I like When I see you again, but I don't like These strange times that much.

The Second Time is the WORST. I've never heard When You Say. I still like to think Danny Kirwan can do no wrong. Of course the only danny CD's I own are bare trees and future games, so i don't want to ruin his record

"When You Say" is Danny's ONLY stinker...out of all the tunes he did with FMac:

Jigsaw Puzzle Blues
Like It This Way
Only You
World's In A Tangle
Talk With You
One Sunny Day
Without You
Something Inside Of Me
World In Harmony (mostly Danny's tune, but Peter wrote the middle bit, so Danny gave him co-write credit)
Although The Sun Is Shining
Like Crying
Station Man
Tell Me All The Things You Do
Jewel Eyed Judy
Tell Me From The Start
Earl Grey (aka Farewell)
Sands Of Time
Sometimes
Woman Of A Thousand Years
Child Of Mine
Dust
Danny's Chant
Bare Trees
Sunny Side Of Heaven

To have ONE song that was pretty awful out of THIS list, is really allowable! (But, why Christine decided to record a version of it is beyond me!

And, also...don't avoid it just because I call it a "stinker"...listen for yourself...you might LIKE the song. (nothing against you if you do...there's some songs that a lot of folks here don't care for that I do & vice versa...your own ears are the best judge of how good a song is to you.)

I feela bit foolish now - I don't have any pre-BN albums (I saw an LP of Then play On in a shop - $A30 - worth it, in a sentimental sense? I have the Rumours LP, but no player. I know Then Play On is a great album).

Yet When Say On is one of my few pre-BN songs and I am a fan. It's very soothing and the climax just builds nicely like Over & Over. I would love to hear the Christine version - but where is that? Was it released on something?? The Legendary CP album?

BTW some thoughts on BTM (remeber the thread topic? lol). Was it so wise to have what looks like aband but is not FM on the cover? If I showed it to my friends they'd think that was the band, not the impressionistic strange thing it is.

Secodnly, its proabbly just that harmonica/accordion sound, bbut I JUST noticed a slight similarity between Affairs of the Heart and I Know I'm Not Wrong!! lol

Yes, Christine's version of When You Say is on her solo Christine Perfect album. I think her version is a bit better than Danny's version. While When You Say is not one of my favorite songs, I definitely don't hate it. It's an OK song.

I also think it was strange that the band didn't appear on the BTM cover, especially since this was the first studio album with this particular lineup of Fleetwood Mac. Maybe, it may have confused some people not very familiar with the new lineup when they saw the cover.

Take a gander back at their album covers...how many covers actually HAVE the band pictured?? I can't off the top of my head THINK of one. Sure, a couple have Mick (English Rose& HaHtF), the white album has Mick & John, Rumours has Mick & Stevie; that's it. Oh, wait..."Mirage" has Chris, Lindsey & Stevie.
