:wavey:

Is this from the Street Angel Master?

yes, it is.. A+ quality, baby ;)

This version is sure a lot better than what ended whacked up on the final album version. Thanks for this!

Yes and it's got mandolins on it. :blob2: Why oh why wasn't this version on the record?
Thnaks for posting. :wavey:

Those mandolins smack of REM's Losing My Religion, which was released a few years before.

I know. It's so much happier sounding.

Ooh, it's much better than the album version. Thanks, Brian!

I never thought about it but you're right. It also reminds me of Sleeping Angel. :)

I think she did not like her vocal, which is far rawer than the released one.

But, the music is far better in the demo and IMO.

When REM came out with those - it was soooo left field. I remember an interview with Michael Stipe at the time where he said it was a large risk the record comp. did not want to take because how many mandolins were on the radio in 1991 :laugh:

For sure. Do all the masters of Street Angel sound this good? I love the music and her vocals on this song. Wondering if it's worth finding the complete Street Angel Masters CD. Do you know where it may be posted?

THIS is the version I always listen to and that I'm always talkin' about! I'm pretty sure this is the original version of the song, meaning this is the cut that was produced by Glyn Johns with plans of it being on the record. But after all the drama between Stevie and Glyn, Stevie went back, as we all know, and re recorded some of the albums tracks, and also remixed some of it as well. Why didn't she just leave it alone? You're guess is as good as mine! :p

P.S. The guitar solo is worth the listen, trust me! LOVE IT!!!

I have the CD. I can upload it to yousendit if you want mp3's. Otherwise I don't have anyplace else to post it.
I like the stripped down Docklands and ethereal opening to Greta on this CD. It also has God's Garden, Inspiration and the tropical version of If You Were My Love.

I wondered that as well. In an interview at the time, La Nicks was lamenting that the Glyn Johns stuff did not have enough guitar on them and no Waddy, which she said she should have known was a problem. Then, after, she added Waddy on them. So, I wonder if this heavy guitar is Waddy added later. I guess we will never know.

As an aside, I always wondered if someone threatened a law suit when they were putting the final tracks on.
