Nothing new on Stevie’s New Compilation... I’ll pass, will... [Archive]

Why would you start a whole new thread instead of using the original one?

Probably just to spew more negativity all over the Stevie forum.

I've never seen a fan forum full of so many people who slag off the artist and their music.

It used to be nice on here, once.

Listing one of the choices as 'having cancer' is nasty, especially for people on this board who have, had, or know someone that had cancer. Imagine if it said 'I'd rather have emergency heart surgery' instead.'

This is a “will you buy it poll”. It’s not the same thing.

That was before the old witch engineered Lindsey's firing and destroyed the remaining years of Fleetwood Mac by tarnishing their legacy.

And guess what she left off this comp? Soldiers Angel. She referred to it as her most highly regarded song from IYD. Of course it's a dig at Lindsey, it's not like he's important to her legacy or anything....

I'd rather get a root canal instead of giving that disappointment of an artist another dime. Sorry not sorry.

I used to be a huge fan, would buy two copies of a new release.

Yeah a hemorrhoidectomy would have been better..it is painful but generally not fatal.

Two 3 Disc greatest hits box sets in addition to 2 other single disc greatest hits....that alone is cause for a hemorrhoids.

But folks will blindly line up to buy what they already have! I'm sure the 24K gold tracks will sound as stellar as they did the first time!

I don’t think so. This isn’t a very good package. There is too much filler on it from some sub par albums. There isn’t anything interesting on it, like cleaned up demos or new songs. No Stevie fan really needs this package and frankly, there are a lot of sub par tracks on this that don’t even show her at her best. This may turn off fans. It’s not her best.

She has 3 songs on the first disc from Street Angel - GROSS!!!! What the hell is her team thinking. Too much stuff from later career and not good choices.

“Street Angel” is as much a part of her solo career as “Bella Donna” and I’m glad she is for once acknowledging its existence. The set will be worth it for me IF it includes remastered versions of the single edits and remixes.

You’re right and it doesn’t make a good case for her.

If it's billed on the album as "featuring Lindsey Buckingham," he may have had to sign off on its inclusion.

it's a way of cashing in on all the publicity around the RRHOF stuff. People who may not have been buying her albums all along, or who are too young to know stuff other than the biggest hits will (they hope) get caught up in the hall of fame hype and decide to buy it. From a grab-as-much-cash-as-you-can-while-you-can perspective it's a smart business move. From a meaningful content, growth as an artist perspective, it's :eek:

I think her solo career is over. I actually liked 24K Gold but I don’t see her ever giving us real versions of other demos like 3 Birds of Rhiannon, Forest of Black Roses, Mistaken Love, Night Gallery - these are some of her most atmospheric songs and they will never see the light day. I might have a made a purchase for something like that but another retread is out of the picture. Cannot believe how uninteresting this package is.

Yes definitely and for Christmas gifts as well.

Yeah, I'll totally buy this. Even if only for not having to buy the soundtrack to get "Your Hand," I think it's worth it. But I also don't have quality copies of some of the duets, and remasters of some of these songs will be nice.

Folks are correct I think, that this is her RRHOF compilation. But I think it's a pretty unusual package with all those collaborations and live pieces, especially where she contributes the background vocals only (I know "Gold" was also on Enchanted, but there's several here). I think it's missing a few songs, recent-ish covers "Not Fade Away," and "It's So Easy," as well as the duet "I Pretend," and "Touched By An Angel," from the Sweet November soundtrack. That's my only quibble.

I thought "Sometimes It's a Bitch" would have been on the duets CD as well, but I know Stevie wasn't crazy about the song. Also, "Real Tears," Intuition," and "Desiree" (the last two with Rick Vito would have been nice, too, along with the songs you mentioned.

I know those business boys haven't asked me, but I'd have pushed her Bella Donna and Wild Heart deluxe sets for RRHOF. Why just let those fade from view? Don't they have any more gas in their tank?

And I suppose Lindsey's recent boxset was just for the heck of it, right?

They're all as bad as eachother when it comes to money. Had the fall out not happened, I'm sure all 5 of them would continue to peddle the same hits tours and compilation packages and reissues.

Uh...lets do some basic math.

Lindsey: 1 Anthology package with two new tracks. First comp of his entire career.

Stevie: Timespace, Crystal Visions, Enchanted, and now this. 9 discs later. Not to mention the soundstage thing which was essentially a live greatest hits.

Exactly. His first solo album was in what, 81? 82? And he puts out his first anthology, greatest hits, whatever you want to think of it as, in TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. Over 30 years, one compilation.

He ain't the one "finding out what works and driving it into the ground."
