"Reflections" Changes to "Crystal Visions"
 
http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release...ease_id=210619


BURBANK, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 01, 2007 -- In the news release, "'REFLECTIONS - THE VERY BEST OF STEVIE NICKS' CD/DVD Package Scheduled for March 27 Release," issued earlier today by Warner Bros. Records, we are advised by the company that the title of Stevie Nicks album is "CRYSTAL VISIONS... THE VERY BEST OF STEVIE NICKS" rather than "REFLECTIONS - THE VERY BEST OF STEVIE NICKS" as originally issued. Complete corrected text follows.

"CRYSTAL VISIONS... THE VERY BEST OF STEVIE NICKS" CD/DVD Package Scheduled for March 27 Release

Nicks to Perform at Super Bowl Pre-Game on CBS This Sunday

BURBANK, CA -- February 01, 2007 -- Stevie Nicks, one of the most successful female artists in rock history and the embodiment of the transcendent power of music, is scheduled to release "CRYSTAL VISIONS... THE VERY BEST OF STEVIE NICKS" on March 27th; it was announced today by her label, Reprise Records. "CRYSTAL VISIONS" is an extraordinary collection of songs from the multi-platinum, multi-Grammy Award winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's stunning three decade career as a solo artist and member of the legendary Fleetwood Mac.

"CRYSTAL VISIONS... THE VERY BEST OF STEVIE NICKS" opens with the original mastered studio version of "Edge of Seventeen" and closes with a live performance of the song recorded last summer with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. In between are Nicks' classics including "Stand Back," "Leather and Lace" and "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Tom Petty. The CD also has a live version of "Landslide" (also recorded with the Melbourne Symphony), "Rhiannon" and a knock-out version of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll." Other standouts are a haunting version of "Sorcerer" sung with Sheryl Crow which was originally on Nicks' "TROUBLE IN SHANGRI-LA" CD, the Deep Dish dance remix of "Dreams" and "Silver Springs" from the original master of "RUMOURS" -- a cult favorite which appeared only as a b-side to "Go Your Own Way."

The DVD component of "CRYSTAL VISIONS" offers 13 Stevie videos with voice-over commentary by Nicks as well as an audio interview by journalist David Wild. Also included on the DVD is a never before seen Stevie Nicks home video which was filmed during the making of the five-times platinum "BELLA DONNA" album. The accompanying booklet will have original Stevie Nicks art work as well as photographs and personal pictures hand-picked by the artist representing a cross section of iconic pictures spanning her entire career.

Stevie Nicks is scheduled to perform this weekend (Feb. 4) at the Super Bowl pre-show in Miami this Sunday airing on CBS and is headed back to the famous Collosseum at Caesars Palace for a return engagement of her specially conceived critically acclaimed show on March 20, 21, 23 and 24.

This Spring, Nicks will embark on a national concert tour with Chris Isaak. Dates for the tour will be announced shortly.

I much prefer Crystal Visions.

Yes....Seven Wonders is taking the credit for the name change.

RockALittle250 02-01-2007 11:12 PM

Ahh...you beat me to it lol! Yea, this isn't too surprising since MJB and Carly Simon both have Best Of Albums with the Reflections title...i guess someone at Warner just finally woke up!

JazmenFlowers 02-01-2007 11:12 PM

what? omg. :laugh:

seems a little suspicious though.

after I spent an hour on my sig pic...figures.

jwd 02-01-2007 11:13 PM

Better title for sure...tour dates please?! :D

JazmenFlowers 02-01-2007 11:20 PM

I actually liked Reflections better...but, I think (if this is actually true) they were probably throwing both names around and then had to decide on one for press releases and at the eleventh hour Stevie changed her mind.

I am sure that is exactly the way it happened. Tis probably why there has been no cover art on Amazon etc. I bet the cover art appears quite soon .:nod:

awesome point.

I can't wait to see some packaging!

RockALittle250 02-01-2007 11:29 PM

This is all very exciting with so much news coming all at once!

SandyMac 02-01-2007 11:30 PM

Okay, this actually sounds more like a Stevie title.

Johnny Stew 02-02-2007 12:11 AM

I greatly prefer 'Crystal Visions.'
It's more "Stevie," and it's more original -- since, as has been pointed out, both Carly Simon and Mary J. Blige have recent career retrospectives with the title of 'Reflections.'

EveryHour 02-02-2007 12:56 AM

Don't LOVE 'Crystal Visions', but 'Reflections' was making me want to puke so I'll take it.

