It was an afterthought because of the short promotion, otherwise LIS would have fit perfectly within the album momentum.
According to Mick's book (yeah well if you can stand Homer's obsession with the goat, you can also stand mind with that book

I felt sick when we stopped touring. Mirage was number one and sales were strong in cities where we'd played. I wanted to be on the move, touring until the cows came home, but the others were less enthusiastic. Christine had sessions for her own solo album scheduled, and we'd been lucky to get Stevie at all. As soon as we left the road, Mirage died after five weeks at number one. The Australian band Men at Work, who had opened for us on the road, saw their album go to numberone shortly thereafter.
