If You Ever Did Believe demo (there may be more than one, but I've only heard one, so...)

Probably others, but I don't remember what all I had. I seem to remember some other piano demos from the Bella Donna sessions.

No Light (POTU Piano Demo): http://download.yousendit.com/36DBF5385EE91FC8

The Tower (Goodbye Baby Piano Demo): http://download.yousendit.com/4F40FE383DF5C0F1

I think you're right about the Smile at You demos - the ones I have labeled as Rumours are most likely Tusk outtakes.

And here is the Bella Donna zip file - sorry everyone, I didn't have time to do these individually or clean up the file tags: http://www.sendspace.com/file/im38gd

I've attached a screenncap of the zip contents. Highlights are the Bella Donna Alt Version, the Blue Lamp/It's Not A Dream keyboard demo, and the Outside the Rain "Champagne Alt" with the Heartbreakers - I can't remember if I made up the "Champagne" name or if it came that way, but at the beginning of the take you can just make out Stevie saying "Can I have another glass of champagne, somebody, please???" Oh - and I just noticed the Tusk Mac outtake of Gypsy is mistakenly in there. Sheesh - will I ever get all these things organized?

the stuff I have (ie-the list I sent you via PM), sometimes I forget I even have something unless I find it

Oh My Goodness!! I can't thank you enough! I wish I could give you something in return, but I'm afraid there isn't any songs that you don't have

What I want to know is, when were these various demos recorded? Some of them I know, but most of them I don't and can't really figure it out. Has anyone bothered to categorize?

Yeah, David knows. If you can get in touch with him...

I think most of them were done in Coketember of '82....a few in Cokuary of '76...


that just seemed way more funny than the real answer. Plus, I don't know the real answer, anyways. Might as well amuse us while we wait for someone who knows.

Anyone know for sure?

No but the lyrics are so him. So who knows?

Didn't Sara Rhiannon's site have all that info? Whatever happened to her, anyway? Was she sold into white slavery or something? She used to post here, right?

She didn't write that song but yeah. It's unusual to hear the word laundromat in a song.

Have to say "Are You Mine" is f*king gorgeous....why it isn't on a Stevie album is beyond me.

Why she never did a duet with Billy Burnette is beyond me.

Don't know but I miss that site. What a loss.

Absolutely lovely.

I'm having a very strong reaction to these songs. There are a few clunkers but overall there is a ton of beauty and potential here. Rick Rubin could come in and take 12 of these songs and create a Grammy-award winning album and Stevie could end her career on the highest note.

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.

I'm glad you're enjoying them. "Treasure chest" is the perfect description - and is exactly the reason why so many fans (who've heard all these songs) freak the F out when we hear Stevie say things like "why should I record a new album?"

And thanks for the nice comments, everyone. This was fun. My hard drive just needs a little rest, and then I'll post some more. We still have a few solo albums and a buttload of Mac demos and alternates to get through!

I used to have very vivid dreams of going to a "local" record store and finding all these demo albums similar to "Uncirculated Rumours" (which, I have) and "Almanac" - but, undiscovered with tons of demos on them. When I actually started finding other demos online it was really weird- like the dream came true.

I have always been from the camp that Stevie is missing opportunities to release this material. She could completely pull off "Julia", "The Dealer", "China Doll", and on, and on- with one or two great albums worth of product.

Stevie is laaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyy. Big time.

Chuckie, you're so sweet for doing all of this. I have most of these, but I loved hearing "Knocking On Doors".

You are a doll!
