Huge missed opportunity for Stevie. I know you've all discussed this to death, but this is all new to me. I had no idea she had this treasure chest.

She has more brilliant
unreleased songs than most artists have released songs. I sometimes wonder if she's forgotten even writing some of these.
Like you said, Stevie could easily release an entire album, consisting of newly-recorded "vaulted songs."
Ironic thing though -- there were actually fans (*cough*) who complained about the "30-year old songs" on 'Trouble In Shangri-La' and 'Say You Will.'
Guess there truly is just no pleasing everyone.
