So...not being familiar with FM bootlegs, where could a person find these songs? Are they available online? And what other outtakes or demos from the MIRAGE sessions are known?
Of course, should these rumors of a MIRAGE remaster with bonus tracks come true, I would gladly buy the official version.
I've always thought that MIRAGE was underrated. I was listening to "Hold Me" the other day, and it really is a fantastic pop song. The two-part harmony on the verses by Christine and Lindsey is sublime, and the chorus has a great Brian Wilson-inspired vocal arrangement [far from Christine's chorus on the demo I've heard on YouTube].
Thanks,
