Deluxe Rock A Little Wishlist
Hey all! With the recent announcement of the remastering and rerelease of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart, I am hoping that Rock A Little will hopefully be remastered and rereleased as a deluxe edition soon! What do you guys wish to see on it?
My dream would be this DISC ONE - Remastered Original Album DISC TWO - Outtakes/Demos 1) Rock A Little (Extended Alternate Take) 2) Chanel, Chanel (Take 3) 3) All Over You [I'm not sure if this would be possible however] 4) Mirror, Mirror 5) Rose Garden (outtake) 6) Thousand Days (Sax Outtake) 7) Something Exquisite (Take 1) 8) Jimmy, Come on Back 9) Night Gallery 10) The Nightmare (I Can't Wait 12-inch Remix) 11) Battle of the Dragon 12) She Loves Him Still (outtake) DISC THREE - Full Red Rocks Show ~ What do you wish to see on a potential deluxe edition of Rock A Little? Please keep in mind no rerelease has been announced, and this track list is purely my hopes and dreams.

Great idea. I would love for all of Stevie's albums to get a remastered treatment.
I consider "Rock A Little" to be her weakest record. As a 15 year old teenager in the 80's I was hooked on the album, listening to it for a solid year---thus, I know it back and forth. However, "Rock A Little" just hasn't stood the test of time and sounds complete dated. I tried to listen to "RAL" on Spotify the other day for the first time in over 20 years. I couldn't get through it. It's just to 80's synthesizered and overproduced for my taste. In contrast, "Bella Donna" and "Wild Heart" have held up and still sound completely fresh to me. |

I would love for a surprise disc to be the whole Mirror, Mirror album she originally intended.

1. "Rock A Little" (Extended 12" version)
2. "The Nightmare (Extended 12" Remix) 3. "I Can't Wait" (Slow synth intro Remix) 4. "Talk To Me" (Alternate Time/Life version) 5. "Battle Of The Dragon" 6. "Mirror, Mirror" 7. "Something Exquisite" 8. "Night Gallery" 9. "Rock A Bye Baby" 10. "Running Through The Garden" 11. "Lady From The Mountain" 12. "Greta" So many to choose from!!!! This album could warrant TWO discs of outtakes! |

I don't think we will see a deluxe Rock A Little.

I am more curious to see what would be included in STREET ANGEL if/when it gets updated

I have a bad feeling you might be right, however, after the 2003 remasters of the white FM album, Rumours and Tusk, and then the subsequent deluxe versions of Rumours and Tusk, I decided I had to face facts that we'd never ever see a remastered Mirage or Tango. Well, we've got Mirage now (and I'm betting a deluxe or at least remastered Tango will be coming down the pipe at some point, and maybe a deluxe white album), so a deluxe Rock a Little is certainly possible. I suppose it depends on how well the deluxe editions of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart sell.
I'm less certain about a deluxe OSOTM, but that'd be okay with me, personally. But Rock a Little is a must-have.

I lost my demos so I don't remember anymore my picks in detail but roughly I'd like it to be structured like this:
Disc 1: remastered album Disc 2: alternates and/or extended versions Disc 3: scrapped outtakes and demos Disc 4: Unreleased RAL soundboard material or complete unedited Red Rock DVD, remastered obviously. I'd like to hear the yet unheard version of The Dealer recorded for RAL, Stevie's version of Baby Don't Lose Your Heart, All Over You with Prince, Freestyle with Les Dudek and who knows what more could there be. |

I never thought we'd see a deluxe edition of ANYTHING from her solo catalog. So, you never know! I think it will depend on sales/interest of these first two releases. Quote:

...and I would ADORE a deluxe version of TOSOTM, by the way. But like "Street Angel", I'm less certain about that one, too. |

Your optimism is always so refreshing.
I *do* believe we will see a reissue of Rock A Little. Stevie has talked before about going through the vaults for Enchanted, and how she found lots of 'wild and crazy' stuff from the RAL days. Also, the act of working on BD and WH surely has her thinking about RAL and TOSOTM. Stevie is enormously popular with industry insiders. The fact that she has a dedicated fan base helps, too - her label will know ahead of time almost exactly how many units will move based on BD and WH sales. Fans who buy reissues tend to be completists who aren't going to pass up one album in a series. That said - Alternates: Rock A Little - UK 12" extended / alternate mix The Nightmare - 12" Mix I Can't Wait - 7" single edit(s) Talk To Me - Time/Life alternate mix Non L/P Tracks: One More Big Time R&R Star (unlikely since it is on Enchanted) Mirror Mirror Battle of the Dragon (unlikely since it is on Enchanted) Reconsider Me (unlikely since it is on Enchanted) Demos / Outtake Versions: Running Through The Garden Thousand Days (sax outtake) Love Is Like A River Are You Mine Greta She Loves Him Still Chanel Chanel Jimmy Come Back Something Exquisite Tied Up In Promises (unlikely since it's a cover) Ooh, Ooh, Baby You Like Me No Spoken Word - That synthier version that sarts with 'Be aware...' Joan of Arc Thing is - there are probably songs she could choose which we've never heard of, and songs we've heard of that we didn't know were tried out for RAL. So while I'd love to get the stuff on my list on a deluxe package, it's possible that Stevie could surprise us all.
