RAL recording sessions
 

I know little about these sessions, other than the pics in the Enchanted book and the demos...It would be fun., don't you think, to make an approximate timeline of when each son was done, because based on Mirror Mirror alone, there have to have been many many for each song. If anyone has any info they would like to contribute that would be fabulous!

This would be interesting to have for all the sessions for all albums. Unfortunately, I don't think fans can put all the pieces together based on the scant data they have. We would need someone with a thorough set of records from all the studios used.

thats too bad...it would be so cool! How many versions of Mirror Mirror did they do? or are out there?

There are 4 versions..look under MIRROR MIRROR Thread.
They are there....:thumbsup:

It was all just one big coke fest...:lol:

Theres more than 4 I think. I have 5 and one is labelled 'Outtake 6'

Yes, this is right. There are four demos, the released version with the ending verse, a boot copy of the released version without the ending verse, and then "outtake 6" which is very different from the others.
