I can tell you already.... SOO much better... lol! It needs those heavenly overdubs. I can't imagine how dry Ghosts would sound, for example, without them!

Drownded baby!

Were you able to get this downloaded? Have you ever heard the remix that was only on vinyl? I THINK it was called a remix - or maybe it was just called the 12'' version...or was it also the regular 45rpm single version as well?! Someone here will have to clarify.

It's a different vocal than the album version and is longer - I have "Rock A Little" the same way. It's much better in my opinion - even better than the cool alternate you were looking for an active link to. I got them on the same CD that I got a perfect "Mirror Mirror" on and it's a direct digital transfer from the vinyl. Awesome quality - I'd be happy to post it here lossless.

Can someone tell me what the official title was - anyone have a scan of the label or picture sleeve? Is it "remix", "12'' version", "extended version".......

I wish I could clarify.... but I'm not really sure about the different versions. I thought the one I had an mp3 of was the official extended version. But that was the same as the one Mike posted in lossless form...

I would LOVE to hear your direct transfer of "Rock A Little" extended version and "Mirror Mirror"... I've been searching for lossless copies of both of those for a long time! Thanks for the offer!

It was labeled on the vinyl as "Vocal/Special Remix"

Yeah, I read that earlier in this thread and someone told you I had posted it in it's own thread lossless, so I assumed you had downloaded it! So go download it NOW!!! It's awesome quality - you'd never know it came from a cassette single. I'll upload the "Rock A Little" and "Nightmare" later today. Anyone know the official name of the "Rock A Little" vinyl version?

KarmaContestant, was the "Vocal/Special Remix" on ALL singles of "The Nightmare" or was it a bonus added track on a 12'' only? What is up with all these alternate ROCK A LITTLE songs?! I was gonna start a thread asking about them. "Talk To Me" also has an alternate released version.

mikebise · #**336** 04-18-2010, 09:20 AM

"The Nightmare" remix is only on the 12", not the 7". That's the album version.

"Rock A Little" was simply there on Side 2 on the UK 12" of "I Can't Wait" when it was released, no special labeling to denote it as anything different. I remember FREAKING OUT in January 1986 when I was leaving for class and listening to that "Rock A Little" for the first time and realizing it was totally different! AND that it was the PRINTED LYRICS from Rock A Little!!!! (Yes, I notice those things and obsess about them!

)

Here's "She Still Loves Him". Remember, I said that there is some hiss, but Stevie's vocals are just amazingly clear ~ I've never heard a better version! All other vocals are warbly or cause feedback. I would love to hear even better versions, but this is the best I've found.

It was amongst Maureen's Mystery Box,

Lindsay, did you ever get this outtake of "The Nightmare" to work for you?

Here are the extended, alternate versions of "The Nightmare" and "Rock A Little" - digitally transferred from vinyl and here for everyone lossless.

Now does anyone know WHY so many songs on ROCK A LITTLE were released in alternate takes on singles than the album versions? Does anyone need the alternate "Talk To Me" - I have that one too?

Yes, David! Wow!!!! What other Stevie songs are on this The Other Mirage that this "That's Alright" comes from? It's amazing and so completely different!

Lisa, is this one of Maureen's CDs, too? I never had this!!! Too cool!!!

Dark Angel · #**342** 04-18-2010, 06:30 PM

I checked through an old list of Maureen's stuff, and this isn't listed. I think this came out after she quit selling. Here's the track list I have for it.

The Other Mirage - Gypsy/If You Were My Love/Smile At You/Straight Back/
That's Alright/I've Been Loving You Too Long/EOTW/ Gypsy (early take)/
Gypsy (slow version)/Gypsy (short version)/
Gypsy (long version)/Straight Back (early take)/Straight Back (long version)/
That's Alright/That's Alright (long version)

I may need to dig this one out this week.

Thank you very much for uploading these!! The RAL track is definitely a sonic upgrade, and the Nightmare sounds great (I had NOT heard this version and it ROCKS!) I did do a check of the spectrum and there does appear to be a drop off at just under 20 kHz, which would normally indicate a possible lossy source (but still good HQ).... but maybe this is a result of the method used to transfer the sound from the vinyl LP.. not sure about that, but thought I should pass on what I found.

It still sounds awesome though, and I REALLY appreciate the upload!!!
