best unreleased stevie track?

[melly]

Hey all. Like most of you (I'm assuming) I have downloaded a lot of demos and unreleased Stevie songs from the various sites that have mp3s. I have a lot of favourites, including Annabelle Lee, Chanel Chanel, Lady from the Mountain etc etc... some very cool songs I had never heard of before. It's quiet addictive when u realise there are these old but new songs out there, and some of them so bloody good. So, I'm not sure I have every song and I cruise around these sites now and again like a shark trawling for fresh meat (sorry, have been reading reviews of Open Water) and haven't seen anything new for a while.. yet I feel there is a great song I still haven't heard..

So.. what unreleased or demo of stevies do you love most? Which is the one you treasure most? If I've never heard of it, then I'll know to search it out.

cheers, mel :D

[dissention]

My favorites:


Sisters of the Moon Piano Demo: I usually can't stand her piano pounding, but this one is beautiful.
Space Needle: Why she didn't use it for TISL I'll never know.
Something Exquisite: Yeah, it's rather cheesy, but I love it.
Unmastered Storms: Much better than the album version and that's saying a LOT.
Julia 3-1-81: The best version ever. Fantastic vocal.
Lady From the Mountain: Longtime favorite.
Storms Piano Demo with Lindsey: Her voice kinda sucks, but it's neat to hear the two of them working out a song together at the piano.
Joan Of Arc: Very spooky.

[diamondsnake]

Christian and Space Needle are great ones.

[Serrart]

There are a few here I hadn't heard of... :blob1: now to find them :)

[emfan2377]

Where can I find some of those songs? I don't have anything to trade, but I'd pay a reasonable fee if necessary.

Thanks

ThanksYou can find a lot at
ThrownDown.net (http://www.throwndown.net).

I'm a big fan of the piano demo for "Planets of the Universe," called, "No Light." I'd love to hear that that one could be officially released. I've also heard a really great "Gyspy" demo from '80 that's comparatively long and has some different vocals and lyrics, though the vocals are not as loud as they should be. Anyone else familiar with that? And "Something Exquisite" of course.

[wondergirl9847]

Most of my faves have been mentioned...

The Dealer!!!!!!!! (This should SO have been on Belladonna!)
Space Needle
SOTM (piano demo)
Forest of the Black Roses (Lindsey could do wonders with this, I'm sure!)
Sorcerer (with Lindsey)
No Light
RTTG (demo)
Smile at You (angry and non angry demos)

[Wild_Heart03]

- Sisters Of The Moon demos (especially that really light piano demo.. so awesome!)
- If You Were My Love
- What Has Rock & Roll Ever Done For You

I'm sure there's probably tons more I can't think of right now.

[thepoetinmyhear]

City of Hope and Lady from the Mountain (take 2) are my favorites with the latter probably being my favorite stevie vocal of her entire career.

Blue Water

[TheBlueLamp]

City of Hope is one of my favourite Stevie songs ever. All The Beautiful Worlds is a great song too.

Nick

[Bella Figura]

my favs are always changing but here's a current list

Ooh Ooh Baby - the piano is haunting and I still haven't figured all the words out yet so it keeps me interested

any of the Smile At You Demos - currently it's the Rolling Stone demo and although I was never overly fond of That's Alright the RS demo is very good

Have No Heart - I used to be a big fan of Annabelle Lee, this one is now my current fav of the TISL outtakes and demos

Baby Doll Master - although this was later reworked into Bella Donna, I love this bluesy demo

Belle Fleur - a sentimental favorite. I had always heard of this demo but never got my hands on it until the Internet

[Johnny Stew]

any of the Smile At You Demos - currently it's the Rolling Stone demo and although I was never overly fond of That's Alright the RS demo is very good

What are the Rolling Stone demos??

[ontheEdgeof17]

What are the Rolling Stone demos??


Just bootlegs of the songs that were played during the RS photo shoot. Stevie sang along with the tracks. The quality is piss poor.


-That's Alright
-Smile At You
-If You Were My Love
-Enchanted



-Curt

Can you believe that I don't have the Rolling Stone photo-shoot footage?!? :o

sound quality doesn't really faze me with demos but I hate bad sound quality on live performances...pretty wierd huh?? ;)

honerable mentions can go to the Sorcerer demo, Forest of the Black Roses and Maker of Birds (three birds of rhiannon).

[eclipse]

Call me crazy
but I like
Annabelle Lee (although I think it's FM and not just Stevie)
and I like
Forest of the black Roses too---great song if you are REALLY depressed and need something to remind you of how miserable... you could be....
Does anyone know, is Stevie playing the piano on that song?

(I think it is just Stevie, the piano and despair, recorded on that demo)
I still listen..
~~eclipse~~

[David]

Forest of the black Roses too---great song if you are REALLY depressed and need something to remind you of how miserable... you could be....

Yes that is Stevie on a piano.

[mylittledemon]

I think Reconsider Me is my favorite. I know it was on Enchanted, but it should've been on an album release. It couldve been a single I think. I also liked "Gold & Braid" a lot on Enchanted. She should've done a studio version of that.

[Richard B]

I know this is a old thread...but I was searching for All The King's Horses.

I just got this one recently and I sure love it. Is this from the Bella Donna session? My mp3 says 5/8/79. Was Tusk already done?

Who's this band she's playing with?

David?

Who's this band she's playing with?Many years ago, I told people that this was done in 1979 but they didn't believe me. They scoffed at me & told me to go away. But finally a date surfaced with the master reels & it was indeed done in 1979. (never mind the fact that I thought Lindsey was playing guitar & john bass.) I based my dating solely on Stevie's vocal.

