The Dealer (song)

It was the first single from her solo album, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault.

[1] The song was written in 1979 for Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" album but it was left unreleased.

[3] For the recording sessions, John McVie's bass guitar was sent directly to the mixing console, Mick Fleetwood was on drums, Buckingham played an electric guitar through a Mesa/Boogie, Christine McVie used her Yamaha electric piano, and Nicks was situated in an isolation booth with an additional keyboard to help with chord changes.

Rojas commented that the chord progression was more advanced than what Nicks was used to writing and that her lack of conventional music training prevented her from providing the band proper guidance on how to approach the song.

The song was attempted again for Nicks's Bella Donna album in 1981, although these efforts were also unsuccessful.
