Rock A Little Deluxe Wishlist

[sadmabelnormand]

Hello all! I haven't been on here in a hot minute, and today I was listening to my LP of Rock A Little. Hopefully soon Rhino will announce a deluxe edition of this album. What would you all want on it? This is my wishlist.

DISC 1: Remastered Original Album

DISC 2: Outtakes and Rarities
1) Mirror, Mirror
2) Rock A Little [Extended I Can't Wait Single Edit]
3) Battle of the Dragon
4) Night Gallery
5) Rose Garden [Demo]
6) No Spoken Word [Early Version*]
7) One More Big Time Rock N' Roll Star
8) Whole Lotta Trouble [Demo]
9) Imperial Hotel [Outtake*]
10) Jimmy Come On Back*
11) Talk To Me [TIME/LIFE Edition]
12) She Loves Him Still
13) Sister Honey [Early Version*]
14) Reconsider Me
15) The Dealer [Outtake*]
16) Ooh Ooh Baby

* denotes any available master reel outtake

DISC 3: Full Unreleased Red Rocks Concert

I would also adore a DVD of the Red Rocks Concert, however, this seems unlikely, as the Bella Donna Show just had an audio copy. What do you all think?

Nice but you forgot the ONLY RAL era song that I love - Running through the Garden.
Any deluxe re-release should include this unreleased gem.
I despise the Red Rocks lip sync video concert. I would love a live CD of any other show.

Like u, I am constantly baffled when fans rave about the Red Rocks video.

I would love an audio version of the complete Red Rocks show, but more than likely, any RAL deluxe edition would only include an audio of the actual DVD version. Disappointing, as it would be awesome to hear I Can't Wait live.

I love it when the Ho Ho's mocked the Red Rocks video. Such talent. They had the good Stevie and the bad Stevie. If anyone has not seen it...check it out here.

I'd like a Deluxe RAL to be structured more or less like this:

Disc 1: Remastered original album
Disc 2: RAL Alternate album (alternate and/or extended versions of the songs)
Disc 3: Unreleased outtakes and demos
Disc 4: Unreleased RAL soundboard material or complete unedited and remastered Red Rocks DVD.

I'd like to hear:
- The collaboration with Prince
- Freestyle with Les Dudek
- Stevie's version of Baby Don't Lose Your Heart
- Battle of the dragon
- Priest of nothing
- Mirror mirror
- Night gallery
- Whole lotta trouble.

I love the Ho Hos. You need to check out their Stand Back/Little Red Corvette medley. They are so talented and creative. No detail is overlooked in any of their performances.
I love how they have the focused Stevie and then wild and crazy Stevie both at the same time.

Oh. My. God. THAT was one of the Top 5 most hysterical moments in my 40 years as a Stevie Nicks fan. Can I hang out with The Ho-Ho's? I now kiss the ground they walk on.

It is brilliant. It must have been so much fun to make this.

There is so much detail! I was concentrating so much on the 2 Stevies, and had to watch it twice before I was really aware of the erotic male dancer at 7mins and his high kick at 8.28! He's fantastic, great at throwing his hair around, and I love the Waddy lookalike.

I watched their Wildheart photo shoot last night. I'll have a look at the medley too.

I think it was a monumental feat - for the producer/editor - to create that DVD. The amount of editing that was done for both the audio and video is staggering. All the video editing is apparent, but what most people don't know is that the audio switches between the dubbed vocals and the actual live performance.

Darn. I saw this thread and got my hopes up that something official had been announced.

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway...I'm also a cheerleader for the inclusion of "Something Exquisite", even if it's only a pristine sounding quality of one of the two outtakes already in circulation. The song is complete - we just don't have a good quality version.

Also, yes yes yes to the inclusion of "Running Thru The Garden"!!!

"Night Gallery" is a bit of a mess in demo form, yet still one of my absolute favorites, lyrically and melodically - its simplicity is part of its strength. If she ever attempted to record it with a band during the "Rock A Little" sessions, I'd love to hear the outtakes. If not, I hope she attempts to record it on her next album. If she can turn "Mabel Normand" into something cohesive, catchy and fun, imagine what she could do with "Night Gallery"!
