Another Link In The Chain (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 6-letter word
Fleetwood Mac's classic song "The Chain" was, according to the band members, cobbled together from different musical ideas that came together in the studio. It's a cool song, but it actually doesn't have anything specific to do with the meta. I was just looking for a suitable image for Crosshare and different versions of the LP cover showed up, which made for an interesting image. Anyhoo, the answer to the meta is a 6-letter word. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=101314#p101301
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$10 gives you access to 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game. You won't quite know what to expect: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, sometimes all of those, and sometimes none! One thing is for sure, these are some of the more creative metas my brain has been able to come up with. And there's more: this time there's a mega-meta!

    Oof, tough final step! I tried a few others first :-) Thanks, Ben!

      You only have to guess two letters. And the title should have helped!

      After many wrong submissions, it occurred to me that anklet was exactly what the title described.

        Got it with a nudge. Was naticked in a couple of places, but luckily my google account was paid in full.

          How is ANKLET the answer? I wish composers on this site would explain their mechanisms as well as just giving the answers.
