CHINA DOLL CHINA DOLL CHINA DOLL! God, I love that song.....would love to hear a studio of it.

However, I would hate to see it done as POTU was done....love the demo, not too crazy about the TISL version.

I don't see how redoing POTU with her current voice would improve it. I don't mind the TISL version, but if I had to choose, I'd listen to the No Light demo any day.

amen to that!! I love love love No Light, and I like the Rumours "remastered" disc 2 of Planets, but I didn't care for it on TISL.

I would love to hear China Doll on a new album, just wouldn't want it to stray far away from the demo like Planets did.;)

+1. I've had those old demos for over a decade... gimme some new goodies!!! :thumbsup:

-Everybody Loves You
-New Orleans Song
-14 other new songs
-A bonus "Pre-order" disc or mp3's with several newly recorded versions of old demos, preferably: She Loves Him Still, Forsaken Love, Lady From The Mountains, a rock version of If You Were My Love, China Doll, City of Hope, She Calls You Missing, All The Kings Horses, Mabel Normand, and maybe a cover of Don't Come Around Here No More.

Wishful thinking? Perhaps. But this is 2010, and releasing songs is relatively easy nowadays. I can understand why Stevie has always resorted to bringing a few of her old demos and putting them on albums, because she wanted to get these songs out and the only way to do that back in the day was putting them on a new album or releasing them as a b-side. But here we are in the digital age and the way I see it is that the new album should have new material and those old demos she wants to officially release can easily be released as an EP on iTunes or come as a download with a deluxe pre-order package, which is something that was not near as feasible 10 years ago as it is now. All she has to do is go to the studio and record them and put them on iTunes, costing her very little money and time. It would be great for her to be able to release these songs, it would be great for the fans to get a considerable amount of new songs and rejuvenated demos, it would generate extra revenue from the iTunes sales, and boost album sales by people taking advantage of the pre-order. I actually can't see why Stevie wouldn't do this, but I'm still doubtful that she will.

I want all new stuff. Plus "Forsaken Love" and "Space Needle."

I really wish disscussions like this could wait until we got some sort of official album announcment.

I definitely agree. We've still not heard a peep from Stevie, her label, her managers, etc that there even IS an album. I've got a sneaking suspicion this whole Dave Stewart thing is being blown way, WAY outta proportion. All I'm saying is, if there WERE to be a new Stevie album, I'd prefer it be just that: a NEW album.

Absolutely. louie, I keep agreeing with you... do you Just like guys to say yes?!

What is ATBW?

All The Beautiful Worlds...I think

It's a song called "All the Beautiful Worlds". It was basically a completely song but did not make it on to The Wild Heart album (rumor has it because Jimmy Iovine nixed it) as many fans thought it should have. Very special, beautiful song. There's an entire thread about it if you search.

I agree with this, from past experience I'm not counting my chickens untill there hatched! And maybe full grown! I want it to be true soooo bad, butt!

I'm having a change of heart regarding re-recording and officially releasing some of our favorite demos. I mentioned this earlier in the thread but there's a part of me that would like to keep these songs ours and sacred to the fans who deeply love her. Once they are out there for the masses they are no longer our special gems. What do you guys think of that? I mean imagine if China Doll or ATBW or Mable Normand were released I think it would take something away. You see, I wasn't collecting demos back in 2001 so everything on TISL was new to me. It would be different today if some of them were released because the new versions may not do it justice. Those of you who were around for TISL and SYW I'm sure can appreciate this.
