Thanks for finding and posting the link to "The Purple Dancer" mp3 file, slipkid! I have the studio version on the German The Best of Fleetwood Mac LP but there are some annoying pops on the vinyl. The studio version has been my favorite - I prefer it to the Madison Blues versions - of course that may be at least partly due to the studio version being the only one I had for many years. But it's still among my favorite of the band's songs from the early '70s.
Great recollection on the writing of the song, Jeremy - thanks!
