Anyways, a second disc of not just demos, but maybe those B-sides I heard about (anyone know what are they?)

Pants=Slang for craptacula.

Why don't you have a look in the Demos thread? I know it's mostly Stevie material, but I found some wonderful Mac gems in the thread archives. There were some really nice Mirage outtakes. Blue Monday would be my favourite. So much 'tude from Lindsey :D

I can't remember what was in the thread now, but if you PM me at some point I can send you the links to download what I have :)

Ricky
Down Endless Street
You & I, Part 1
Book Of Miracles
(the instrumental backing track for a song that eventually became "Juliet")

Book of Miracles and You And I Pt. 1 are amazing :blob2:

That was it! I always swore there were more B-sides, but I might be getting some Mirage tunes mixed up too

The B-side of the "Gypsy" single is the non-LP track, a cover of the Sons Of The Pioneers' "Cool Water".

Pretty crazy that "Goodbye Angel" wasn't tacked on as a b-side to one of those "Mirage" singles. Lindsey must have wanted to keep it for himself?

That was it! I always seem to turn non-album B-sides for bands into a huge mess and think they're these lost, mysterious things and that more exist than actually do (sorry, I grew up in the age of buy CDs or download)

Anyways, a random theory here, but I noticed that those TITN B-sides all seem to have originated from Lindsey. Were they tracks that would've been on the album if it was a Bucky solo album and when it became a Mac album, they got removed and left to be B-sides? :shrug:

"Ricky" is a Christine McVie song.

But the song itself, still sounds like a demo. It's a little monotonous, and just needs some "fleshing out".

Like Luke said, Ricky is a Christine song, and Book of Miracles is Lindsey's instrumental arrangement of Juliet which was written by Stevie. There's a really good Tango outtake of Juliet, stylistically pretty much like Think About Me mixed with Angel or something. That would make a great bonus track if they remaster it!

Where can I hear Ricky without having to go hunting for 45s and whatnot? Does anyone have a MP3 of it?

So wait, Juliet was a colaboration between Lindsey and Stevie? Based on what I heard so far, Juliet was almost a Mac song, but we got the instruemental version Book of Miracles instead and the full Juliet ended up on Other Side of the Mirror(sorry, haven't really paid attention the album after Rooms on Fire and Long Way to Go)?

I don't mean to ask so many questions folks. This era has me intrigued now

Juliet was written by Stevie alone, Book of Miracles is just Lindsey's own instrumental arrangement of it. I don't like OSOTM much at all but I love Juliet and Book of Miracles!

Thanks Rowan:) I shall download 'em later.

Also, does anyone know why You and I Part II and not Part I is on the album? I always found that a bit strange and, when I was first getting into the Mac, I just figured Part I was on Mirage or something, not an entire B-side

It was left off at the last minute, in favor of a Stevie song that made it on at the last minute.
