Your favorite "not included" songs

[Villavic]

I'm not sure if I have heard all not included songs from each álbum, but maybe you have. Anyway, this poll is about your favorite bunch of songs that didn't make it.

So Tango has You and I part I, Rumours has Planet of the Universe, Silver Springs, etc.... What álbum "has" your favorite not included songs??

[MacShadowsBall]

Interesting indeed.

I love those Tango B-sides and remixes, but also love the Rumours version of "Think About It", and "Fireflies" which I suppose would fall under the Tusk choice. :cool:

Then Play On

But.. but.. this is a Rumours forum!!

Fortunately you didn't answer Surrealistic Pillow! :laugh:

I voted for Tango, mostly because I adore You and I Part 1, Ricky, and especially Down Endless Street, but also because I'm just not as familiar with what was left off of Rumours (except what has been officially released since), Tusk, and Mirage (except for Goodbye Angel, which I love, and Cool Water and Smile At You, which I don't). Does anyone have a complete list of "left off" tracks for each album?

Carlos, you KNOW those are just "guidelines" that easily are blurred. :laugh:
Plus, you didn't specifically say "of the Rumours era" in your queston. :nod:

True, but I probably would've leaned more toward Crown Of Creation :laugh:

Random note: "After Bathing At Baxter's" is Jefferson Airplane's "Tusk." But I digress...

"Silver Springs" is definitely the stand out song of songs that missed the album roster. I think Mirage would have benefited more by having "If You Were My Love."

Of course there are numerous Stevie Nicks songs that should have been featured on Fleetwood Mac/solo albums. But I digress...

Mirage has some good "not included" songs, like If You Were My Love,Goodbye Angel and Blue Monday (what a song!).
But TITN has all the "not included" songs I like a bit more: You & I (part I), Book Of Miracles, Joan of Arc, Down Endless Street...

Rumours! I'm in love with "Keep Me There" and Stevie's demo of "The Chain" and piano demo of "Planets of the Universe". For demos, they sound amazing! I'm greatful FM spent so much time on perfecting them but, I can't help but think as I'm listening to some of these awesome demos..."gosh, did they really need to?"

Mirage: Smile At You

[secret love]

The "angry demo" of Smile at You from the Mirage recording sessions is amazing...so much more passion than the Say You Will version recorded twenty years later. The newer version just sounds bland and repetitive to me ...

Does anyone have a complete list of "left off" tracks for each album?
I'd love that too since there's a lot of songs that I don't know the origins of. Here's what I think I know (more Stevie ones) but someone please correct me where I'm wrong (I'm not sure a lot of these were seriously considered for the albums or just recorded around the same time):

Rumours: Silver Springs, Planets of the Universe, The Chain, Keep Me There, The Dealer, Think About It

Tusk: Kiss and Run, Beauty and the Beast, The Dealer, Lady from the Mountain, Watch Devil, The Nightmare, Farmer's Daughter, Fireflies

Mirage: If You Were My Love, Smile At You, I've Been Loving You Too Long, Blue Monday, Goodbye Angel, Cool Water

Tango: Juliet/Book of Miracles, Ricky, Down Endless Street, Joan of Arc, What Has Rock'n'Roll Ever Done For You?, Special Kind of Love, ETA: You and I Pt 1

ETA: Behind the Mask: Got No Home, Victim Of Love

ETA: Say You Will: Deep Dense, Given Thing

I tried to look up old threads, but got a little overwhelmed.

No wonder Stevie felt like she needed a solo career.

[KenB]

Anybody know where to hear the most "complete" (i.e., produced) versions of Special Kind of Love, Kiss and Run, Lady from the Mountain, Watch Devil, or The Nightmare?

[Steviegirl]

Mirage: Smile At You

This X 1000. Every time I hear this demo (AND "If You Were My Love,") I always think they both could have been big hits. It perplexes me that they were never released on albums. I understand about time and that there is only so much space and three writers, but goodness gracious~these are beautiful songs.

[Steviegirl]

And in the case of "Smile at You," by 'beautiful,' I mean beautifully constructed and good.

WatchDevil: The best version is from the master reel titled "Living Room Demos". You might be able to find a link to the reel by searching the Stevie forum.

Lady from The Mountain: There are several demos found on the master reels. There are also some 80's RAL outtakes. The master reels will give you the best quality, but they are more raw than the RAL outtake, which is similar to Moonlight from IYD.

The Nightmare: There's nothing in circulation that isn't an alternate mix of the version on RAL. The most produced non-album version would be the Vocal Mix found on the 12" single for I Can't Wait.

You & I (Part I) for TITN.
And yes, reading the songs, definitely Mirage and Tango have the best *not included* songs. No regrets.
Regards!

"Got No Home", "Victim Of Love" (demoed for BTM)

"Deep Dense", "Given Thing" (demoed before SYW)

What's not to like?

[RockawayBlind]

The only two I really would have liked to see in a studio album were You and I Part 1 and Fireflies. OK, I would throw in The Farmer's Daughter as well.

There were a lot of other good tunes in the reject pile, but those are my favorites.
