Elmer Gantry and Kirby interview from 2018, I think:

They basically claim they were set up. Gantry claims he was anonymously sent court papers in which Mick apparently admitted in court he had been to their house to discuss performing as Fleetwood Mac. "Murky" is the word which springs to mind.



"This year is the first time we've had any relief from this situation because somebody kind of anonymously sent us court papers- I didn't know until this year that Mick Fleetwood had to admit in court that he'd been to our house, I didn't know that.

I got the documents old documents you know from bloody 35 years ago when he was in court and he had to admit that he came to our house and had a meeting about forming a new Fleetwood Mac but imagine the amount of damage over three decades of damage being done before we can actually say anything about it- once I'd got that information I said I'd like to do an interview now and say okay we could say this because he's actually admitted what's always been kind of unsaid"

There are some intriguing bits of info in that document. Bob Welch did not sign a publishing agreement with Davis until the end of 1972, whereas Christine signed hers at the beginning of 1971. Was Welch strongarmed into it?

Also, this:

“…In the case of Mrs. Mcvie, she promised to deliver to the publisher at least one complete musical composition a month.”

“10
(3) The publisher was not bound to publish any of the works. At any rate, he did. not give any positive undertaking to do so. All he did was to promise Mrs. Mcvie that he would use his best endeavours to launch her works to the fullest extent. There was no such promise to Mr. Welch; but it may perhaps be implied.”

Did Christine write one song a month and submit it to Davis? If so, why never more than 4 songs (and often less) on those albums ?