This is more than likely not Fleetwood Mac--it is Tom on bass, I don't know who on guitar (maybe Tom on guitar too) & I'm not sure on drums, although maybe it's Mick. It has a little of that Mick creep in a way, but in other ways it does not remind me of Mick. Stevie herself probably did the piano. Those chords are played the Stevie Way.

Stevie did countless demos with Tom circa 1979.

I'm partial to the stuff from The Wild Heart era so I'd have to say Julia, Belle Fleur and All The Beautiful Worlds. Oh and Beautiful Ghost too. there are so many I can't just choose one.

I don't think I've ever heard Space Needle, and I see it on several posts in this thread. Would someone share that with me? :xoxo:

She Loves Him Still

Oh no...
No one heard her call his name
No one heard a sound she made
They wouldn't have liked it much anyway
To know that she still loves him

No one understands this love...
No one ever will
Till his dying day not even he himself can change this
She loves him still...

I miss my friend...
I miss the sound of his laughter
She remembers him saying...
"Well, where are you going?
Oh, just what is it that you are after?"

No one understands this man...
No one ever will
Till his dying day not even he himself can change this
She loves him still...

"So how are you?
Have you learned to deal with this?"
"Well, oh no, "she says
"No, I have not learned...
You see, I cannot deal without you..."
So the flame still burns...
The flame burns on...

No one understands this love...
No one ever will
Till his dying day
She was heard to say...
She loves him still...

And the sands of time like shattering glass go past her
She still loves him
Oh no, they wouldn't have liked it much anyway
But she still loves him
And the sands of time like shattering glass go past her
Straight back to the sea
She still loves him

[paleshadow]

I also liked "Gold & Braid" a lot on Enchanted. She should've done a studio version of that.

There are a few studio versions of G&B out there, they just didn't get released. I'm partial to the live version though.

[JazmenFlowers]

She Loves Him Still
oh geez...I forgot about this one...it is fabulous. I think I have 3 versions. my favorite version is from the OSOTM sessions.

I like
Love You Enough, China Doll, and Blue Water the best. Oh, and this one specific version of Lady From the Mountain.

Oh, and I love, love, love the Gypsy(s) with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. "DO IT RIGHT, DO IT RIHITE!"

[Sahara]

I've read a lot of the lyrics to these and I'm really curious to hear them. Annabel Lee especially.

Is there any other site apart from ThrownDown? Or can someone explain it to me, please? I have never been able to make head nor tail of how to navigate that site...

Looking forward to hearing your versions Jason(Jaz).

[Richard B]

Does anyone have Belle Fluer in excellent sound quality? Love this one, but all the versions I've found (there have been many) seem to be similiar in piss poor audio.

Also...Tied Up (In Promises) with excellent audio would be extra sweet too.

Anyone?

China Doll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SapphireSister]

Stevie's number one best unreleased song by a Landslide (no pun intended) is All the Beautiful Worlds. This song is the epitome of perfection and far surpasses any other unlreased song IMO. How this song never ended up on an album is beyond me. With some of the other demos I can see why. While many of them are beautiful songs it may have been difficult to find the right production or Stevie may not have been happy with the direction the producers went in or her demo version (or they never made it that far) but ATBW is perfect exactly as we have it, album ready. The question then becomes, why was it left out? Other greats include Channel Channel, Joan of Arc, City of Hope, Ooh Ooh Baby, and Space Needle (but they need a little work). I also think Mirror Mirror should have been officially released on an album instead of just a b-side. Same goes with One More Big Time Rock and Roll Star. Both songs are worthy of far more than b-sides (and yes I know OMBTRARS was on Enchanted but I still think it should have been on an album prior to that).

[Richard B]

I have a Belle Fleur from the Street Angel Reel. Do you have that one? It's very clear.
I don't have that one. I prefer The Wild Heart demo, but I would like to hear this version. Thank you!

Richard - I have a demo dated 1993 that is crystal clear.
Sounds like the SA version too. Thank you!

Which ever one can post it (YouSendIt) would be so great. I'll think of something to share for both of you.

Hands down:

Julia - Take 5 or 9

[David]

You ROCK. Thanks.

I agree with the Knid, this couldn't be recorded in 1993.
It isn't. The dates on some of the master reels probably pertained to other things rather than when recorded, or in some cases older songs were grouped with newer songs & the date on the label was for the newer songs.

[David]

Stevie's number one best unreleased song by a Landslide (no pun intended) is All the Beautiful Worlds.

YES, YES, YES!!! I adore "All the Beautiful Worlds". One of her absolute best! Perfection! Here are some of other favorites:

Running Through The Garden (RAL demo) - This song kicks some serious ass. I love all those layered vocals in the chorus. The SYW version, though very good, can never compare to this one for me. There's so much energy in it!

Tied Up in Promises- Not sure if Stevie wrote this one or not and I do believe it was recorded by someone else (Louise Goffen?). Still, a great song

She Loves Him Still - heartbreakingly beautiful

Three Birds of Rhiannon

[KarmaContestant]

Stevie's unreleased songs are so much fun to listen to. It's kind of fun to make mix CDs of them...making up new, pretend albums I guess. :D

I've been really out of the Stevie loop for the past several months. My boyfriend is 'allergic', or so he claims, and so I haven't been able to give much ear time to Stevie lately..

My favorite unreleased songs tend to be piano demos...I really like Mistaken Love, Lady From The Mountain and Blue Water. 24 Karat Gold is a favorite...as is All The Beautiful Worlds. For some reason, I love Castaway. Starshine is great too, and I really love The Dealer, She Loves Him Still, Space Needle and All The Kings Horses. Oh, and Chanel Chanel is a neat song.
