No Grammy's for "24 Karat Gold"

TISL: "Candlebright," "Sorcerer," and "Planets of the Universe"
SA: Nearly all of it, I believe, with the exceptions of "Blue Denim," and the outside songwriter songs

So the thing about 24KG that's different is that there aren't newly written songs added into the mix. I understand your point of view about this, but I think the quality of the songwriting from that phase of Nicks' life makes this a very high quality album of songs rather than a collection of "cast offs".

Of course a song being a demo or cast off doesn't mean much per se. Planets of the Universe is amazing and was a demo for so long because she never got it to sound the way she wanted it to (or so I read). Moonlight is one of my favorite songs; I didn't even know that was "old". (Are you sure about that, btw? Considering it was written with Twilight as inspiration and the first novel came out in 2005...) Technically every song is once a demo, hehe. I understand that a "fan track" or "demo" can sound negative, though.

But didn't Stevie say she released 24 Karat Gold because she was informed of her fans loving the unreleased songs on Youtube?
