Rock A Little ~ Outtakes, Demos & Alternates

[SaidSomething]

I didn't mean to be so blue...life is what you make it. What you focus on grows...and I've been rolling in luxury and then didn't have a couple buck for smokes...but, I have been blessed and loved without condition...and I also love without fear. With age comes wisdom and I realize all along...I've been the richest guy in the world.

So hit it...

Thank you for your words you guys...I'm smiling.


My request is what I didn't actually post.

Does any one have the Sanctuary compilation and Silver Springs compilation?

Hmm... Were they compilations of different versions of those songs? I do have the songs themselves, but no compilations listes as such

"It's Not A Dream"

The sound is not great, but definitely worth having for Stevie historical purposes:

"Talk To Me" - Demo

I'm working on a darker Rock A Little, centered around "Night Gallery", which is similar to the song "Rock A Little" for me. Let me work on it a little more...

That sounds like it'd be a very cool cd. I like Night Gallery a lot. Rockabye Baby has sort of a dark feel too. And Rock a Little I LOVE.

I've always wanted to make my own versions of OSOTM which I'd change to Mirror Mirror. And do my own Street Angel called Maybe Love. But I don't have very good sound quality demos. I should download some of these on this thread.

"Mirror, Mirror" 5 - B-Side version

Remember, although released in 1994 as the b-side to the US cassette single of "Blue Denim", this is a 1984 recording from Rock A Little, not re-recorded for Street Angel.

Not great quality, but all of these feature very cool alternate vocals by Stevie:

"Sister Honey" - Outtake (cuts)

This version sounds pretty crappy, doesn't it?

[KarmaContestant]

^^^ Thanks, Mike. Looking forward to those Nightmare outtakes, and Sister Honey as well.

I can't take all the credit for this, as I found someone on here a few years ago who had almost the exact same playlist. I just put the 'Juliet' outtake/demo (?) on it.

Talk to Me (Time/Life Remix)
Lady from the Mountains

Ok yes now that I've listened to it I have definitely heard it before but I just didn't recognize that title. Maybe I have it saved under something else or it just never stood out. It's rare though that there is a demo I don't recognize right off the bat.

[mikebise]

Yeah, I don't see a lot of people posting "It's Not A Dream" a lot, or any other versions, aside from the keyboard/drum machine demo that's with "Blue Lamp".

Yeah, this is true! Thank you so much for posting all of these demos/outtakes... I don't think I had heard this version of "It's Not A Dream" before either. You'll be glad to know it's definitely a lossless source too!

I have a couple of tracks I plan on sharing here too... that is if mediafire will let me upload it. For some reason over the last couple weeks, most of the time my uploads stall and then fail. The upload speed starts good, then it starts fluctuating, dropping and then stalling altogether... Is anyone else having this problem? I've tried disabling my browser plug-ins and temporarily disabling my anti-virus program (which makes me very uncomfortable), but nothing seems to make it any better.
