I wonder if my Mother was to receive the next Rhino catalog??? She had an acct. with Rhino, Which doesnt surprise me..."Like Mother, like son" in the catergory of music collections :nod:

I will have to check and see if I can find out any details on the The Best of Stevie Nicks release, Most artists release a couple of new tracks/rare gems on greatest hits compilations...So hopefully the same may happen with Stevie (We can only hope!)

[Kelly]

Ok, now when and where is the lead off single? Will we definately or maybe I should say, usually, get one for a Greatest Hits album??

Another question. This is being distributed by Rhino, so will it count as one of the two albums she owes Reprise? I think so, right??

I wonder how much Stevie has been involved with this..she did not mention it at ALL at the Hall of Fame or on Jim Ladd. She pushed Vegas but not this. Odd.
(I am thinking back to Timespace where she hated the idea of a Greatest Hits album...could the label be making her do this or no?) I realize she may WANT to do this but I am curious why she didn't try to promote it on Jim Ladd. Albums that are coming out in late May are already being pushed and promoted on MTV and in Billboard and VH1 etc etc.

Anyhoo, I am excited at the possibility of one or two new songs. That is always exciting news.

I gotta say, for someone who has had less than a half dozen solo hits in her career, Stevie certainly comes out with a lot of "greatest hits" CD's... :rolleyes:
I mean, seriously, in the 14 years since TimeSpace, she has had only 2 new releases.. i don't see a reason for this at all.. :distress:

Well, i guess we can hope for at least one new track with this, her 3rd "greatest hits" package... :sigh:

[GypsySorcerer]

I can do without the Greatest Hits package. :rolleyes: I'd rather not pay $18.98 for the same rehashing of songs, plus one or two new songs. I want an album of new material.

But I am excited about Storytellers on DVD.

[GateandGarden]

Unseen footage - be still my heart. :p You said it! :nod: :laugh:

[ELIUD]

I agree there's no real call for a Greatest Hits, she's already done that and a Boxed Set to boot.

I don't get why she doesn't release a live album. There's gotta be enough material recorded throughtout the years that she could pull a gem or two from each tour and make one spectacular live album. She could even throw in At Last to mix it up a bit.

[cliffdweller]

How big is your record collection anyway? I've been wondering about this...I envision a wall of music :laugh: Am I right? We have a million gazillion c.d.'s and then there's the vinyl...so, I'm right there with ya on big music collections.

Yeah, she's totally, totally, completely, missing the boat on that one. :( :distress: Now that's an album that would kick much, much, ass.

[diamondsnake]

I think she needs a Greatest Hits album that would also include her singles from Fleetwood Mac. That way, she could include Landslide, Rhiannon, etc. with Edge of Seventeen, Stanback, and so forth. I think that would be an interesting mix.

I hope My Heart is the lead single off the album. That song is greatness!

her FM songs would never ever make it onto her own "greatest hits" CD.. but anyway, this is getting so repetitive with her... at least maybe they could be remixes or something... how many different official releases from Stevie do we need "Edge Of Seventeen", "Stand Back", "Leather And Lace", "Talk To Me", etc on?? This will be her 4th CD with the same EXACT songs as was on BD, TWH, RAL, Timespace, and Enchanted... it's just such a bad idea and It's just a money-making ploy... I can't see why she wouldn't just do re-issues?? That would much more sense, considering all of her "greatest hits" came from BD, TWH, and RAL anyway... why oh why does she handle her career so poorly at times? :(

it's larger than most, I quit counting a long time ago (I've been collecting music since I was 14, Started way back in 1984)

My vinyl collection is now large...But my cassette & cd collection just grew a lot more huge with the addition of my Mother's collection (I keep her cd collection in the front room since it was stored in cd storage cases and the vinyl/cassettes are stored in the other bedroom until I can figure out where to store 'em).

As for a wall, Well I will be starting on wall #2 now, I have started to run out of room on the West wall in our bedroom (Gotta remember I just bought over 120 cassettes from eBay before my Mother passed away, Havent listened to everyone of 'em yet.)

