Little Lies
Fleetwood Mac
1987
Annual listening-list association, not an original-release-date field. Original release year reconciled with reviewed recording-specific Artist Essentials evidence in v3.6.
Release: 1987
Release: 1987Source checked
V3.6 reconciles the original release year with the reviewed Artist Essentials entry for this exact retained recording ID. Year precision is used; an album-first release is not silently replaced by a later single, reissue or annual-list year. The original studio album and its track membership were reviewed. Year precision avoids replacing an earlier same-year single with a later album day; remasters and outtakes have separate dates.
The large badge identifies this listening list, not a newly issued recording. Later reissues and renewed chart popularity do not replace an original release date. How years are assigned.
Tango in the Night - Rhino original album and mix review
Original 1987 release and 12-track sequence, with later remixes and previously unreleased alternate Isn't It Midnight clearly separated.
About Fleetwood Mac
Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.
Fleetwood Mac's history crosses distinct musical eras, from British blues in the 1960s to the California-associated pop and rock of the 1970s. Changes in singers, guitarists and songwriters altered the band's repertoire over time. Peter Green's early work and the later recordings associated with Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie therefore sit within a changing group history. Rumours is a central album in the later period, while members' solo recordings remain separate from Fleetwood Mac's catalog.
