There are many Macsters (members from Fleedwood Mac) present here (Bob Weston, Bob Welch, Lindsey & Christine (who co-produced the album)) but it doesn't say which songs each member is on. The irresistible hit single which opens the album "Don't give it up" is the obvious favorite, with a great hook and instrumentation this is the most instantly likable song on the record and the most enduring favorite. Not as many songs stand out on this release as on "Orders from headquarters" but there's some good collaborations, such is the case on the title track which closes the album, a nice ballad Robbie co wrote with ex- babys/Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain. A very commercial disc which is worth purchasing for "Don't give it up" on it's own if nothing else.
Been looking for this thing forever. Since it's out-of-print, does anyone have the album that they can upload and post a link to? Be more than happy to return the favor.