Oh, And my Mother had a movie collection that is second to none...She had 3 storage cases filled with VHS/DVD's, And those are locked in our spare bedroom, I will guess she had about 400-500 movies.

Well back to the topic at hand, "Stevie's contract fulfillment 'Best Of' disc"...

[GateandGarden]

That would much more sense, considering all of her "greatest hits" came from BD, TWH, and RAL anyway... why oh why does she handle her career so poorly at times? :(Reissues would be better than this, as you said, or if she chose to put together a collection of forgotten and underappreciated songs, like, uh, my screenname! :D She could remaster those, and officially release some of the good demos like "The Dealer" and "Julia." That would be cool. Guess it wouldn't sell as much, though, huh? Like you said..."money-making ploy."

[Kelly]

It is sad that Stevie gets blamed for making poor choices when maybe she had nothing to do with this choice?!?
Her label could be forcing this for all we know and she could be minimally involved. Remember the boxed set? Stevie was excited about it, even talked about it back stage at the Grammys when she was there with the MAC, a full five or six months before it came out. She sat with Ladd for two hours and uttered not one word about this thing. Perhaps Reprise is throwing it out because she hasn't gotten that far if anywhere, on her next studio album? I don't know, I just have this feeling that STevie is not too into this as she hasn't mentioned it the two times she has talked recently.
Reconsider me came out at least a month before the boxed set. Lets hope for a single.
Oh and I agree, she doesnt really need one of these and she probably knows it.

Maybe you're right.. but it IS her career, so i'm sure she has some kind of say in this.. she could have had the re-issues come out instead of this and would make a whole lot more money for herself and Reprise.. not to mention how happy the fans would have been..

[whitesoxx]

Well I certainly do not mind another Greatest Hits album being released, because the tracks on it will be remastered and will sound better than ever. Besides, look what happened with FM: first a Best Of-release and then the 3 remasters. So let's hope this will happen with Stevie too (she did say that remasters would be released this year...).

[Kelly]

Yes it is her career but I do not know for sure she has a say about this. I say that because of what happened with Prince and U2. Was it U2? Some very big band that was having some type of problem with their label and a GH was put out without their involvement at all. They refused to promote the thing at all. I doubt that is what is up with Stevie but it is possible. She owes them two albums, they might have fronted her money on the contract and this is business. Its been four years since she did TISL, FM does not count towards this, she probably isnt too far along on her next studio album if she has been in Hawaii all winter and is touring this summer. Perhaps they said, hey we want some of our money back...put out a GH? The reissues are separate and will make them money but the three album deal she signed with them requires them giving her money when she commits to them. So in effect, she could OWE them money or an album. All this is speculation and based on what Stevie has said in the past. She said she hates the idea of a GH album back in the early ninties. She was excited and pushing the boxed set months before it came out. She did press for it. This new cd is due out in about two months. She had an opportunity with Ladd and the Hall of fame to push this idea on her fans. "Oh, this is fab..remixed songs"...she said nothing. She obviously had free reign with Jim to talk about whatever she wanted..not just Vegas and yet, she did not mention it. That made me think we werent even getting one honestly.

Go type in "Blondie" on Amazon and see how many greatest hits packages EMI has released to make a quick buck off of them. There can't be any less then 20 out there and they're now in the process of releasing a b-sides collection...after they released all the b-sides in a boxed set last year. :rolleyes: I suspect that Stevie's label is doing to her what EMI has been doing to Blondie for years and years: releasing something to make some quick cash without consulting with the artist.

[strandinthewind]

Sadly, I think she could be pro active in this and release a bunch of stuff that would make this more appealing to people who are on the fence about buying it. For example, she went to great pains with her boxed set and actually recorded Rhiannon by herself, which was a risky thing to do as it showed she is a passionate singer and songwriter but not a pianist. She did that for the fans IMO. So, maybe she will take an interest in this one and we will get a treat.

