Bella Donna and The Wild Heart remastered and reissued, due out November 4th
 

http://theseconddisc.com/2016/10/04/...eart-november/

Stevie Nicks is launching her 24 Karat Gold tour later month, named for her acclaimed 2014 studio album consisting of new recordings of previously unheard compositions. Now, Nicks is looking back once more with two more 24-karat gold Deluxe Editions of her first two solo albums, Bella Donna and The Wild Heart. Both releases arrive from Rhino on November 4, along with remastered, stand-alone editions of the original albums on LP, CD and DD.

1981’s solo debut Bella Donna will be released as a 3-CD set. Produced by Jimmy Iovine, the album yielded such immortal Nicks tracks as “Edge of Seventeen” and two duets: “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and “Leather and Lace” with Don Henley. Disc Two of the upcoming set has nine previously unreleased cuts (including alternate versions of “Edge of Seventeen,” “Leather and Lace,” and the title song) plus Nicks’ soundtrack performances of “Blue Lamp” from Heavy Metal and “Sleeping Angel” from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The third disc premieres a 1981 concert featuring selections from Bella Donna alongside Fleetwood Mac favorites “Sara” and “Rhiannon.”

stevie-nicks-the-wild-heartFollowing the 1982 release of Fleetwood Mac’s Mirage (recently reissued across multiple formats by Rhino – read our review here!), Nicks returned to her solo career with 1983’s The Wild Heart. The double-platinum smash is being reissued as a 2-CD set. It included such favorites as “Stand Back,” “Nightbird” and “I Will Run To You,” which reunited the artist with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The 9-track bonus disc has seven previously unreleased cuts including demos and outtakes, plus the “Stand Back” B-side “Garbo” and Nicks’ recording of “Violet and Blue” from the Against All Odds soundtrack.

“I’ve had so much fun reliving the making of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart while working on the liner notes and listening to all of the alternate versions and demo takes,” Nicks commented in the original press release. “The liner notes are so much more than liner notes. They are like a little novel. I tried to make whoever reads this feel like they were there. I think…I succeeded….”

These two highly-anticipated reissues arrive from Rhino on November 4. In the meantime, Stevie kicks off her 24-Karat Gold tour (on which she’ll be joined by The Pretenders) on October 25 in Phoenix. It wraps December 18 at The Forum in Los Angeles!

Holy crap! how exciting is this? Especially Disc 2 of bonus songs from The Wild Heart.

About time! And finally - it's not a fan-perpetuated prank!

This totally made my day!!! :]

Hopefully it's not too late for them to sneak in "Julia" somewhere... :cool:

I know what is on my Christmas list now. :) Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

About Time!

What?!!! Oh my freaking God! I can't believe this is happening… And coming out in less than a month! "Sorcerer" as a outtake from the "wild heart"? The HBO concert in audio form? Kind of disappointed that they didn't include the whole show… But still, beggars can't be choosers! This is too much! I'm so excited! And finally a studio version of "Golden braid"! I'm dying!

Actually it is the whole show, it's just that it's only the audio.
What I'm disappointed about is the lack of a third live disc for The Wild Heart!

Great news.I seen that article earlier this morning on my Google Stevie news section.

Speechless! :shocked: Stevie is really working with a sense of urgency these days. Good for her.

No. They've omitted "Blue Lamp" and "Think About It", which were also performed that night. :( So it's NOT the whole show.

I'm most curious about the Alternate version of "Sleeping Angel", the unreleased version of "If You Were My Love" (I'm not sure I've heard any complete studio versions from the Bella Donna sessions), "I Sing For The Things" (wondering if it's what we usually call the upbeat RAL outtake?), Alternate version of "SABLE ON BLONDE" (freaking OUT about that one!), "Dial The Number", "Wild Heart" session (by description, seems like that one might be an incomplete take), and UBER curious about "Sorcerer"!!! Could it be the "Streets Of Fire" version with Marilyn? Or the same version with Stevie's lead vocal? Or something completely different altogether???

GAH!!!!! I'm jumping up and down! FINALLY! I never thought we'd ever see something like this! :]:]:]

I'm so glad they finally got around to doing this. The omission of Julia isn't a complete surprise. Stevie probably still plans on doing something with it. I hope she does.

