Revised Alternative Album Titles

[Phil]

On June 26th, Dave referred to Stevie's new album "24K Gold". I don't know if he was abbreviating the title in this instance, but hopefully the "Songs From The Vault" sub-title has been dispensed with...

I also like the idea of Call On Me For Magic, but I doubt that song will make the final cut.

The problem I have with the words "24 Karat Gold" is that it ends up sounding like another greatest hits package. Like 24 songs that went Gold on the charts, which these are not. I feel that the title should reflect her Stevie-ness and reflect how rare they are like "A RARE TYPE OF MAGIC". How's that for a title?

Songs From the Vault fits the bill.

I feel exactly the same about that title. It sounds like the title they would use on a collection of songs repackaged and sold by Time/Warner on a late night TV infomercial.

Using the word Gold implies an oldie/greatest hits collection, which is not appropriate for an album of new material. I'm not much of a fan of album titles that insinuate grandeur; it's sort of like bragging, and perhaps sets the bar too high. It reeks of egomania.

I really liked it when Stevie put out her first compilation album and titled it Time/Space. It was both creative and intriguing. I assume that was her idea.
