An amazing find! Love your blog – really helps fill some gaps. Thanks so much!
I’ve got to second Silver Blue’s great response here: OMG, OMG, OH EMM GEE! lol
I used to have a poorer quality digital copy of the extended version in my old music collection so the pristine upgrade here is very much appreciated! Lindsey made some great solo music. It’s a shame it didn’t more recognition back when it was released.
Thanks, Paul!
I never knew this was even a single. Thanks for sharing and bringing back the memories 🙂
Thank you! I have a lot of Stevie’s remixes but not many of Lindsey’s. That’s some big hair on the cover though! LOL
Thank you for this! Amazing song….
I have a question Paul: to your knowledge, is it the 7″version the same as the album version? I’m asking because I heard some arrangements (specially the drums) different from the album version, so I thought that maybe they remixed it a little bit to release it as single…
Thanks!
ElCid i am not sure I don’t have the album to compare the mixes I am sure this one is different though.
Thank you!
You’re welcome Mr. “B81”
wow that´s great could you post Lindsay with Soul Drifter extended that would be awesome, ,go on with your music, so long DJPault
Thank you Mr.Misterfan. Sorry I don’t have that one I will look for it though.
Wow! I’m so excited that you posted these Lindsey Buckingham 12 inches! I have only had these mixes in sub-par quality until now!
You’re welcome Doug!
Wow, didn’t thought that my request would come THAT fast! Thanks Paul.
For some reason the 12 inch of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Seven Wonders’ did not make it to a (promo) CD release. Great remix, and I almost know for shure it’s in that archive of yours too…. 🙂
Well Stefano I already had this one planned for today so that’s why it cam e so quickly. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Okay, in that case: great decision! Just perfect, as usual.
Thank you Stefano 🙂
Another great post! Thanks, Paul 8)

Thank you MRNOCHE!
HUGE thanks for these LB posts, Paul! I am a big fan of anything that is Fleetwood Mac-related. Great stuff!!
You’re welcome Bob!
OMG. OMG. OH EMM GEE. Thank you so much for this! Takes me back to high school and my girlfriend who always said this song reminded her of me. 🙂
you’re welcome Silver Blue. I love that this brought back some great memories for you. I made me smile 🙂
Wow, that’s an amazing find. I kind of like the album this came off of. For some reason though you can’t find the video for this on youtube.
Yeah I noticed that when I was researching this post the video is not available for some reason.
