From the STREET ANGEL Work Tapes:
 

Sorry this is taking so long. My mother is having a few complications from her surgery, so I have been in Austin with her. However, I haven't finished uploading the songs, yet. There are 6 more outtakes from STREET ANGEL, plus the 20 Live Rehearsal songs (sung on lead by Sharon, as confirmed by Sara).

Thanks for your patience, and THANKS to all of those who helped us! I will get the rest uploaded soon.

WOW to Mirror Mirror. How does that not make the album but Listen to the Rain, Unconditional Love and Just Like a Woman do?

Thanks Mike.

Holy shizzola! Is it just me or is the SA version of "Mirror, Mirror" like a note-for-note replica of "Edge of Seventeen?" It is epic!!!!!!! I had no idea the girl had the stones to do something like this in 1993.

mirror mirror?? BEST version of this song i've heard...thanks so much for this!!! LOVE IT!! great song to run to...problem is i havent run in 2 years..hahahaa..maybe this'll get me going again..THANKS MUCH!!

That's exactly what I was thinking, it's just like the SA era version of Edge, it's really quite incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this one, Mikebise!

Mike - this is great; thank you so much! :]

What an amazing discovery! Mirror, Mirror (Street Angel Version) is blowing my mind!
The musicians playing on this also remind me of the touring band Stevie was using for the OSOTM tour - kinda funky, and less of the crunchy WW guitar chops. It's a damn shame this song never came to full fruition on any of Stevie's solo records. Thanks MIKE!!!

July 1992~ Do y'all think this is Glyn Johns even producing it? The tape had no producer credits. It just doesn't sound like the rest of the Street Angel songs (any mix).

I was telling a friend it reminded me of Tina Turner's 1996 cover of Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy".

It's amazing the comparison between that and this version of MLWCYM....very tired and sluggish. The rock and the drive was definitely there in that era, she just didn't push herself to her best.

This version is spellbinding! I'm loving it. Thank you so much, Mike!!

Could it be Chris Lord-Alge producing? He was at the helm of "Thousand Days," which was also recorded in 1992.

My first thought on hearing Maybe Love was uh oh it's the klonopin voice.
I'm intrigued with the arrangement of this Mirror Mirror. It still sounds very late 80's to me. Also I appreciate the effort but at some points she's over singing it. I have to wonder if someone was pushing her to do that? :shrug: In the moments where she doesn't seem to be so self aware there are flashes of the original Stevie solo brilliance. I'm going to have to listen to this many more times, of course.

I would suffer for the love? ;)

Fantastic stuff, pal! This is going straight to my HTC Thunderbolt (4G LTE) for jogging & working out!

As soon as I heard this version of Mirror Mirror for some reason it just popped in my head that this song, had it have made the album, would have been an f'in brilliant opening track. Would've been epic like TISL or Moonlight (had it actually opened IYD)

Whoa, loving this Mirror Mirror - thanks so much, Mike!

Yeah, it sounds like an album opener to me, too.

I really love this new Mirror Mirror and MLWCYM. Mirror Mirror is gonna be my new Summer song of 2011. Thank you Mike and all the anonymous donors.:thumbsup:

The beginning sounded like Rooms On Fire to me,then it hits a whole 'nother level. It's baffling how songs that are perfectly album(and single)-worthy get left off and never see the light of day..even b-sides/bonus tracks Silver Springs,Real Tears,Inspiration,My Heart etc. It's like 'why'?!!

Johnny, I think you & Mike are on to something. This July 1992 version of "Mirror, Mirror" does not sound like the production stylings during Glyn Johns reign over the SA sessions. This was probably recorded prior to Glyn's official involvement, and it does sound more similar to the production of "Thousand Days" - which I also never thought sounded like anything on the SA album, but more as an outtake from OSOTM or TimeSpace at the time it was released as a b-side in 1994.

Thank you so much Mike! Here's sending healing energies and positive thoughts for a quick recovery for your mother your way!


Oh my gosh.......what an awesome version of Mirror Mirror, and to think it could have been more.....even an album opener.

