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

[Jondalar]

Midnight Wind is her best vocal. With that said, I love her strong voice on Have No Heart.

[On Ice]

Midnight Wind is her best vocal

Yes, it is an amazing vocal but don't over look her stunning work on Walter Egan's first two records, especially Fundamental Roll, she's all over it. If only Fleetwood Mac had let her cut loose (well she did but it got pushed back in the final mixes, ie Oh Daddy) Where's the party? Indeed. Whoever got those vocals out of her should have locked her in a studio and told her to record all the amazing songs she had in her vault.

I'm going to need to hear it straight from Stevie to believe it.

I'm a HUGE Prince fan and own a book that exhaustively documents every recording session he made in the 1980s (citing the logs of his engineers with dates/times). And there is no mention of this session ever existing.

Not to mention the fact that the voices sound nothing like Stevie or Prince. You can listen to it again and ask yourself, "What era of Stevie's voice could that possibly be?" It's surely way too high for her 80s/90s voice, and way too flat/different than her 70s voice (when she hadn't even met Prince yet). The male voice definitely is not the Purple One. Sounds like a white dude.

Whoever recorded this half-baked "funk" would be lucky to gig at a Holiday Inn in Omaha. Very amateurish. My guess is that whoever it was decided they could finally get some attention if they mislabeled it online as Stevie & Prince. And if that's the case, boy, they've succeeded in fooling a lot of people.

Maybe it's the romantic notion that Stevie & Prince continued to collaborate that allows people's ears to be fooled by this. She said not long ago that he did offer her the opportunity to write lyrics to his "Purple Rain" demo, but she passed.

"All Over You" does succeed 0ne level: It makes me want to Stand the Hell Back.

All Over You sounds like some crazy night Stevie and Prince spent together, drugged out, playing around in a studio. I can't imagine that Stevie ever considered releasing it on one of her album. But then again, the question still remains if it's even them.

[Jondalar]

This is a really good early demo that could make the album. Again, very Cat Stevens and has a late 60s vibe.

Does anyone thing Cathouse Blues might make it? It's one of my favorite vocals of Stevie's. I assume it's an old song and not hers.

General belief that it's an original -- she wrote it. Lyrically, it's right in her pocket/style.

It's a quirky little ditty of a song, but it doesn't seem substantial enough/style-wise to be revived as a album track. At the very least, it could pop up as a hidden bonus track...five minutes after the CD album end.

Well we are def getting Starshine!

[pattyfan]

I didn't know that it is thought to be a Stevie original I don't know why, but I always thought that it might be an old country song or something that her grandfather sang and/or wrote. Anyway, you are right, it's very short, but then again, so was Secret Love, and that got fleshed out. But you are also right that maybe a secret cut at the end would be a great place for it.

Here's hoping...

Wow, very cool video I don't know that particular song. Off to youtube....

[Jondalar]

I never thought she would do star shine.

[UndoingTheLaces]

I know it's a pipe dream but I'd love to hear a modern take on Castaway. I think Dave could do incredible work on the instrumentation. Some people have said how they like the demos better than the originals but I must say I loved Anabelle Lee sooo much but when I heard the new version I was totally blown away. It's still my favorite track on In Your Dreams. And as much as I loved Secret Love all these years I love the album track just as much. I'm really bummed they didn't do a remix of it for the clubs, I think that would have gone over well.

I've been wondering when we'd get a snippet- and was getting a bit worried about not hearing one yet! I'm liking what I hear of that vocal! I've never heard the original before until just now... what an awesome little song. So much passion, such a foot tapper! I've suddenly got such good vibes about this album.

Woot! I love this song, and was really hoping for it's inclusion!

Regarding the song "all over you" I never bought the fact that it was Prince from the start, If you ask me, I always thought it sounded like Tom Petty singing with stevie