We'll see.............

MacMan 02-02-2007 08:26 AM

Well isn't that interesting! Either title I was fine with, but this is more "Stevie"... And Jazmen... Nice sig. Cool font!

JohnL 02-02-2007 08:33 AM

Seems to me...
 
that I got a tape of different mixes of Stevie songs, etc. from one VJ Tre about 4-5 years ago entitled Crystal Visions. I dont think Seven Wonders can take credit...lol. They also gave Sheryl Crow a copy of this at a show with Stevie. I wonder if that copy made it to Stevie?

BlackWidow 02-02-2007 09:33 AM

Crystal Visions...so Stevie...

thank ya!

Johnny Stew - did the same thing occur to you when you read this? remember the Ledge compiled collection of Stevie demos and live stuff we all put together way, way back and then had a competition to give it a title and I won with...yep, Crystal Visions.

I still have that tape with the awesome drawing of Stevie's eyes...

DestinyRules 02-02-2007 09:48 AM

I like Crystal Visions better because that can be uniquely identified as Stevie Nicks. Reflections could be anybody: Mary J. Blige and Carly Simon as mentioned earlier or even Diana Ross for chrissakes.

Except for some of the song choices being a little disappointing (namely "Sorcerer" -- "Fall From Grace" was a much better song off TISL), it actually sounds like a decent collection. I'm definitely jazzed to get a cover version of "Rock And Roll" on a commercial release, though I'd have also liked "I Need To Know." The home video stuff and the interview/Stevie commentary sounds like the sort of stuff we should be getting from our heroes.

I'd be first in line to buy it on Tuesday, but Tuesdays are the busiest day at my job. I gotta put out a newspaper ya know. lol

shackin'up 02-02-2007 09:53 AM

hey ! another one referring to oneself as someone with visions.
:D
I like the change of title though....

Well, we know one thing. It will look good. Stevie would have nothing less!

I agree. Too many CDs or songs with the same name by different artists is not good.

I like Crystal Visions better than Reflections too. Although I do have a thing (bad) about the name/word Crystal :rolleyes:

danax6 02-02-2007 12:49 PM

Ooh, much better. I didn't like 'Reflections' at all.

Nixxxed 02-02-2007 12:50 PM

What a nightmare, PR-wise. Poor Liz Rosenberg. :laugh: I was wondering why the title still isn't listed on the Fix, even after several "official" and official announcements this week.

Ever heard of Chris Nicks? :cool:

Rickypt 02-02-2007 01:56 PM

I am admittedly jetlagged and cranky, but come on. "Crystal Vision", the "Dreams" show in Vegas and the "Gold Dust" tour.

Is Stevie only about nostalgia? Surely she can be a little more creative than this.

Would you prefer something with "Angel" in the title?

;) :xoxo:

Yes! "Crystal Visions Angel"? "Reflecting Angel"?

Yeah, but both those tours were with no new material, so it kinda made sense :shrug: as is this new cd/dvd release.

I agree... I think "Crystal Visions" is almost on the verge of self-parody. By contrast, I thought "Timespace" was a really cool, original name. Even if Stevie were to stay within the nostalgia column, they could have pulled out something a little more unexpected:

"Lady from the Mountain: the Best of Stevie Nicks"
"Sorceress: the Best of Stevie Nicks"
"Mirror, Mirror... the Best of Stevie Nicks"
"Doing the Best I Can: the Best of Stevie Nicks"
"Bella Donna, Give-or-take" :p

I think "Cloaks and Daggers" is already taken. :lol:

I rather have something Stevie-esque like that than 'Reflections'. Really. I do have some other suggestions though:

- Stevie Nicks: On the Edge of Sixty
- Stevie Nicks: I Don't Want to Record
- Stevie Nicks: Landmark
- Stevie Nicks: How Still My Inspiration
- Stevie Nicks: Blame It On My Wild Heart
- Stevie Nicks: Rock A Little Less
- Stevie Nicks: I Don't Sing For the Things Anymore
- Stevie Nicks: Nothing Ever Changes

:p

Yep, Travis and George compiled that... and did a fantastic job.
I remember several of us speculating whether or not Sheryl may have brought it to Stevie's attention, since a couple of the demos George & Travis included on the compilation ended up on 'Trouble In Shangri-La.'

It definitely occured to me! In fact, I was telling Joshua all about the original 'Crystal Visions'... how it came about, etc.

It think it's why I'm so partial to that title, and think it's so fitting for this collection.
