I have been listening to loads of earlier Fleetwood Mac but I don't know this one - must download!

I quite like Gypsy off this album, but Hold Me is just indicative of what the rest of the album was - a poor man's Rumours cash-in. It was all downhill after the mighty Tusk.

Ha ha another single oversold by me! But it really is keen: simultaneous Lindsey and Christine vocals, near-grunted backgrounds, playful stereo mix, weird whippy wooshy sounds, plinky piano and guitar, FANTASTIC cod-surrealist video including a no-doubt-authetic Magritte, etc.
