New Stevie Nicks CD!!

Bandon · #1 11-02-2005, 07:11 PM

According to a new article from the Queensland Newspaper posted on the Nicksfix:

"So I should remember to tell you that there's a Best Of retrospective coming out to tie-in with the tour. But there won't be any new tracks. When I came off the road six weeks ago, I just didn't have the time to do some new recording. And anyway, I didn't have any new material until I started writing this song about New Orleans."

She says she hasn't written a new song in 18 months. Too bad there will be no new tunes on the CD.

I don't see any point in Greatest Hits - unless it's solely for those who never buy a Stevie CD otherwise.... such a waste of money for those who are already fans, and have everything of hers..... At the very least, make a compilation of different versions of well known songs, or put on live versions, something worth buying!!

I totally agree! She has tons of demos to choose from as well.

"Best Of" doesn't necessarily mean "Greatest Hits". Fleetwood's Best Of included songs like "World Turning", "Storms", and "What Makes You Think You're The one". IT was a much better and complete collection than their Greatest Hits package, but more concise than their boxed set. I think a Best Of from Stevie isn't necessarily something to turn your nose up at.

Maybe its just an Austrailian release

why would she release it here but promote it in Austrailia. Now the DVD on the other hand sound GREAT>

hmm sounds good to me.... to add to:

Timespace
Enchanted
The devine (or something like that)

ANOTHER best of.... sigh....

But we all know we will buy it!

Really? Even when it has nothing new on it and is essentially just a repackage of what we already have on her solo albums, Timespace, and the Enchanted boxed set? My nose is quite upturned at this moment, I must admit.

Ah, you're just taken over from where Stevie left off.

I said not necessarily. I can understand where the diehard fans would be somewhat bummed by not having anything new released on the Best Of album. But there are people out there, believe it or not, who don't own Timespace or Enchanted and may want to get a record like this from Stevie. I'll call it a Greatest Hits embellishment. They may be interested in her as an artist and want a little more than just the everyday hits they've heard on the radio over the years, but not really wanting an anthology type of record. As for me, I'll buy the Best Of collection if it just has a few more nipple shots of her included.

I'm totally pissed about no new material. Stevie, if you are reading this...

I want a new album and I want it yesterday!!!!!!

This is insane. I can't listen to Edge of Seventeen for the rest of my life. I just want some new material to listen to. It is not a big request. She just needs to record the demos that we have already heard. She has enough material where she could release 3 CDs and not even have to write one new song at this point. She has dozens of demos lying around. It makes me sad that she has basically given up recording it sounds like.

Psssst - rule one a in Music Advertising -
Start slowly leaking some rumors. . . .
Also, get yourself a Taku Hirano and start leaking stuff
on his website. . . . That's next, I bet

I agree with you on everything except your last sentence. I would really love to see her make some new stuff...an acoustic album...a jazz album...anything.

But, who am I kidding, I'm totally getting the "best of" whatever it is...

Damn. Just think of how Billie Holiday fans feel.

Janis_no1 · #14 11-02-2005, 11:20 PM

Hmmm to be honest i think she has lost enthusiasm. he drive for "new" must be running out.

Things no longer...
New clothes....
New music...
New arrangements.... she used to always change they way she sung songs, lyrics etc

She seems as though over the last few years that age has caught up a little. At the concerts for the majority of the SYW tour she had to push it to show a little involvement and passion...

She's getting older too... and her best friends are too which wouldn't help our plight
