They released four singles to radio, some of which featured special mixes to help make them even more radio-friendly... they filmed four promo videos... Lindsey appeared on Lettermen (twice), Leno (twice), Live with Regis & Kathy Lee, ABC In Concert, PBS, and VH1... there were multiple print ads that ran in magazines like Rolling Stone... Lindsey toured (even opened for Tina Turner for a while!)... and so on. That is a pretty big promotional blitz for an album that peaked at #128 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart.

I have to say that I was actually going to post earlier in this thread about how much I appreciated the fact that you hadn't jumped in to slam the song... given how much I know you dislike it. But I refrained, because I didn't want it to sound like a veiled slap in the face to anyone who did post something negative about it. But yes, you definitely deserve a medal!!!

I don't believe the number of singles released has much bearing, either, because if it isn't the kind of music that is going to do well on radio, not one of them is going to get airplay. What I meant was that the promotion being given out by Lindsey and his label wasn't getting picked up by the national media or the public. Unfortunate, IMO, because it's a masterpiece.

I took your comments to mean that the record company/Powers That Be didn't do enough to promote the album. And in my opinion, releasing four singles (the hope is always that they WILL get played), etc., is a pretty decent show of faith for an album that never sold big numbers.

Re: All over again.
For Gaius....
Forgive me for not replying in a more involved manner, but you made so many points, that I'd be here forever trying to fashion all of my responses into a concise post. I just wanted to say that i do agree with you, that Lindsey and Stevie seem to bring out the best in each other. She always seems more inspired and daring with him... and he always seems to be at his best when producing one of her songs. But, having said that, I don't think Stevie's other producers were necessarily taking the easy way out, or following in Lindsey's footsteps. I think that the way in which Stevie writes, somewhat dictates the progression the songs will take on their way to being a finished product. "Sisters Of The Moon" is a good example: Lindsey approached the song in a dark, moody fashion, and his electric guitar touches throughout are perfect. But... in the piano demo of the song, Stevie is clearly playing the basis of those guitar parts. Albeit, in a slower fashion, and with less finesse. Certainly there have been other songs where Lindsey's approach was not as obvious, based on the sound of the demo... "Gypsy" being a good example of that... but for the most part (and this is entirely my opinion) what the songs will end up becoming, is well laid-out in Stevie's original demos. It's the other elements that Lindsey adds... the left-of-center instrumental touches, for example... that help the songs to stand out that much more.

For me, I think SOTM is one of the songs , probably with SN's approval for all we know, somewhat ruined for me. the Tusk version is just too produced (albeit brilliantly) for me. In any event, I still like the Tusk version. The same could be said about John Shanks and POTU. I like the TISL version, but the piano demo is just heartwrenching. |

Personally, I think all Stevie is saying is she wanted LB to sing in a certain manner that he normally does not sing in. So, she got him to sing in her preferred manner by tricking him by singing it with him (thus getting him into the preferred voice) and then taking her voice off of or out of it. Oh to have been a fly on the wall!!!! |

That she may have romanticized her actions by using the phrases "snuck in" and "took her voice off," rather than giving a detailed technical explanation of the mixing process, was not in question.
You stated outright that it was all a big lie, and that Lindsey just went out and recorded the vocal by himself. I merely tried to offer reasons and evidence (the alternate take that exists with both vocalists, for example), as to how her story could very well be true... even if she had simplified it when she spoke about it with Creem Magazine. Meanwhile, I haven't seen you offer any evidence or proof to contradict Stevie's story, or to prove why you're certain she must be lying. Beyond the statement that she was just coked out of her mind, that is... which most fans know that, by all accounts, she was clean by the time she went in to record 'Tango.' Quote:
And if you want to deny that your post was condescending and dismissive, that's fine. I wouldn't expect an apology from you. But I'm not the only one who noted your tone, so I trust that I wasn't over-reacting. I stated my case, and I think I did so in an articulate and clear fashion, without ever getting emotional or responding to anyone in a patronizing way. So I think I'll just go right on posting as often as my little heart desires.

I never said "big lie." You don't seem to know the difference between "big lie" and "tall tale," but that's your problem. Quote:
