Hi there,
Just wondering,
I seem to have read somewhere (was it Mick's biography?) that Sara was about Sara Recor (the later Mrs. Fleetwood) who was a friend of Stevie's and who also sings on the cleaning lady demo version. I think this version is great, however it's presumably not the original version of the song. I read somewhere that it was originally about 16 (!) minutes long!! They edited out several verses to fit the song in 6.26. Too short if you ask me, the fading is too early, I would have loved to hear a proper ending with Stevie rambling on and on!! To me, it's the most haunting song she has ever recorded and I hope they will resurrect it for the upcoming tour and play it often!
I really hope Ken Caillat will put the original 16 minute version of Sara on the new Tusk DVD/Audio he is preparing as well as the Tusk Tour Documentary, which would be greatly appreciated!!
