This makes sense in the LB forum.

I totally agree. Like My Heart when it was only a clip. Why not share the whole thing? And the Say You Will "early mixes". Why not just call them dvd-a mixes? Same with Dancing Alone and Staying True. It doesn't have to be something it's not in order for people to want to hear it. That is just my opinion.

Personally, I would buy it just because it would be the "official release". I did the same with SYW and TISL when I already had the tracks before the cds came out. It is only fair to the band.

Still, the idea that someone would waste their time in an effort to pass off a tweaked version of a song as some special alternate version is quite funny to me. At least that Diva Remixes dude passed them off as his own creation and not some special rarity, even if he wanted to sue the piss and **** out of anyone who mislabeled the bastard things.

LoL I can't sue anyone without the copyright info, which in all actuality, isnt worth it because I only do it for fun. It just made me mad that they would use those ****ty remixes from my old days to circulate. I have much better ones that I guess weren't worthy enough to make the cut on the diva remixes album lol. O well. It is a ****ty remix compilation anyway imo. Whoever made the title "diva remixes" should be burned at the stake. I mean...Stevie is wonderful and all but she isn't exactly classified as a Diva...is she? When I think of Diva I think of Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin etc..Stevie is just the goddess of rock and roll
