HOLD ME FLEETWOOD MAC ORIGINAL VIDEO MAC

Of Christine McVie's four compositions, three were written in collaboration with other writers: ' Love in Store' with Jim Recor, ex-husband of Nicks' friend Sara Recor who later married Mick Fleetwood, ' Hold Me' with singer-songwriter Robbie Patton whose second album she had recently produced and 'Wish You Were Here' with lyrics from erstwhile John Mayall drummer Colin Allen. 'Straight Back' was also a US rock radio hit in late 1982.

Of the other two compositions from Nicks on the album, 'That's Alright' dated back to the Buckingham Nicks days of 1974, while 'Straight Back' was written in the winter of 1981 and referred to her separation from then-lover, producer Jimmy Iovine, and the huge wrench she experienced having to leave her newly established and highly successful solo career to rejoin Fleetwood Mac for the 1982 project (Nicks refers to this on the DVD commentary to her 2008 retrospective Crystal Visions – The Very Best of Stevie Nicks). The latter version was (initially) used in the video, and was not available on CD until the release of 1992's retrospective box set 25 Years – The Chain. The edited version of 'Gypsy' that appears on the album and single releases runs for only 4:24, but a 5½-minute version had been originally recorded. The Stevie Nicks composition ' Gypsy' (#12 Pop, #4 Rock, and a #16 hit in Canada) was the second single from the album and was accompanied by a lengthy video directed by Russell Mulcahy.

By this time Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, and Lindsey Buckingham had each commenced a solo career, the former to multi-platinum #1 success with 1981's Bella Donna, the latter faring not as well with his first outing Law and Order (US Billboard #32). Following a hiatus of over a year after the completion of the worldwide Tusk tour, the band temporarily relocated to Château d'Hérouville in France to record a new album.
