Default Rock A Little ~ Outtakes, Demos & Alternates

This thread is for posting Rock A Little outtakes, demos, remixes, alternate versions and live performances, in hopes of compiling a resource for fans of the era, as well as perhaps finding upgrades. Many of the recordings we have have been copied and dubbed so many times on cassettes in the Eighties and Nineties, that sound quality is dismal in quite a few cases. However, an upgrade may always be around the corner, as i've learned on this Board several times.

Not all of these are great sound, but maybe we can find some upgrades! And some of these are very much improved sound from what I used to have. I will label the ones from the Masters; there aren't that many from Rock A Little, unfortunately. Here're a few to get this party started:

"Rose Garden"

"Night Gallery"
http://www.mediafire.com/?ag1sk2qn94hqhhe

"Thousand Days"

"Thousand Days" (demo)
http://www.mediafire.com/?amnsnb5u1xr57z1

"The Nightmare" (alternate from the Masters)

"Ooh Ooh Baby"

"I Can't Wait" (Outtake/extra lyrics)

"Joan Of Arc" (demo)

Thanks!

This was a slight upgrade for me. It's a slightly smaller file size that mine, at the same kbps and running time, but plays brighter with more airspace and seems to have slightly less speaker-busting crunchy sounds.

Not a demo or an outtake: the promo 45 radio edit of Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You.

That fade edit is really neat! And thanks for the single as the artwork as well!!!

I also think the "Thousand Days" outtake was an upgrade for me. That is one of my Holy Grail songs, like "Julia" from The Wild Heart (which was posted here last month in fantastic sound finally!). So I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for a better Rock A Little "Thousand Days"!

Likewise. I'm always on the elusive quest to put together a Mirror Mirror album, and of course better sounding tracks make the whole proejct more enjoyable.

"Love Is Like A River"

Remember, if you have a better quality sounding version, you're supposed to post it!

Happy to share and help upgrade. Yes, I can...

"Well I thought that there was a connection...
Well I’m almost there
And I think it’s right...
There you go again
Well I think I meant
'Give me a little time'...

Well she sees no evil, and she speaks no evil
I don’t think that they say anything to anyone
But you…"

Hey guys!
Kinda new around here, so this is my first post.

Thank you so much for starting this up! I kind of lost all my Stevie demos/outtakes throughout the years. But I shall post whatever I still have

Here's a really good acoustic demo of Are you Mine


Are You Mine (Acoustic Demo):
http://www.mediafire.com/?37dd75posc1kzk9


I have a really really HQ version of What Has Rock & Roll Ever Done For You but I've yet to find it... I will post it as soon as I come across it though
