Fleetwood Mac - Sara

Written by Stevie Nicks, this gorgeous ballad came from the album Tusk which was released in 1979 and was the follow up to Rumours. The album has the full 6 minute version on, but the single came with a 4.37 minute edit. The song is supposed to be about the relationships and love affairs in the band, but the finished song cut most of this off. Released in January 1980 the single only managed to reach a disappointingly 37 in the UK charts but did better in America where it got to number 7.

When Tusk was released on CD for the first time, they put the 7'' edit on the album but it wasn't until the Greatest Hits came out in 1988 that the full version was first heard on CD. Rumours are there's a 9 minute version of the song! Here's the single.
