conversation tapes
 

hiya, i was just reading back on some old threads, and one was about some conversation tapes with chris, mick and stevie, and they were just sooooo funny!!!!! how could i get hold of these? or anything like them? i would just love to have them so much!!!!! thankyou!!!:D

I have this on CD. If you'd like to trade, just send me a private message.:)

I'd love to hear some of these too. I have bits of conversations from demos and outtakes, and some of them are hilarious! I love when Chris attempts singing Stevie songs. Rhiannon and Dreams are pretty disasterous with those high notes, but funny as hell.

One of my personal favourites are rehearsals of Gold Dust Woman from one of the Rumours rehearsals... Mid-way through, around the 3 minute mark there's an instrumental break, and all you hear from Chris is this loud "UNH!!"
One really must wonder what was going on. LOL. I think Stevie laughs a little afterward. It sounds kinda hot, though. :woohoo:

If I understand GypsySongbird & what boot she's referring to, this isn't conversations from any demos & outtakes. This is private stuff. Mick had his tape recorder running. Several times, Chris tells him to turn it off.:laugh: They're from 1978 & 1981. It's kind of voyeristic.:laugh:

I've never heard of these. When are they from?

It's a bootleg labeled "Conversations". Mick had his tape recorder going in 1978 & 1981. I have no idea at all why he did this.:D There's some discussion about Lindsey's spinal tap back in the summer of 1978 & there's a smaller bit from around 1981, probably when they were working on Mirage. They discuss Stevie's friend who would eventually die of leukemia.

I think they also talk about everyone partying in Christine's room (I beleive Bob Welch is mentioned) and Stevie is chuffed because she says she was "bored stiff" in her room watching television and why didn't anyone ask her to come? They are a hoot. If this CD is tracked, I'll see if I can find it and post some of them.

I don't think it was Bob Welch. I think it may have been a photographer who was in Christine's room - Sam Emerson, maybe. Stevie talks non-stop through the tape, by the way.:laugh: The whole thing is very funny and very strange.:D

Everything on my CD is on just a few tracks...they're very long. That's why I didn't post them, as I have dial-up.

I do remember them talking about Sam Emerson. I might be getting them mixed up. I found the disc and the first track is only five minutes long but the second is 40 minutes. So I'll post the first one where they are talking about Hold Me. And yes, Stevie is just yakking away. :lol:

awesome!! thanks!!!

now i need more!!! :blob1: :)

Yikes, listen to the loud cutting of lines! I used to live with a coke dealer, (till I got her out of my hose) and that sound is like nails on a chalkboard...or, you know, a razor blade on glass. ;^)

This is fascinating. thanks so much for postin, and I am really looking forward to more! The only other recording like this I have ever heard is that one where Stevie is talking about the roses for Sara.

Hmmmmm...any correlation? :laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:

Hypochondriacs unite!
 

Stevie: "It's oooover, it's oooover!"

Why can I picture her dancing around (Elaine dance, maybe?) as she says this? :laugh:

And Chris, the mediator, as always. "Nonononooo, Steeeeeeevie, listen! I'll do the song for yooou, you do the song for meee"

I heard the line cutting, too. *snickers*

This reminds me of those Beverly Vance conversations-- Anyone heard those? Now THOSE were whack. Especially Mick's rambling to the drum track for like, three hours.

Those are wild & wacky. Beverlee pouring her heart out to Sara Recor over why she & Stevie parted company.

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

Thanks for posting that - hilarious!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this.

It seems to me that Christine is having a completely different conversation to Stevie.

Gail

You know...That is exactly what I was thinking. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love you, Love you, Love you.... thanks so much! Where do I get more of these???

Stevie seems to be talking about Robin and Christine keeps talking about the music.

Also does our Chris sound like she's had a few lemonades too many???

Gail

thankyou!!!! wow this is great!!!! im really looking foreward to this now even more!!!!! :xoxo:

not to mention the constant sound of someone snortin'.

Can you repost this link ....it has expired. Thanks:o :nod:

:nod: :thumbsup: :wavey: :blob1: :blob2: Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listening to this again...

:lol:


This is just one of the funniest candid clips...ever.

any other tapes?

pretty pretty pretty please :)

The second part of this bootleg is about 40 minutes long. However, it's all on one track. I doubt anyone can post it unless they know how to break up the one large track into multiple smaller tracks.

I think David knows. He broke up a video, a couple years ago, and sent it to me in pieces. Then my dumb ass had to figure out how to put them back together!:( :lol:

Being a former cocaine user myself, this was like giving me goodebumps (not the good kind). Even if you couldn't hear the tapping and scraping of the razor blaade, you can tell just by HOW they're talking that they are so coked out. Poor Stevie had Robyn so strongly on her mind, and Chris just wanted to get back to talking about the music. :lol:

Hopefully, David will check out this thread again.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!

I'll look around and see if I can find the conversations with Sara and Beverlee. Like Macfan 57 said, the second track is 40ish minutes long and I don't know how to break it up.

This is labeled conversation 8:

Chris: If you can imagine Lindsey singing one of my songs...

Stevie: I can imagine me singing any of...all of...your songs! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love the conversation tapes. I have them on cd and transcribed what I have in a post in the Rumours forum. I must not have anything from the 70s and must have the clips just from the Mirage era...not sure.

You can use a program called hjsplit, Chris. It's free.

I think someone posted the entire Conversations bootleg on another website, including the big second track. Here's a link:
