And Timespace.

I think I'd prefer her to go the CV/TOSOTM route and use a lyric rather than a song title. None of these really cry out to me, but All the Beautiful Worlds suits me fine. Especially given how she describes her songs as "little worlds". Although I'd prefer it be shortened to simply The Beautiful Worlds.

Starshine and Sanctuary aren't bad. Certainly better than the working title.

R there any lyrics in these demos that would make a good album title?

I think Forest of the Black Roses would be the best if she were to use a song title (which I guess she is). I think almost any of those would be better than 24k Gold, tbh. It sounds like a hits collection to me. But no matter what the title is I'll still be happy because at the end of the day it's the content that I'm looking forward to.

All the Beautiful Worlds seems like the perfect encapsulation of Stevie's idea of songwriting and what each song represents, which makes it perfect for this particular collection which is, presumably, not thematically linked or representing a particular place in life, but is about her songwriting and recording process. You know: for the fans.

I think Songs From the Vault is the best title. If all of these tracks are from her collection of gems from the past it makes for a great album title, not to mention a great PR story for the press to promote the disc.

I voted for All The Beautiful Worlds, but agree that Mistress Of My Fate would be a perfect album title.

[Jondalar]

Does anybody have any different titles that are good?

Just my opinion, but I think that would be a horrible title. Just a little too airy fairy. Sure, the term mistress can mean a woman in charge, but it also means a woman in a affair with a married man. I don't like album titles where the artist is addressed in the first person, as if it is some kind of personal proclamation. It comes off sounding really cheesy.

You picked a live album and a greatest hits. Those don't count. When it comes to studio albums, she almost always picks a song title.

[GavinBrown]

How about Mistaken Love? otherwise I like Forest of the Black Roses...just imagine that album cover?

[Jondalar]

You guys have come up with some great titles. Come up with some more and I will redo this poll to add them to the choices.

She Loves Them Still

I love All the Beautiful Worlds but I doubt it's on the album for the simple fact that she already recorded it.

Interesting observation! I never thought of that! Would she fully discount any of the few songs that were fully prepped for release but still ended up in the dust bin. It's not like she couldn't re-record them if she wanted to.

It would be cool if those songs could be available as they exist as bonus downloads. It's kind of subjective to determine what songs fall into that category.

Certainly All The Beautiful Words, and a early version of Mirror Mirror. Not sure about Dial The Number or If You Were My Love.

I have heard versions of "Golden Braid" and "Julia" that seem to have been fully completed in the studio. Also, "She Loves Him Still" was included on the track-listing for the aborted Mirror Mirror album that was due for release in 1984 so I'm assuming there's a finished version of that as well.
