Ideas for a new compilation album

[UndoingTheLaces]

You know how record companies often put together little best of compilations to re-package music that's already out there and sell it at a low price? I've seen a bunch of these for Cyndi Lauper, mixing seemingly random tracks from her catalog. How about a CD called "Stevie Nicks.. Angels". It could have all the songs Stevie has done with the word "Angel" in the title or where it is mentioned in the song.

Angel
Sleeping Angel
Touched By An Angel
Ooh, My Love
Blue Lamp
Wild Heart
Desert Angel
Soldier's Angel
Street Angel

Go to Walmart or Target .You can see alot of other artists have dozens of different cds on the rack with mixed tunes.Also in the bargin cd bin.Wheres Stevie? or Fleetwood Mac? or Lindsey to that matter.
Ton of different compilations of other artists with tunes from different era in their career.

I thought of STEVIE GOES TO THE MOVIES

It would feature all her songs that appear on movie soundtracks. Granted, most of them are on the Enchanted box set, but that was a limited release for hard-core fans. Those songs, otherwise, are mostly obscure and unavailable to the general public (and light-weight fans!). Highlighting them in a smaller context makes for a really nice album.

1. BLUE LAMP
2. SLEEPING ANGEL
3. FREE FALLING
4. TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL
5. BATTLE OF THE DRAGON
6. VIOLET AND BLUE
7. TWISTED
8. IF YOU EVER DID BELIEVE
9. CRYSTAL
10. SOMEBODY STAND BY ME
11. EDGE OF SEVENTEEN

Free Falling was from a TV show (Party of Five) not a movie, but I like the idea. You can swap it out with Talk To Me that was in Gypsy 88.

Live", comprising performances of various hits and non-hits from different eras, coupled with extra DVD with these performances.

Look at what I said! I was inferring about the questionabilty of yet another complilation. It's just a speculative notion...giving that most of her songs that went to movie soundtracks are not on her albums, and thus, less available in the general market.

Your suggestion of another greatest hits package is even more rote and redundant than my idea. Though, an extensive live compilation in the manner of what Tom Petty did with his massive five disc live anthology would be really nice.

However, Tom's sets lists through the years, with many rare live performance and cover song songs. Given Stevie's live output, we could get 2 or possibly 3 discs of live performance material.

I like this - an album full of stuff like "At Last," a real barn burner.
