So where are the people who have heard 24KG?
 

It is just a few weeks out from the 24KG's release now.By this time before the release of In Your Dreams we had a Ledgie that had heard that album as well as plenty of comments from journalist David Wild and also a record executive whose name escapes me.Surely there is someone out there has heard the album and can tell us something.:shrug:

David Wild has mentioned "24K" as well as Stevie on his twitter lately but not much else...It seems that "camp Stevie" is keeping things quiet...For now...

That's your cue, FM77! ;)

Just had to reboot this one since we are now coming up on one week from the vinyl release and no one seems to have heard this album in it's entirety .I had a burned promo copy of the entire TISL album 6 weeks before it's official release.There are not even any critical reviews of 24KG yet.They have done a great job of keeping this one under wraps!

Yes it seems people that have heard 24K are under some kind of secrecy agreement...Vanessa Carlton has a song on it so I would think she's heard it...Michelle Branch tweeted about hanging out at FM rehearsals so I think she's heard it...With "IYD" David Wild had already written an article by now...Maybe Stevie wants to concentrate on FM rehearsals and she will combine "24K" and "On with the show" interviews...Right now her "Self portrait" showing seems to be getting more press than her new record...

My friend in L.A. works for The A.P. all he would say is 24k is great
theres a huge gag order on anything Stevie and FMac

It's interesting that the most likely bogus Sharon instagram also said there was a gag order on Stevie & FM ...I can see FM trying to keep everything as low key as possible with John's recent health issues and Christine still adjusting to being back in the limelight but why all the secrecy with "24K"?

here's the conversation we had
there was a post about a gag order in effect till mid Oct but that might have been just for FMac, cant find it and dont remember it exact

Just interviewed Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham for the upcoming Fleetwood Mac reunion tour -- the first with all five principal members since 1998.
Here they are with publicist Liz Rosenberg: three legends in one shot.
A moment to savor —

need some scoop, pm me please, please???

Time to chat?

Lindsey was lovely. A lot of water under the bridge, I reckon. I've discovered people either become harder or kinder and more understanding as time goes by, and all indications today indicate the latter for Lindsey.

sorry Mike was sleeping, just wondering if you found anything out that I might not know already ie: setlist surprises or any info at all about the new album?
have you heard the Stevie album, and do you have a copy for me?

I saw set list. Nothing unusual, but long. New album not 'til after tour. Sorry so brief. Early here. "24k" is great!
thanks Mike

thanks for sharing, loved reading this impression from someone who seems to be completely unbiased.

it leaked 2 weeks ago

Do you have proof that torrent was legit? Because people put fake labels on downloads all the time. One of our own board members crafted a "full song" for download out of one of the 15 second clips- he simply slowed it down to stretch out the track time.

i never said anything about it on a torrent site

I could have sworn it was you who found a torrent of it, started downloading it, then became suspicious of it's authenticity? :confused:

No, that was me. I actually downloaded the whole thing but never played/deleted it.
Olive mentioned the actual album being available somewhere not in torrent format.

I have been searching the depths of the internet and have yet to come across it :(

I also saw it sold on the streets in NYC this past weekend

Sheesh ! and you didn't buy it.:shrug::lol:

no i did not buy it .. I can get it a copy ( for review) from a few friends if i want it

It does not seem credible that the album has even been given to the press for reviews yet.I have been searching for reviews regularly and so far nothing..and only 6 more days until the vinyl release.

Yeah where are the reviews? Some reviews should be in.

Any new songs in the set (Stevie or FM)?

and how was Watch Chain (still the funky bass-like song)

The critics need a copy of the album to review ..I don't believe they have them yet.

I don't think the real publicity will start until September 7...

So it leaked online 2 weeks ago, nobody else can locate it, you won't tell where it is, and you haven't downloaded it yourself.

Then you saw it for sale on the street in NYC, didn't buy it, didn't post photographic proof of it, or tell anyone where exactly & how much it was.

Yet none of this matters because you can get it through multiple friends who are reviewing it, yet you've chosen not to do that either. Despite the fact that no reviews have surfaced online yet.

Gotcha.

1) I don't buy or download pirated music or movies that takes money out of my Pocket .

2)I can wait , I am not desperate for it , that's just me . it's not life changing .

You're Right.

I know already you made assumptions that were wrong , and it was proven
"I could have sworn it was you who found a torrent of it, started downloading it, then became suspicious of it's authenticity? "

I never said where it was ... but I am assuming you'll are looking and thinking it was on an american / english speaking sites .


