Mr. Sorcinelli, I loved this article and thank you for writing it. But I was wondering if you could provide any info about an issue it doesn't address (perhaps because it amounts to nothing more than, no pun intended, rumors!).
For years I've heard here and there on the internet that Mick Fleetwood and maybe John McVie were in such bad shape at the time of the making of Tango in the Night that one or both of them contributed either little or absolutely nothing to the actual making of the music on the record. That one or both of them was even barred from the studio (by Buckingham?) and just showed up for the album's photo shoot.
Do you know if there's any truth to that? Did either or both of them not play anything, or play little, for the album? Or were they all-in contributors to the recording sessions? Or somewhere in between?
