Demos that deserve to be recorded now

mezzoforte · #1 10-16-2011, 05:41 PM

On Stevie's or Fleetwood Mac's next album, which of Stevie's old demos would you like to see released?
Not necessarily your favorite demos. I love "Blue Water," for example, but I don't think she could top the original piano version. And while it just slays me that "Space Needle" didn't make it onto TISL, I feel like that's the album it belongs to.

My pics would be "Forsaken Love" and "If You Were My Love."

What about all of you?

Grace. You could not have picked two better songs.

Seriously, just imagine what those two would sound like with her current voice. I would ****ing die.

I'm still holding out for Have No Heart and Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc produced in the same way as Soldier's Angel was for IYD could be quite incredible.

I agree about "if You Were My Love" (must be a Fleetwood Mac Song) and my second vote would be for "The Dealer", just think it's a fun tune with a great chorus.

Absolutely have to have The Dealer/Mistress Of My Fate

Some of the finished and almost finished tunes should be released "as is" and not tinkered with, ie Julia, there have to be enough great versions to put the song on some kind of cd. Same with the "lost" Street Angel, I think is tucked away some where.

I agree with "If You Were My Love" and "The Dealer". I think IYWML is her best unreleased song at this point. It's already a classic to me so I would love her to officially record it.

I'd also be interested to hear "The Forest of the Black Roses" or "The Birds of Rhiannon".

Strangely, the other day I was thinking about how it was such a shame Stevie didn't record more songs in 1998. Crystal and If You Ever Did Believe are amazing and I wish we could have captured more of Stevie during that time period. I then thought, wouldn't it have been awesome had she added a 4th disc to Enchanted and it would be current recordings of old demos? I think it would have been a perfect way for her to fully realize some of these songs without having people complain about her new album not being new songs. Anywho, my picks would have to be:

If You Were My Love
Mable Normand
City of Hope
Joan of Arc
The Forest of the Black Roses
Christian
China Doll

"The Dealer" for sure. I wonder what she could do with "She Still Loves Him", "All the Beautiful Worlds", "Baby Doll", "Love and War", and "Sanctuary" in her current voice. Should BN ever do a tour or even an album I'd love to hear "Farewell Failure" if she would even attempt those long notes. I just don't think she could match "China Doll" today.

China Doll, The Dealer, and Forsaken Love would be my bets.

Agreed 100%!!!

Unfortunately we will never see it unless Stevie decides to admit the 80's actually did happen...

My other choices would be "If You Were My Love" and "Beautiful Ghost" (another long shot).
