Oh my goodness, "Hold Me (Early Version)" is such a lush, perfect little gem. More Stevie! Truly can't wait for the full album to be released.

Just listened to Hold Me (Early Version). Not sure if this version ever circulated amongst fans, but it was new to me. A lighter version for sure and anytime they let Stevie loose in the background is alright with me!!

Oh i love it !!!!! Extra excited for more !

[BlueLight]

I just noticed that iTunes is listing the runtimes for Gypsy (early version) (5:33) and Oh Diane (early version) (2:54), which would suggest that these also will be released early as singles.

Wow, they should have had Stevie and Christine sing together more often.

[jbrownsjr]

I've never heard this version. Bootleg or otherwise.

How funny! July 29th is my 39th wedding anniversary.

No real signs.

I hope so and soon.
Is it possible the band or some producer decided what songs were going to be included on the Mirage tour release and they only recorded those songs? Its unlikely but entirely possible.

It's not a demo. It's an early version. Consider it a painting that is repainted over or added onto until you are satisfied. Demos are usually very spare and are done before you enter the studio. Kind of a reference guide.

Not to change the subject TOO much, but I think this bodes well for TANGO.....!!! (YES!!! "Ricky" on CD.....FINALLY!!!).

While a super deluxe version of "Tango" would be nice, I'm hoping that the next thing they do is go back and do a super deluxe version of the 1975 White Fleetwood Mac album. I'm really surprised this hasn't been done already.

I'd love to hear some of the demos and outtakes from those sessions ("Sorcerer", "Blue Letter", etc) and maybe even a live disc of that tour. It would be nice to hear a crystal clear version of "Why" with that beautiful three part harmony, or "Frozen Love" or some of the other songs that were only performed on this tour.

But I'm also getting off topic as well.

I think it'd be nice to get a "Super Deluxe" release of Mystery To Me. Its a sorely under valued album.
