I doubt there'd be huge songwriting royalties for this tune seeing as it wasn't a hit nor was it on an album. Plus the publishing was split between several band members.
It wouldn't be the first time someone who's contributed hasn't received a credit. But i'm sure Mick would've given her something for her efforts. |

Is "The Purple Dancer" the only pre-Rumours track where two band members traded off singing lead vocals, as Danny and Jeremy did? Off hand, I can't think of another one.

Sorry for dredging up an old thread - just found it
Wasn't the song credited to Spencer / Kirwan / Fleetwood? If so, that's where she got the credit, via Mick - that's my guess. |

'The purple dancer' has been my favourite (official) FM song since the early eighties. I'm still hoping for a cd release... To my knowledge, 3 versions are available: the two on the "Madison Blues" CD and the 'official' version, released as the B-side of 'Dragonfly' and on a German (?) lp: "The Best of Fleetwood Mac". I have the single and 4 or 5 copies of the album. GJK (Going to see Peter Green on Saturday October 31st!) |

Those are the three versions that I know of, and I guess they stopped playing it live when (or before) Jeremy left. The 'best of' LP is German for sure. Was it never released on CD? The Dragonfly / Purple Dancer single came out in the UK with no picture sleeve, and in Germany and Holland with a couple of cool sleeves. Does anyone know if it was released anywhere else? Enjoy the gig |

I believe it was, but was taken out of print in fairly short order. I have the LP and have been looking for a CD copy for a number of years. Another "rarity" on that LP is the original 45 mix of "World In Harmony". I don't think that has seen the light of day on CD (those Vaudeville Years and ShowBiz Blues set versions are outtakes or alternate mixes)

Well, since we're digging up old threads, might as well add some more, too.
"Purple Dancer", yeah, probably, but they kept "Dragonfly" in the set well after Bob Welch joined. There's a video clip (BBC? Top Of The Pops?) of the Future Games/Bare Trees lineup playing "Dragonfly".

That's the awesome Beat Club programme from Germany. Bit like the British TOTP but probably better, plus they didn't wipe all their tapes during the 1980s There's footage of "Lay It All Down" from the same show.

There is the live recording of "The Purple Dancer" from shortly after Jeremy left the band, from San Bernardino in February 1971. Peter Green on rhythm guitar on this one.
