Seriously? Because I had Bella Donna on 8-track, but I don't ever remember Mirage being available. I was thinking that 81-ish was the end of 8-track?

Because Bella Donna was literally the LAST 8-track I ever bought.

I got mine through Columbia House, one of those 10 for a penny deals. I'm not sure if it was available in brick and mortar stores. I think the vinyl for Timespace was only available through Columbia House too. They seemed to have some exclusive releases.

There's one on eBay if you're interested.



This one looks like mine. Most of the Columbia House releases had generic sleeves.

That's funny, because I hadn't thought of that. Because I joined the "other" 10 for a penny place, RCA(later it became BMG?) in 1982, and ordered all cassettes(can't remember now if 8-tracks were even an option). But I NOW remember that that's when I made the jump from 8-track to cassette, was 1982.

Let's say I was 2yo in 1982. Yeah, that's it. I was 2.

Looking forward to this boxset!

And if we are really lucky, maybe they will include 10 demo versions of the same Lindsey song and not bother with all those other Stevie and Christine demos. lol

Let's hope not!! If I wanted a Lindsey solo album, I'd go buy one!

The highlight of the Tusk boxset was without question Yesterday's Tears... Would love some exciting truly new material like that.

For the most part I could take or leave alternate takes and demos, unless they are radically different from what appeared on the album.

Yep!!! 10 demos of Empire State" or "Oh Diane" maybe both just like all the same LB demos from the Tusk set...

[KenB]

I wonder if the reason for the multiple versions of Lindey's tracks on the deluxe Sets is that maybe Lindsey is more into giving permission to include that stuff than Chrustine or Stevie are? For Stevie, especially, I could see her not wanting to distribute her "practice" versions any more than they already are out there. A part of trying to control her image.

Hello, lilyfee!

Haha! I would hang myself if they had 10 versions of Oh Diane...

I have my original cassette tape of Mirage, which features a mix of Straight Back that is notably different from the album track, with the vocal phrase "hours and hours of waiting for you - so strong and so fleeting" being much more prominent.

I've got it, too. I always wondered why they remixed it for later versions.
