Which Demos Will Make the Cut for the New Solo Record?

[AnthonyMI]

Back in 1998 I proposed to the Ledge that the Enchanted version of Gold and Braid was, in fact, the studio version of Gold and Braid. I think that they replaced the live version audio with the studio track for the HBO special like they redubbed Stevies Vocals on Edge of 17. That is why we have not heard the recorded version of Gold and Braid... it would be admitting "fraud".

That's crazy. There are several studio cuts of Gold And Braid available on the master reels, and none of them resemble the live version exactly.

here's another:

Yah, neither of those are completed tracks. They have more in common with the "Working" takes of the other Bella Donna tracks. Those are not the final completed versions.

If you look for them, you will find completed versions. I just posted what I could find with a quick youtube search, while I am at work. There are versions from the master reels that are as completed as, say, The Dealer or Julia - you just have to look for them.

Here are some of them:

I have what are clearly two separate versions of "Gold And Braid" one live and the other a studio version...Are you saying there is a third version?

There are several studio "takes" with "live" instruments. I do not think any finished products have every been seen where they had prerecorded instruments and then dubbed vocals. like all the other tracks on Bella Donna were done.

The closest thing to a Studio Version were the Master Reels that had some various levels of completeness.

There's several versions, like with most of her songs. Any master reels of Gold And Braid are here. http://stevienicksivorykeys.blogspot...-outtakes.html

Pretty much any Stevie outtakes/demos/ live recordings are in this blogspot.
