Thanks! Boy does she sound bad! However I love it! Its so 1984!

So I wonder, where are the rest of the RAL altenate takes? Timelife put out a alternate version of Talk To Me on their 1986 cd. It BLOWS the album version out of the bathhouse.

Would love to hear more alternates(are they here on other sites and im just not looking hard enough?). What was the original 84 album Mirror Mirror running order?

There are RAL outtakes all over the net from time to time. It seems as though over the past year, there are fewer and fewer sites hosting demos for download, and RAL era demos always seem to be popular....maybe SodaScouts would be willing to post some of them on BN.net if you asked her.

I don't know anything about the original running order of the Mirror Mirror LP that never came to be...though I would be curious to know. I made my own version of this imaginary album a while back, and really got into it for a while...it was pretty groovy. Well, I think so. ;)

I really, really hope that Stevie gets around to remastering her first three albums soon - and that she includes some of the outtakes on a bonus CD - there are just too many gems from this time period, though some would not agree with this assessment at all. :p

I'm not saying this list is complete or entirely accurate in the chronological sense (some may be Wild Heart/TOSOTM leftovers), but here is what I have on my PC listed as RAL outtakes/demos. Should anyone see something they cannot live without, let me know...I'll post it with You Send It in this thread, but please have some patience, as I am seemingly always exhausted nowadays:

Here is the uptempo outtake of I Sing For The Things. I love, love, love this version! It's so different from the LP cut, and the vocal is outstanding.

:sorry: This keeps happening...for some reason, I keep pasting the last link I copied instead of the one I just copied. Guess I should check these before I post them.

Here is the outtake of I Sing For The Things.
