Looking for timeframe of various demos

Now I would put it in 1991 with "The Mix-Down" and "The Dance".

"Secret Love" was on Almanac in Autumn 1978, so your instincts are correct.

"Tied Up (In Promises)" is Rock A Little for sure, but I've always wondered why Stevie recorded a 1982 Olivia Newton-John single.

I am not sure if "What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You?" was recorded in time for Rock A Little; it could have been. For some reason, I think of it in that burst of creativity Stevie displayed stemming from her February 1986 tour of Australia with Tom & Bob:

Whole Lotta Trouble
You Like Me
Two Kinds of Love
Juliet

Just guessing, of course. But the lyrics seem to suggest Tom & Friends.

Mike,