It sort of makes sense that "Sorcerer" was recorded for inclusion on The Wild Heart. Marilyn Martin recording it seems sort of random, unless Stevie tried it and either wasn't satisfied with it, Jimmy Iovine wasn't, or it just didn't fit on the album, and then they decided to let Marilyn record it.

Are this for real? No listing on Amazon or on the official site. This looks awesome but how come we can't even pre-order it yet with less than a month to go?

It's true, I didn't see that.

However I see that they deemed Angel, Leather And Lace, Bella Donna and How Still My Love as "previously unreleased". It seems it's a miscellaneous of various outtakes from different gigs, maybe we're getting something unexpected.

YESSSSS!!!!!!:] :thumbsup:

This is so awesome! I can't wait!!

Its not the whole show. The set list isn't in order and a few tracks are missing. It's the songs that were recorded and mixed for the radio broadcast. Hopefully it's from the original masters rather than the muffled recordings we already have from the broadcast

As I've already said to Sorcerer999 that already pointed it out to me, Yes I didn't see that they weren't 16 tracks.
And since Angel, Leather And Lace, Bella Donna and How Still My Love are marked as "previously unreleased" probably it's a miscellaneous of various outtakes from different gigs like they did for the Tusk live disc.

I would LOVE THAT!!! Even though she only did, what? 11? 12 shows? I would love it if each song were the "best of the best" from different gigs on that tour instead of just an expanded HBO show. But if it is indeed just that, like the radio broadcast, I'll be happy as well...as long as it sounds remastered and crisp! :nod:

Still kind of bummed about the lack of inclusion regarding "Think About It" and "Blue Lamp" though. I have the whole show as a (fairly good sound quality) audience recording of that night. "Think About It" was plagued with a bad "mic screech" at the very beginning so maybe that's why it's not included...but "Blue Lamp" live was absolutely sublime!

I can't see her doing a "best of" each night when the masters are already available for the LA show.

I had that bootleg too before my computer crashed, it was very good sound.
A miscellaneous of songs would fit better with the songs that aren't in setlist order and the setlist not being full.
Leather And Lace from the HBO night has already been released in the Enchanted or Crystal Vision boxset, I don't remember, and Stevie said in the commentary that the show was recorded in full.

Yet for the Tusk deluxe they did a best of each night when the masters of several shows were available in full.

Oh wow
This is amazing news

That happens sometimes with Rhino. They will send out press releases before Amazon or other retail sites put up links for pre-ordering.

Popular music sites like Ultimateclassicrock.com and radio.com are already advertising press releases...so I doubt this is a hoax. And THANK GOD! This was a long time coming!

Here's hoping these releases will be successful enough for Rhino to warrant a deluxe release of "Rock A Little" (imagine the outtakes on THAT one) and (maybe perhaps) TOSOTM?

Neither. The HBO special of "Leather and Lace" hasn't ever been commercially released on it's own. It was used for the video of the song, but the recording hasn't been released. The video isn't on the CV DVD either.

Only "Edge of Seventeen" and "Gold & Braid" have been released, Edge first as a b-side and "Gold & Braid" on the Enchanted boxset.

Yes, I meant the video.

For some reason, she didn't include the L&L video on CV and also didn't include the original Eo17 video, just the edited live performance.

http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/...pssbnjatim.jpg

HBO "Leather & Lace" was on the VHS compilation...

I'm kind of happy that the original video for EO17 wasn't included on the Cystal Visions DVD. It looks like Chris Nicks shot and edited it. It's also super cheesy with the "doll" and the "beach" scenes. Ugh!

As fas as I'm aware, the "Leather & Lace" live video (cut from the HBO special) was only commercially available on the "I Can't Wait" VHS. :shrug:

I've searched because I'm sure I used to own a hq copy of that shot that surely came from a DVD:

The live performance of "Leather And Lace" was, however, used as a video promo for the single release (even though it was a solo version and did not feature Don Henley), and did surface on the 1986 VHS collection I Can't Wait, which featured six of Nicks' promo-clips between 1981 and 1985. These six promos were released on DVD as a special feature to the Australian issue of Fleetwood Mac – Mirage Tour in 2007.

P.S. Yes, Sorcerer999, the original EO17 video was atrocious.