You do have a point, Kelly... I know for years, Prince was treated like a slave for Warner Bros. (didn't he used to write that on his face as well?)... So, it's very possible that Reprise is making her do this without her really wanting to.. I still think if she knew this was the deal, she could make the most of it and do something special with it.. like throw in some remixes (can someone say digital remixes of "I Can't Wait"?), or some B-sides... SOMETHING!
I just don't think any of us really cares to hear or pay for the same versions of "Edge", "Stand Back", and "Talk To Me" again and again and again.. and she must know this.. :distress:

specifically with Cheap Trick & Guns N Roses, The GNR hits package even led to a lawsuit (Which was dismissed) being filed by the reclusive W.Axl Rose to stop its release since it was not sanctioned by his camp/handlers, It was a cheaply produced version that now seemed a waste to purchase, Especially if one already has their complete catalog on compact disc :nod:

Cheap Trick eventually released a band approved greatest hits package, Which was no different than the record company's offering of nearly the same hits.

[dissention]

And he purposely made shitty music to spite them. You gotta love him. :laugh:

This stinks of record company money grab. I can see why she wouldn't want to waste rarities or unreleased music on a project she clearly isn't involved in. These things are planned WAY in advance, so she has known about this for a time, I am sure. You don't just pull these things together in a month. It takes longer than that to generate and approve art work. And that is usually finished at least a month before release.

Preposterous, political, and pitiful.

[Kelly]

Maybe that is why she is not chosing to give up any unreleased stuff...because she knows this stinks?! She knows her fans have quite a few Edges and Stand Backs..etc etc etc.
Now I am thinking we won't even get a new single out of this deal! :distress:
YUCK

[PenguinHead]

A live album would be a great! Another greatest hits album...why not make it The Best of Stevie Nicks LIVE? I'm still waiting for her Bella Donna concert video to be re-released on DVD --the entire show.

[MacMan]

I personally don't think a Greatest Hits package is all that bad... It's usually used as a tool to bridge the gap between releases... Plus it's been a whole listening generation (14 years) since the last hits package (even though Stevie doesn't refer to it as a hits package). And the box set I don't really count cause that's for the fan base (us), not everyone will spend the cash on something like that. And hits packages can be a part of her agreement with reprise as well... I say bring it on... But throw something interesting on it for the fan base as well.

[yellowjeep]

It was my question on Nicksfix that Stevie answered a while back re: the possibility of remastered reissues (a la Fleetwood Mac's). Stevie responded that, yes, plans for such things were in the works, and added "hopefully this year."

I suspect the record company knows they can get money from a greatest hits package, and then get money again from individual reissues. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if we don't see those reissues until next March or April 2006, with a new album from Stevie in Fall 2006.

[Kelly]

I am sure when Stevie answered the question, she was sincere.

Stevie solo in 2006? No way.

[LiquidBlue5000]

I am sure when Stevie answered the question, she was sincere.

Stevie solo in 2006? No way.

ahhh, but it will be 25 years after Bella Donna.. of course the new CD will be out by then.. it better!! :nod:

[Kelly]

ahhh, but it will be 25 years after Bella Donna.. of course the new CD will be out by then.. it better!! :nod:

Nah, I hear the Mac will be around in the summer of 06. Could be Bull, but it came from Taku and Mick. Plus I think that they will focus on the thirtieth anniversary of Rumours in 07 before she worries about Belladonna. Oh, I bet she puts out the reissued BD to coincide with the 25th. Reprise has undergone alot of changes in the last two years and it remains to be seen how that will affect Stevie. If we get no new single for this Best of, we will know for sure she is not working WITH the label right now, although I guess that could change. WB dumped a whole lot of artists off their roster lately too...NOT that they would want to dump Stevie but nothing is written in blood. She said she was going right off the road to begin her solo album and that did not happen. For all we know, her plans and future goals might have changed. I am greedy and always want new music, but first and foremost I want her to do what she wants!

Exactly! i think Stevie likes to do things within the proper timing.. I think she would want to release her new CD exactly 25 years after Bella Donna to prove that she's "still here".. i'm sure it will happen.. it would be very un-Stevie like to not follow up a FM album with a solo album.. i doubt she'll go back to FM and record another album with them and neglect her solo career.. she just will not do that, imo..

