Christine McVie Songbird ( A Solo Collection+2 Unreleased Tracks) ( vinyl LP )

Release date: 25-06-2022

2022 EU issue on standard  LP - First Ever Compilation 

Christine McVie was not only the songwriter and vocalist for many of Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits (“Don’t Stop”, “Everywhere” and “Little Lies”), but she also released some stunning solo albums during her Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame career. Rhino puts those recordings center stage on the very first compilation to spotlight McVie as solo artist.

Tracks:
A1 Friend
A2 Sweet Revenge
A3 The Challenge
A4 Northern Star
A5 Ask Anybody
B1 Slowdown
B2 Easy Come, Easy Go
B3 Giving It Back
B4 All You Gotta Do
B5 Songbird

The collection features songs that were remastered by legendary producer Glyn Johns, who worked closely with McVie on the project. SONGBIRD includes a selection of songs from two of her solo albums – 1984’s Christine McVie and 2004’s In The Meantime – plus two previously unreleased studio recordings including “Slowdown,” which was originally written for the 1985 film American Flyers. Another song that has never been released is “All You Gotta Do,” a duet that Christine recorded with George Hawkins while making In The Meantime. The track was never finished and Johns added Ricky Peterson on Hammond and Ethan Johns on drums and guitar. Another unreleased song is a new orchestral version of Songbird from Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours album, which has become one of McVie’s signature tracks. The new version pairs McVie’s iconic vocals from the original recording with a gorgeous new string arrangement by six-time Grammy Award winning composer and arranger Vince Mendoza.
