The Dealer (2014 Stevie vs 1981 Stevie - audio download)

[jeffd8382]

Thanks go to welcomechris for this idea, since he posted a special mix of his own in another thread... Since I first heard the new version, I wanted to use one of the a cappella tracks from the original Bella Donna sessions with the new music. But welcomechris' mix made me intrigued to hear today's Stevie sing with herself from 1981. So I have mixed sections from a couple 1981 vocal takes with the 2014 version of the song. My goal wasn't to show up Stevie's current vocal with her older one - or for the 2 vocals to fight each other; only to embellish on the new recording with the vocal elements that I always loved in the original demo takes. But there's no "Jesse showed me at an early age" or other variances, because I wanted the two vocals to mesh as though they were meant to be together. It's not perfect, and I may play with it some more. I also played with the equalization of the center & side channels, because the 2014 track as it is sounds a little muddy to me. Anyways in the hopes you all might enjoy it, I wanted to share it here!