Mike Mike, Thank You Thank You for Mirror Mirror. It's always amazing to hear fully fleshed out Stevie songs see the light of day, instead of just rusting away in the can.

This is a great version of Mirror Mirror. How did this never get out before?

After a few listens, I'm starting to wonder why (or if?) Stevie chose to release the Rock A Little outtake of Mirror Mirror as the b-side to Blue Denim in the U.S. instead of this one.

Could it have been a mistake?

Thanks again, Mike. :)

I thought the exact same thing!! sorta like it's been speculated that the SA mixes on Enchanted were a mistake too...?? i bet they both were, someone dug in the pile of tapes and was like...ooh Mirror,Mirror should be the bside to Blue Denim..and didn't bother listening and it happened to be the 85 recording... ...wonder if Stevie was upset by this if it was in fact the case??? lol

I have Mirror Mirror on Repeat Repeat. Effing AMAZING! :nod::nod::nod::D:D:blob2::blob2::blob2::blob1::thumbsup:

When the Bionic comes out, you'll be jealous.

Michele

WOW! I LOVE the vocals! This is the best version I think I've heard so far!
Thank you

I think in many ways Street Angel had a vibe and groove that Stevie didn't fully tap into and its evident through song selection and some of the production, and what a misstep it was leaving this version of Mirror Mirror off (the wall :)) It's a shame she didn't do the entire album in'92 because she was on fire vocally (remember Desiree) and this subsided a little by the time the album was released. I still rank Street Angel above Rock a Little and the Other Side of the Mirror and it possibly could have surpassed The Wild Heart with a couple more great performances like this lost gem.

Mike, thank you very much. I've yet to download Maybe Love but this version of Mirror Mirror is indeed killer. I can't say I'd take it over the RAL version (B-side of Blue Denim) because I think that is fantastic as well but now we have 2 great versions :)

If anyone remembers an interview Stevie did with Jill Savage in 1992 on a rock station here in DC/MD (she thanks me at the end of the inteview) :), when talking about the new album she said something to the effect that people were really going to be amazed. I wonder if the other version of Jane that I love so much was also done in 92 because there really are some wonderful gems during this period. This version of Mirror Mirror confirms that. I also love the 91 or 92 mix of Listen to the Rain where Stevie sings like herself and not that forced rock vocal that we got on the CD.

Looking forward to more - thanks again.

I don't think I've heard a '91 mix of Listen To The Rain. can u post?

Like Lisa mentioned above, I really wonder about the songs Stevie submitted for publishing in 1992:

Mirror, Mirror
Mix-Down
I Call You Missing
The Dance
Running Through The Garden
Street Angel
Love Is Like A River
Rose Garden
Blue Denim

Almost makes me wonder if there was another album going on before Glyn Johns got involved.

BTW, Sara told me the Street Angel version of "I Call You Missing" is amazing!!!

Mirror Mirror is one of my favorites so I can't wait to get home and listen to this. I find it interesting that she didn't like the way this song turned out back in "83-"84, which altered the history of RAL yet she would revisit it in 1992. She obviously wanted the song to be recorded and appear on a record. Too bad it didn't make it onto IYD...

This is the best version of Mirror Mirror I've ever heard...why didn't she release this as the b-side instead of the RAL version????

The other six songs are added to the original post. Thanks to my partners for helping me upload since I am very busy taking care of my mother right now (and Mediafire is NOT working for me).

How do we know it's the RAL version? I know a lot of people mention that but her vocals don't seem as ragged as a lot of the RAL tracks.

I have the same version, minus the verse at the end, on a demo cassette I got in 1989 before the release of The Other Side of the Mirror from a classified ad seller in Rolling Stone magazine. Not definite proof that it's a RAL outtake - but definitely proof it's not a Street Angel era recording.

Thanks again....

Just a heads up...looks like this link is not working:

Unconditional Love - Take 2 - 06/22/93

Thanks Mike.

I hope your Mom is better soon.
