This will be cool. Maybe Tango will get the same treatment.

Hopefully this time with Joan of Arc.

I suspect that these are just the alternate takes from the deluxe Mirage CD, just on vinyl, so I doubt if Tango does something similar it would be any different, but we can hope.

I think that because the other Vynyl is an EP of Stevie rarities. If there is enough material to do one for FM Joan of Arc could very possibly fit.

Hasn't Stevie recently said that she's going to hang on to Joan because she wants to re record it ?

Yes, she said that she "still wants to record it" but nothing more specific.

That's my thought, too. I would love it to be something more, however.

Yep, just like the one they did for TUSK!

Bought this and the Stevie 10" EP this morning. Both are disappointing - the cover images are not up to par and the vinyl seems flimsy to me. The Mirage Alternate cover is just a swap of the original front/back images, but in lesser quality. A bit of a rip-off I'm afraid.

Exactly the reason why I'm not going to buy it. I was a collector in the past, but I do not own a record player, a functional CD-player or a decent amp at the moment. I stream everything thru my wireless Sonos-system. So I figured why buying an item on vinyl, which I won't use and my kids don't have any clue what to do with it in 50 years :-)
