac album has been edited down to a single cd. I must say I was kind of expecting it to happen despite Mick´s statements about it definitely being a double cd set. I can understand this only from the record company´s point of view, in keeping with the double album Tusk release in 1979, they probably didn´t make as much money as they had hoped, after all it was priced $15.98 which was a lot then.

I do hope however that the other (about 20?) songs won´t lie rotting in the vaults of Reprise. You ask yourself how many others are there just waiting to be released from the band´s mid- seventies classic line-up, the idea alone is a mouthwatering prospect! Maybe it is a marketing ploy to see whether the band can still attract mass attention around the world with their new album, then do the world tour and if both are a huge success, then release the second disc in about two years.

What do you fans think of all this?
