No other versions?
 

I'm posting this here since it seems we have a lot more Stevie demos, alt. versions, masters, etc than Mac/LB. Are there any officially released songs for which there are no unofficial versions floating around?

The only song that really stands out for me as having nothing besides the studio version is I Don't Wanna Know.

So first of all, am I wrong? Does anyone have an alt. version or demo of this song? I haven't ever seen anything, but I'm not exactly an expert.

Secondly - can anyone think of another tune where there's nothing else available besides the album version?

Touched By An Angel? :shrug:

Violet & Blue? :shrug:

No...there's a V&B outtake floating around.



Gate and Garden.

Docklands?

I Will Run to You - Gate and Garden - Stand Back - Sable on Blonde? - though she did tape the WH recording sessions or at least some of them

I am asking here not stating, though I cannot remember any demos for these.

btw....


www.geocities.com/the3birdsofrhiannon has the best list of masters, demos, concerts, and released stuff on the web. It's fantastic. I printed it all out and use it for my own collection.

Yeah, I need to review that list again. :nod:

Here's another one:

Apparently there's an instrumental and an accapella version of IDWK. Damned if I knew.

FM songs:
- Landslide
- Crystal (plus all the other BN songs for that matter)
- Love Is Dangerous
- Freedom
- The Second Time
- Illume
- Silver Girl
- Destiny Rules

Solo songs:
- Gate And Garden
- I Will Run To You
- If I Were You
- One More Big Time Rock & Roll Star
- Alice (there is one unlistenable "outtake" which cuts off but it sounds more like a warped album version than a real outtake)
- Real Tears
- Sometimes It's A Bitch
- Desert Angel
- Free Fallin'
- Somebody Stand By Me
- Every Day
- Too Far From Texas
- It's Only Love
- Touched By An Angel

This is a pretty good list of songs without alternates/outtakes.

Off the top of my head the only note I'd make here would be that there are two versions of "One More Big Time Rock & Roll Star" circulating:

B-side which runs 4:49
Enchanted version: 4:23

I think the instrumental and acapella versions of "I Don't Wanna Know" might be the two versions that appear on the bootleg "Staying True" (2:32 & 3:03 respectively).

I have an outtake/alt mp3 to Violet and Blue...I can post it on my site this weekend if you want! :D

Sable on Blonde I do believe I have an alt somewhere...
Stand Back I think I may have a demo but I will have to check

There are outtakes of these.

There is an alt/demo of Stand Back...I have one...will post this wkd as well as Violet and Blue (stand back demo sounds kinda like the album but there's a couple parts you will tell where it is different)

I also have a nightbird (full end lyric) version but I dont think anyone mentioned that on here...

My cassette of "Wild Heart Remixes" from back before the MP3 days has:

The Wild Heart
If Anyone Falls
Gate & Garden
Enchanted
Nightbird
Stand Back
I Will Run to You
Sable on Blonde
Beauty & the Beast
