However there shouldn't really be such tracklist at all because a Mirror Mirror album doesn't really exists, it's a urban legend originated by some elusive comments made by Stevie in some mid 80s interviews in which she alluded to the fact that the Rock a Little album at the beginning was to be called Mirror Mirror because the original tracklist of the album, that at the time still was being produced by Jimmy Iovine, included the song; there was also a tracklist preview in some magazine. But when Jimmy Iovine left and was substituted by Rick Nowels the production completely changed direction and the song ultimately got scrapped, so the album had to change name.
This is very strange because I have several newspaper articles from something like May 1983 where Stevie was already saying her next album was going to be called Rock A Little. This was right before the release of The Wild Heart album when she was doing press for her upcoming benefit for the Heart Association.
