A limited edition 12-inch picture disc was released in the UK, as well as a double 7-inch pack that included the "Big Love" single, and an exclusive 7-inch featuring "The Chain" as an A-side.

However, Fleetwood Mac was also creating a new album at the time, so Buckingham abandoned his solo project and transferred "Big Love" to Tango in the Night.

"[9] "Big Love" was nearly complete by the time Fleetwood Mac began work on Tango in the Night, so the band largely left Buckingham's demo untouched for the final release.

[11] After Buckingham left Fleetwood Mac in 1987 (shortly after Tango in the Night was released), the band did not perform "Big Love" live until his return in 1997.

[12] When Buckingham played "Big Love" live, he used a gutted Gibson Chet Atkins SST with a capo on the fourth fret and a synth pickup.

[16] During Fleetwood Mac's performance on 27 May 2015 at The O2 Arena, Leonie Cooper of NME reported that drops of blood were present on Buckingham's guitar due to the intensity of his playing.
