Different Versions of Songs That Are Better

[WatchChain]

I prefer the alternate take of "You Make Loving Fun" on the Deluxe version of "Rumours" with more prominent background vocals by Stevie on the chorus --

"feeling it's time to try/beginning to wonder why".

I agree 100%. I LOVE the alternate lyrics at the end.

Yes!! And the intro.

I will throw in 2 Stevie solo tracks that are completely different versions not just a different mix or slightly alternate version.

How Still My Love - the alternate version is so radically different but just as good as the album track. Both are incredible but the alternate version is so powerful and the music is so radically different.

Sable On Blonde - the alternate version is so freaking good and better than the album track. I like Stevie's voice better and love how the song builds and builds. The ending just needed edited down for the album. I think Jimmy was making The Wild Heart more light rock and pop friendly and wanted Mick playing for maybe a little Mac magic. He was near bankruptcy at that time so maybe he really needed the money

Wild Heart alternate version is much better than the slower more adult contemporary album version too

I will go out on limb and say I like the Tusk version of Beauty and the Beast. I would not say I like it better than Wild Heart but I think it would have added something to Tusk in replace of Beautiful child or Storms. Its a bluesy folksy kind of song which is radically different than the piano/strings ballad Stevie turned it into. I will say her solo version is very nice with the strings and Roy. It was great on the Wild Heart tour but she never did that song justice again. Roy was gone and never returned. RAL era was coked out improvising that ruined the beauty of the song. OSOTM version was tranqulized out. The Tusk version has grown on me over the years.

I’m disappointed this version wasn’t included on the Tusk box set. I also really liked this version. I don’t think I have it anymore in my collection. I trashed all the bad recording’s I had.

I know. Its ridiculous. We got 9 versions of I know I'm not wrong or something but no discarded Tusk songs? Its beyond crazy.
And Smile At You is not included in the Mirage box set either.
WTF
Yet we got those crappy Tango songs like Ooh My Love that were not really songs and raw demos. And no full Mirage concert. The HBO show on CD.
God help us.

Its really hard to be a Fleetwood Mac fan when these corporate record companies do this to us

I was trying to listen to RAL. Which I like a lot of songs on there. But wow there are some real clunkers. I can't stand Sister Honey. Love the title track... and yes those Tango demos.. some are so bad.
