"In Your Dreams" info spoiler...
 
Okay well I'm assuming anyone who wants to hear the album by now has done so, therefore, here are some other details of possible interest:

Album credited as being produced by Dave Stewart & Glen Ballard except:
For What It's Worth: Mike Campbell; Dave & Glen
Cheaper Than Free: Dave & Mike Bradford

Album mixed by Chris Lord-Alge

The songwriting credits are as follows:

Secret Love (Stevie)
For What It's Worth (Words: Stevie; Music: Mike Campbell)
In Your Dreams (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
Wide Sargasso Sea (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
New Orleans (Words: Stevie; Music: Neale Heywood)
Moonlight (Stevie)
Annabel Lee (Music: Stevie; Words adapted from the Edgar Allan Poe poem "Annabel Lee"; Interlude Waddy Wachtel)
Soldier's Angel (Stevie)
Everybody Loves You (Words: Stevie & Dave; Music: Dave)
Ghosts Are Gone (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
You May Be The One (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
Italian Summer (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
Cheaper Than Free (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)

Mick is credited as one of four drummers, but songs are not specified.
Dave is credited as the creative director and one of the photographers.
Lindsey and Steve Real (vocal coach) both score thank you's.

Album is dedicated to Sara ("my sweet girl, not a day goes by that I don't think about you... S.N.)

There are eight shots of Stevie on her own in the booklet, including the front cover, with four of them in the centre pages, plus two with the girls. There are also six small "action" shots of Stevie in the bottom right-hand corner of successive pages that are in motion when flicked through. There is a great photo of Stevie with Dave on the back cover. Stevie is featured on the actual disc holding the owl from the sizzle reel. Stevie looks great in most of the shots, but there are a couple of dodgy ones that I would have omitted. There are no photos of the studio or recording process which surprised me. I thought at least the "lucky" pic of Stevie and Dave placed on the console throughout the making of the album would have been included.

That's all I can think of for now...

Sweet and sad. I hope Stevie's made some peace with her actions, even as she's clearly very aware of the consequences.

Thanks for the info--dying to see the pics. Soon enough...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking as well :distress:

I'm a little surprised by the credit for "Italian Summer"....I had the impression that that was a Stevie-only song from her previous comments about when she wrote it. Not that it matters, clearly Nicks/Stewarts is a songwriting duo to be reckoned with.

Phil 04-27-2011 11:50 PM

I'm not sure which Sara the dedication is in respect of, but there is a small photo of a blonde, pale woman?
I just took a couple of crappy shots with my mobile, but I can't seem to upload them - if anyone can help me with this, I'll post them.

Phil 04-27-2011 11:59 PM

Yes I was surprised that "Italian Summer" was a co-composition, but I was more shocked that Stevie wrote the lyrics to "Cheaper Than Free" on her own as I thought she had done this in conjunction with Dave.
I was pleased that Edgar Allan Poe was given his due, but I don't know how she couldn't have credited him!

You'd need to first upload them to a hosting site like photobucket:)

Phil 04-28-2011 12:15 AM

Well I have the shots on my computer and was able to select them as jpeg files and then upload them here, but they didn't appear in my post so I don't really know what else to do. Sorry for my ignorance.

Two other things:
1) The exact running time of the cd is 64:45 so with the inclusion of the bonus track "My Heart", it should be pretty close to 70 minutes.
2) There is also a photo of Stevie with the white horse on the inlay for the cd.

Oh and I think FM77 must have been telling the truth because of that line in "You May Be The One" where she sings "I used to think you were an angel". FM77 was adamant about that fact and it has rung true.

Hmm, I have to say, I'd be a little surprised if it was. I wouldn't put it past Stevie to have a favorite aborted baby :eek:, but it would be pretty ****ty to only give a shout out to one. Seriously voting either the dog or Fleetwood.

Ha--fair enough. I think it's possible that one baby would be more significant than another, though, depending on the father, the time in her life, and how far along the pregnancy went. If Don Henley was right about the song and Stevie had assigned a name to the fetus, that termination might have been far more significant to her than, say, a mistake baby with a one-night stand that she terminated immediately. Nor would it shock me if she's sort of blended all four in her head into one daughter.

I think if she thought of Sara Fleetwood every day, she could probably pick up the phone, no? Totally forgot she ahd a dog named Sara, though--that seems like something Stevie actually would do:laugh:

I could definitely see this being the case.

I'm actually pretty solidly team "It's the dog." That Sara passed away not too long ago, as well. Like, what, three years ago?
