I think it's great that we have two completed versions of Mirror Mirror, and I agree with Jondalar that the better (rawer) version was released.

Actually, it was more of a Stevie Nicks geek-out moment.

And I agree, the RAL "Mirror, Mirror" outtake IS better than the Street Angel version that we now have, mostly because it rocks more & of course Stevies on fire vocal performance. But it also sounds incomplete. The b-side released RAL track has no backing vocals at all. Also the ending trails off abruptly, one second Stevie's singing, "You must know" He says, "No, not really" and then it just hangs there, while the instrumental track goes on almost another minute. In my opinion the RAL released version of "Mirror, Mirror" was not fully fleshed out or completed. It could be that's as far as they took it before deciding to just shelve it.