LOL!! Yeh, it's not a great video, but it would've been nice to have it included. I bet she doesn't even remember it.

I think you're right, the I Can't Wait video release is the only place L&L has been released as a video. The audio is available on the budget White Wing Dove live CD, but that's a poor recording of the same radio broadcast. I'm hoping that the new release is on the same quality as the Enchanted tracks.

So excited for this! Especially the bonus material. While there's not as much for WH, can you imagine how many discs a Rock a Little deluxe could fill?

I just wonder why she and the record company waited so long. The prime time to issue these would have been during the remaster craze of the late 90s to mid-2000s, when people were still in the habit of buying music.

But I'm not complaining! Keep 'em comin

so ridiciously excited
and that this is released on my biiiiirday
it is exceptionally excellent.


now ... we need a RAL rerelease with literally EVERY outtake of everything EVER :thumbsup:


ETA: holy siiiiiiht i just saw that Dial the Number was there ... **screaming**

Along with the uncirculated demos and outtakes that we haven't heard, I think I'm most excited by this...

“The liner notes are so much more than liner notes. They are like a little novel. I tried to make whoever reads this feel like they were there. I think I succeeded.”

:thumbsup::nod:

Hopefully, she includes more previously uncirculated pictures from various photoshoots as well.

New pictures and new stories that go along with unheard older material is one of the major reasons I was obsessed with "Enchanted" when it was released...and the MAIN reason my obsession with this woman reached the levels that it did. HAha!

These reissues are exciting but I'm perplexed by the omission of "Julia" and some other unreleased recordings from these sessions. I can only imagine these are being considered for the next solo or FM album. Not including "Think About Me" and "Blue Lamp" on the live disc is a major disappointment. I know it's unrealistic of me but I would have loved these albums to get the 'super deluxe treatment' that Rumours, Tusk and Mirage have had bestowed upon them.
I hope and I pray that Rock A Little gets a mammoth deluxe edition that includes the superior version of "She Loves Him Still" among so many other superb compositions from this period.

Wait...this is October... so this CAN"T be April Fools?!

OMG. My brain is gonna explode....

Wow Mirage and now this..Christmas has come early:blob2:

YESSSSSSS!!!!!

I've been screaming for this to happen for AGES! Bella Donna is my favorite FM-related album and The Wild Heart is really great too, and I've always dreamed they'd get remastered someday, hopefully as deluxe editions, and it finally came true! I can't believe it! I'm so happy!! Am I using too many exclamation points?!? Probably!
I kinda wish the whole White Wing Dove show would come as an accompanying DVD instead of the audio, but who am I to complain? Don't ever look a gift horse in the mouth!

Now, the question is, will we ever see deluxe editions for Rock a Little and OSOTM (preferably RAL as it's a far better album)? Well, since I was never sure when we'd get deluxe remasters of BD and TWH (and Mirage), maybe someday!

I agree with you on the wealth of outtakes circulating that could have made its way on these deluxe sets. A shame there are only nine bonus tracks per album...but here's my two cents on why I think that is the case...

Stevie and her camp are well aware of all the bootlegs that we, as fanatics, have collected over the past few decades. I feel like she specifically chose songs that she not only loves, but that she (or Karen, or whoever trolls the internet for her) THINKS we don't have. Examples - the alternate Sable on Blonde, the unreleased Wild Heart version of Sorcerer, alternate Sleeping Angel, an unreleased Wild Heart version of I Sing For The Things, an unreleased studio version of IYWML from the Bella Donna sessions, etc...

I've been collecting Stevie Nicks bootlegs FOREVER but have never seen these in circulation. Perhaps that's why we're only getting nine new tracks per album? Because they know what has been circulated and what HASN'T been circulated? I dunno. And I agree that I think she's saving "Julia" for "Songs From The Vault" Part 2, as she's already mentioned it twice already.

The only thing I'm bummed about is the Bella Donna live show not being a "full" concert. They omit "Blue Lamp" and "Think About It". :( But like I said, beggars can't be chosers. I'm just glad they're FINALLY doing something like this!

Again, I'm willing to bet everything else included on the bonus discs are things we've never heard...or maybe things we THINK we've heard, but haven't. Sorry to rant and geek out! LOL! Just my opinion.