Stevie will do her thing in '06 and perhaps be back with FM by '07... i really am liking the fact that she is always doing something nowadays though... it makes things exciting as a fan... and honestly, i don't think this tour with Don Henley is going to be that long.. i'm guessing a handful of shows, then back into the studio to finish up the solo CD, just in time for a May 2006 release.. at least, if i had some say in her career, that is what i would advise her to do ;)

[MacMan]

And... Who knows, if this Vegas thing goes over well... she may be back in the fall with another week of shows... Maybe that's what the plans are when she said she needed a drummer till the end of the year... If Vegas is a hit, and there are open slots at the venue (which I'm sure there is at times when Celine and Elton are off), then I'm sure she would be back... Be a shame to see all the effort put into designing a stage show for THIS venue and only use it for 4 nights! I'm sure it's no small feat to put something like this together when you have to consider the size of the stage.. the screen in the background etc.

This is a fantastic idea and the timing is excellent. Timespace is, at best, a patchy affair thanks to poor "new" songs and shoddy sequencing.

Something close to chronological with some slight tweaking and the use of those rare HIT versions as heard on the original 7" singles would make for the first definitive Stevie Nicks solo collection.

Edge Of Seventeen (Single Edit)
Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around
Leather And Lace (Single Edit)
After The Glitter Fades
Stand Back (Single Edit)
If Anyone Falls
Nightbird
Talk To Me
I Can’t Wait (Single Mix)
Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You
Rooms On Fire (7” Remix)
Long Way To Go (7” Version)
Whole Lotta Trouble (Remix)
Sometimes It’s A Bitch
Blue Denim (Remix)
Maybe Love (Remix)
Sorcerer (Sheryl Crow Radio Edit)
Planets Of The Universe (Tracy Young Radio Edit)

Don't forget "Every Day" and "If You Ever Did Believe" and perhaps even the original "Twisted".

[Oooh Missionary]

Don't forget "Every Day" and "If You Ever Did Believe" and perhaps even the original "Twisted".

Ack, you're fast. I was mid-edit when you posted once I realised I left off IYEDB which would give this something of a "new" song. :)

[Oooh Missionary]

Which would be EMI's non-stop rape of their back catalog. They've been doing the same to Pat Benatar since 1995.

[Johnny Stew]

Which would be EMI's non-stop rape of their back catalog. They've been doing the same to Pat Benatar since 1995.Unless Blondie sold off their rights, I don't think the record company can sanction the use of their music in a commercial without the band's consent.

[amber]

Unless Blondie sold off their rights, I don't think the record company can sanction the use of their music in a commercial without the band's consent.
I think that's part of the crappy deals Blondie got that Diss is talking about. I don't think they had the rights to those songs.

[SteveMacD]

but anyway, this is getting so repetitive with her...
Actually, it's about the same for Fleetwood Mac. As of late, they have been releasing an album and following it with a best of or live package. Their first Greatest Hits package was in 1971. So, from "Bare Trees" through "Tusk," the Mac had a solid run of studio albums. But then that changed:

Tusk > Fleetwood Mac Live

Actually, it's about the same for Fleetwood Mac. As of late, they have been releasing an album and following it with a best of or live package. Their first Greatest Hits package was in 1971. So, from "Bare Trees" through "Tusk," the Mac had a solid run of studio albums. But then that changed:

Tusk > Fleetwood Mac Live
Mirage, Tango > Greatest Hits
Behind The Mask > The Chain
Time > The Dance, Best Of
SYW > LIB

The thing is however, that Fleetwood Mac HAS the hits to make several "greatest hits" packages... they have a huge catalog of material dating back to the sixties... Stevie has only had two new CD's released since 1991, her last "greatest hits" package... to my knowledge, Street Angel and Trouble In Shangri-La did not spawn enough hits to warrant another greatest hits CD... in fact, neither spawned "1" top 20 hit.. plus we got "enchanted", which basically covered the "the hits" off Street Angel... so, now we need yet ANOTHER greatest hits compilation?? for what, to cover the few quasi-hits from TISL??
There is no need for another "best of" Stevie CD at this point... unless of course Stevie is considering retiring from the music injustry at the end of this year.. unlikely

I gotta say, for someone who has had less than a half dozen solo hits in her career, Stevie certainly comes out with a lot of "greatest hits" CD's... :rolleyes:
I mean, seriously, in the 14 years since TimeSpace, she has had only 2 new releases.. i don't see a reason for this at all.. :distress:



Ditto! (it's like the Eagles GH vol-II, it wasn't worth it since they didn't have enough new material).

It would be worth it if it comes with different versions, bonus tracks, like the last Rumours or Tusk CDs
And a live album would be a great idea, too

I go for the dvd. Since there's no VH1 in Peru, I've never seen that Storytellers. Hope it's worth it.

Oh, no worries there. It's definitely worth it! :nod:

Two factors...1) they HAD "hits" and 2) Frampton Comes Alive set off an industry-wide clamour for "double live albums"...seems as though just about EVERYBODY released at least ONE double live album between 1975-1983...some even two.

What FMac SHOULD'VE done was release THEIR double live album in between Rumours and Tusk; incorporating performances from 1975-1978...then another between Tango In The Night & Behind The Mask (instead of the Greatest Hits 1988 ) re-introducing the new members to those who didn't see the tour. They didn't need a box set...or at least THAT box set, anyway...at that time...they could've waited two or three years, but the industry craze at the time was for artists who'd been around a while to put out a multi-disc box set.

I think that's part of the crappy deals Blondie got that Diss is talking about. I don't think they had the rights to those songs.Not having ownership of your original recordings, I can understand, as unfortunately that happens a lot... but they don't even have authority on the songwriting side of it? That would really suck.

Heck, even Mason had a the double live album, so point taken. I think with the 1988 package they were trying to close the door on the "Rumours" band and get a fresh start with Billy and Rick. I honestly believe they thought they were going to be the same hit machine and would be able to do more albums, without having to coax a moody guitarist. But then Christine's dad passed away, which was the end of that. The big reason for the box, as you know, is that it was done in conjunction with their 25th anniversary. It's all about the big number. That could have been an interesting collection. Oh well.

Rhino Entertainment is expected to release an updated Stevie Nicks retrospective titled The Best of Stevie Nicks on Tuesday, June 7 (bumped from May 24), according to leading music retailers.

On the same day, Rhino has also scheduled to issue VH1 Storytellers: Stevie Nicks (extended cut) on DVD, with previously unseen footage.

Okay, I'm a little late here, but that's my birthday! woohoo! I agree with what's been said about not need another GH, but I can't wait for the Storytellers. Happy birthday to me! :woohoo:

Did you see that "One Way Or Another" is being used to hawk Doritos now?

No, I didn't. I know some stock trading company was using Call Me for their ads, though. In the end, I cut Blondie some slack since they were robbed by their record company and didn't make shit for money. :laugh:

They only started getting any substantial royalties and part ownership after they reunited and took their old company to court in, I believe, 1998. It's pretty much a known fact that when they broke up, the whole lot of them didn't have two nickels to rub together because of bad managers and Chrysalis ripping them off. EMI kept re-eleasing their hits over and over and they didn't make really anything off of them until they sued, but the details of the suit were never made public to my knowledge. Debs gave an interview that I posted on the Chit Chat board awhile back where she said she's still bitter and angry about being screwed over like that and that if she ever goes insane, the people who screwed her over had better watch out. :laugh:

That really sucks. I hope they were able to get something substantial out of that lawsuit.

Ever heard her solo records KooKoo and Def, Dumb, and Blonde? Those albums kick ass. The cover of KooKoo is one of the greatest album covers of all time. :nod:

I have 'Rockbird,' which I love. And some other songs on an old mix tape I have somewhere.

I have a crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy love for the French Kissin' video and I love to sing the title track at the top of lungs. Especially the "creature feature" line. :laugh: There are remixes of In Love With Love that blow the album version out of the water, though, I should send you one.

Love the Warhol cover, too. That's another one of the best ones ever, imo.
