Poll: How do you like the title, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault?

I think it's excellent.

I had a feeling that 24 karat gold might be in the album title after she referred to the songs as that in the earlier interview.I think that it works for album ..I hope the song itself turns out well.As I recall it has some good lyrics but not much of a melody..maybe Dave can help with that,.

[Jondalar]

Although I love the title, it would also be neat for her name it Maker of Birds or something funky like that.

The title somewhat irks me- it makes the album sound like a standards or greatest hits compilation, which it isn't. The title is very fitting, but will the casual fan avoid it because it sounds like something it isn't?

No. Everyone will know what it is.

I voted excellent because of the double-entendre, a general meaning for casual fans and a nod to what hardcore fans actually know it to mean.

i love it
because she's always talking about pulling songs out of the Vault
and real, old, long time fans will appreciate it
coz we um ... have all those Vaulted songs

[Macfanforever]

I like it.Its a great title .She doing this for us.Don't you know.

Thank you Stevie...................

Well, I might have just called it 24 Karat Gold and left out the subtitle.

I mean, it's great for her to tell focused fans that she's doing the long-wanted demos, but for casual listeners, I think it might turn them off. They'll assume the tunes are "old" and not consider the album.

Agree with Michele's comment... I'd be OK with the title if "Songs from the vault" was left off... it's totally unnecessary IMO and can only detract casual listeners. Hardcore fans are going to buy the album even if it's called "Cat Piss" or "Unmarked Grave" or something equally absurd, so the vault aspect doesn't help.

I think it's an excellent title. If casual fans think of it as a retrospective that can be a good thing considering they are only interested in greatest hits albums from classic rockers.

[On Ice]

Love the title! Great song and that's exactly what these songs are, they're treasures and are a testament to her once prolific songwriting output. She knows how much her fans want this and I think she will really deliver the goods. Can't wait to hear it. Thank you Stevie!

[wheart]

I would have preferred simply" 24 karat gold" or "24 karat gold songs". I don't like the "songs from the vault" bit.

[Christopher]

I agree that "24 Karat Gold" would suffice. Maybe she'll drop "Songs from the Vault"...or not, since raiding "You Tube" for lost demos was not only the genesis for this project, but it will also be the big talking point in promotional interviews. It will be Stevies re-telling of the "Without You" story, but on steroids! I think it's brillinat that she is doing a record with all old demos from her songwriting wonder years. This is the record fans have been clamouring about for decades. "Just raid your vaults"
