An Alternate "I Can't Wait"

Yes, but the Marilyn Martin vocals make it post-June 1983. I read an interview with Marilyn in the Austin American Statesman in 1985, and she talks about meeting Stevie while on The Wild Heart tour in 1983 while singing for Joe. Stevie liked her vocals so much that she had Marilyn come out and sing backup on a few songs on that tour. I remember at the Texas shows, since Carolyn Brooks lives in Dallas, on a few songs we had four girls singing back up! "Rhiannon" and "Edge Of Seventeen" I definitely remember, and Carolyn also sang on If Anyone Falls" and "Beauty And The Beast".

Stevie and her touring band also recorded "Sorcerer" for Streets Of Fire on that tour, and that's how Marilyn got lead vocals.

Maybe "Jimmy Come On Back" was recorded during that tour as well, like "One More Big Time Rock And Roll Star", which was recorded in July 1983, and Joe and Marilyn are both on that song. Maybe that's why it has that The Wild Heart feel.

Or maybe it was recorded in Dallas in 1984, one of the earlier Rock A Little tracks, and Stevie was still aiming for more of a rock and roll record.
