Mirror, Mirror download?

twinmatrix · #1 01-19-2017, 03:10 PM

I see that Wikipedia has an actual tracklist for Mirror, Mirror. Is there a download available somewhere that puts all these demos etc. in order?

Would be so cool to hear demos so stripped down she's playing the instrument by herself.

I think it's a little misleading to have a track listing for an album that was never released. It's more a fan fantasy, which is totally fine, but not really worthy of a Wikipedia listing. My two cents.

Oh, fair enough. I thought maybe that was some kind of official order before they cut/select songs. So there's no fan download available anywhere that has all these tracks together?

Omg I'd looooove you soooo much for that!! Would you prefer to contact through PM/e-mail? If you don't want to make the download public you can just share it with my Dropbox or Google Drive (or whatever you prefer). ^^

Yes, the old Ivory keys blog in an article about the Rock a Little sessions explained that the misunderstanding arose from a comment Stevie made in a later interview:

It is important to note that there is no unreleased or “scrapped” Mirror, Mirror album. That is an apocryphal story that arose from one single statement that Stevie made in 1989 when describing where the title of her fourth album, The Other Side Of The Mirror, came from:

“The Other Side Of The Mirror came from… well, first it was going to be Mirror, Mirror; that was going to be the name of Rock A Little. And then, because the song ‘Mirror, Mirror’ didn’t end up going on the record because I didn’t like the way it came out, I changed it to Rock A Little because ‘Rock A Little’ became the lead song. So, this record [TOSOTM] sort of was a little bit of an extension of Mirror, Mirror. ‘Mirror, Mirror’ is the other side of the mirror, and the Gemini personality. The two, you know, the nine or ten personalities that I have, and how I deal with all of them.”

So, even if Stevie briefly considered naming her third record Mirror, Mirror, she did not "scrap" an entire album of songs and start all over as Rock A Little. Stevie mentioned Rock A Little as the title of her third album back in 1982 before The Wild Heart was even completed. All throughout 1984 and 1985, all media sources reporting on the work on Stevie's album referred to it as Rock A Little only, never Mirror, Mirror.
This "scrapped" and "unreleased" Mirror, Mirror album is a fan-made falsehood. Wikipedia is wrong.

Wikipedia also lists Marilyn Manson on backing vocals?
