Let this be a call to arms for every Stevie fan on the Ledge- we need to stand up to this shady character who insists on depriving the community from winning these auctions. If we can get every Stevie fan here to contribute, we can outgun any interloper who tries to outbid us. We will succeed in getting every last one of this seller's tapes if we stand united.

Can I get an AMEN in hee-yah?

Amen.

I'm bummed.

I had my Mirror Mirror mix CD already planned, dammit!

Damn! I've been at work all day and missed all this! I can contribute LOTS of $$ on ANY future Stevie purchases!

BTW, HELL YES there are hoarders! I've said it before: There's a woman in San Antonio who DEFINITELY has "I Call You Missing" from Street Angel and MORE. And she's been hoarding it for over 16 years!

Yeah, I'll never understand people like this. It's one thing (yes, annoying and immoral as it may be) to make money off of hoarding these things then selling them in dribs and drabs... but to just sit on it, keeping it to oneself.. to feel special perhaps? Where is the joy in that?

Jeff, she had "If You Were My Love" and "I Call You Missing" from Street Angel in 1995, and would taunt me with them. This is BEFORE we all got the Street Angel "If You Were My Love" in 1997. I finally ignored her, but in Late 1999, she contacted me again, and she DEFINITELY had ACTUAL 1996~1999 recordings that Stevie done. She quoted from them, played snippets for me, PROMISED them to me, and then never came through. One song from 1999 Stevie wrote after JFK, Jr. died. I forget the other titles. "What Would You Do?" was one (not that recent song some guys wrote on YouTube "inspired" by Stevie; this is an actual Stevie song), and one with a butterfly in the title, I think.

Ah man this sucks, I was just about to post that I'd be willing to contribute to the cost of these gems ... sad face

Wow... very interesting stuff. Hopefully some day it will crop up from someone.. maybe even Stevie herself. But yeah, that had to be really frustrating to have someone just dangling this stuff in front of you.. just out of reach of course.

Yeah, wasn't there a song title floating around called Desert skies, or Butterflies, or something that rhymes with that And BTW, I would KILL to hear "I Call You Missing" SA version or better yet RAL master version! But definitely would be really curious to see what they did with this during the SA sessions.
Sometimes knowing all this stuff is out there is torture. Thats why next time, we have to be more vigilant. I would have gladly paid more $ for the RAL work tapes, and been even more happy to share them with everyone. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get involved in bidding....

Hell, I cant count the amount of $$ I spent in the late 90's on ML crappy compilations on Ebay. I'm sure it was well over a thousand.

[SapphireSister]

Don't talk to me (no pun intended). I'm in mourning for Chanel Chanel RAL...

So close, yet so far away she cried.

P.S. I believe the one we have is earlier than TISL i.e. early-mid 90's. Don't think she's referring to Crow.

My god, why? Of all songs to hoard... I just don't get it.

Power issue. It's like she is saying to us, "I'm a bigger fan because I have stuff you don't".

You never know with labeled tapes. In 2004, when we bought the Street Angel Masters of February 1993 and had them transfered, "I Call You Missing" was on the tape's track listing (yes, so was "Love Is Like A River" ~ they're not the same song), but it was not on the tape. Also, several Master Reels were labeled "Christian" yet never were they recordings of "Christian", but instead were always mislabeled tapes of "Gypsy", "Sanctuary", etc. In fact, one tape said "Christian (fast tempo)". Or "Upbeat".

So, I'm wondering if "Why Are We Doing This Again?" is really the alternate title of "Long Way To Go". That would certainly fit better than "Not A Matter Of The Heart", which definitely seems like "Love Don't Fail Me Now". Stevie's very first copyright for "Long Way To Go" in 1984 is under the title "Have Fun, Tell The World". And tape labels have proven to not always be correct.

Just speculating... in my sickness...

Going off track here but I just wanted to throw this out: Does anyone else think that Long Way to Go is a response to Joe Walsh's "I'll Tell The World About You"? This song was released in '85 so it could have been written in '84 and Stevie was aware of it and so she retaliated with "Have fun, tell the world" when he pissed her off?