Continue to trash me :nod:

This site keeps up with leaked records in just about every musical genre imaginable and they do have a page up for 24 Karat Gold. According to Has It Leaked, there is not a leak for it yet. I have also not received any emails alerting me of a leak that just hasn't been updated on the site.

http://hasitleaked.com/2014/stevie-n...rom-the-vault/

If there were leaks and reviewer hand-outs for 24 Karat I'd think there would be full record reviews somewhere and sites like Has It Leaked would most definitely have info on it. They would link to the reviews and have one of their own up. While I don't search as thoroughly as some members here, I have found nothing. No reviews and definitely no leaks.

In the time I've had Has It Leaked bookmarked I've seen the "hype" rating go up a couple of digits so I take it to mean anticipation is building for this release in more places than just where the die-hard Stevie fans congregate. Seeing that rating go up is a great thing, but it sure would be nice to see it higher than just 7 on that site.

Edit: I wanted to add that Has it Leaked does not share download links for pirated copies of a leaked record.

you should try setting your google alerts to a different language and check non english sites for stuff to lift

I'm not trashing you. You are posting claims you are choosing not to substantiate, and I am questioning their validity. As a moderator, I am tasked with upholding board rules. Trolling is explicitly against board rules. Any one of your claims seem far fetched... but combined, they raise concern. Especially since you are refusing to offer any proof. Everyone has a cell phone these days, and all 21st century cell phones have cameras. Why didn't you snap a photo of the album for sale? It's that easy to prove skeptics wrong vs just arguing with them. It's also worth noting the Ledge moderation team has the ability to see IP addresses for every single post here on the board. If you were to post while in NYC for instance, we have the ability to substantiate or debunk that.

For what it's worth, I'm not looking for the album online, period. Much like you stated, I don't do the whole pirating thing. Plus, I will hopefully receive my LP within a week. I can wait that long.

I will not trash you Olive, however, someone on this site has heard the album. Spill the beans! Inquiring minds want to know!

Should it come on release day?

With the IYD pre-order from Warners, most got their CD's on release day, some got it the day before, and some got it a day or two after. It's one big crap shoot.

I remember they did the same thing for Trouble In Shangri La. I got the album several days after the release date. I was an unhappy camper to say the least. :lol:

I've already decided that when the mail comes next Tuesday, if my record is not on my doorstep, I'm driving to my favorite record shop and buying it there. I don't want to be reading everyone's reviews next Tuesday and be the ONE person who hasn't had a chance to listen. It would be just my luck.:rolleyes:

then ban me for not posting links to pirated music which is not allowed here , am I right ?

I mentioned I saw it and unless any of you read Chinese then what good is it to you ? I wasn't expecting the bat shi!t crazy self entitlement treatment , movies and cds leak all the time and not necessarily in this country but in the ones they are manufactured in , as for not taking a picture it never crossed my mind why would I ? i have nothing to prove I am not seeking attention , other wise I would have ,so everyone would like me and I would be popular on an internet bulletin board (how said would that be ) as for tracking me when I am not home I an usually not on line for that very reason

I saw it on a a site ( not american ) I have not heard it I do not have it I don't pirate music or movies , even if I PRE ORDERED IT

:( this isn't that big of a deal. It's not like someone is posting false track listings. I think we are all on edge because we really like what we have heard and want some type of news. It's time for reviews to becoming in and stuff... And we all know we are on the edge of discovery. To me your fine.

TISL, I went to Tower Records in Cherry Creek and waited in a (very) small line to get my copy of the CD and my free lithograph when the store opened that morning. It is inconceivable to me now that I wouldn't be at work on a Tuesday morning!

For In Your Dreams, after work I drove to the nearest Barnes & Noble.

24 Karat Gold would be my first pre-order for a Stevie album. I really hope the vinyl shows up on Monday.

For The Other Side of the Mirror, I remember I was 16 and had to go camping with my family, and I was aware a new album was being released, and I had heard a radio show around that time which was an interview with Stevie, and much discussion of the making of TOSOTM, with some song previews. We were camping in Marquette, Michigan, and I seem to remember oddly enough that we went to a mall (who goes to the mall when camping?), and I think it was in a Camelot Music store that I bought The Other Side of The Mirror. They had taken the promo posters for the album and cut them into giant letters to make a "S" and an "N" on the wall, which was also plastered with OSOTM album flats, and I thought it was totally the coolest thing I had ever seen. :laugh:

Street Angel was an exercise in frustration. It had already been delayed twice. I was getting my information from a guy who ran a poster shop - Hollywood Poster Company - on Colfax in Denver. Man, that store had every music poster you could ever imagine. Pre-internet, posters of Stevie were like sacred relics. Yes I know there was internet in 1994, but seriously like no one that I know used it at the time, and pretty much AOL *was* the whole internet, lol. Anyway, on the day it was finally released, I went to Media Play because Wax Trax hadn't ordered it. And they only had the cassette. Are you kidding me, I thought, but bought it anyway to listen to on my Walkman. I didn't have it on CD until years and years later in 1999 when I ordered the Japanese version from Amazon. :laugh:
