When I'd originally heard about this I thought they would be
released as such. Because that's what everyone's doing now.
And when I'd found out about the Mirage Deluxe release the
record company didn't mention the Vinyl/CD/DVD set. But
then later added it. I was hoping for the same with Stevie.

Since Stevie's vinyl albums are mentioned as separate releases
I'm guessing that's not the case. But the vinyl is decently priced.
And some don't play vinyl (to their shame) anymore so I guess
it's cheaper for them this way.

If you are unhappy with the content of these new expanded editions, then more than likely you will also be unhappy with whatever she decides to release if (or when) she puts out an expanded RAL.

If you buy everything - the Cd's and both vinyls - it roughly totals out to $94.oo, which is almost basically the same price as buying ONE of the Fleetwood Mac Deluxe sets.

But you're combining both Bella Donna and Wild Heart and
then comparing it to one Fleetwood Mac title.

Around about...

$30.00 (3cd Bella Donna)
$22.00 (Vinyl Bella Donna)
$20.00 (2cd Wild Heart)
$22.00 (Vinyl Wild Heart)

I have the exact prices but don't have the time to look them
up right now.

Very true. We are very lucky she is doing this at all.

I'm aware that the single CD editions of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart will be available digitally, but does anyone know if the deluxe versions will be available through digital outlets as well?

[Phil]

I agree that we are fortunate to be getting these reissues, particularly since I didn't think it would ever happen. Please don't misunderstand me - I am grateful, but I can't help fantasising about what could have been...
I know Stevie would never take this route, but if only she would consider some expanded super deluxe versions by way of crowd funding - that way, a limited number of them could be produced and she could charge through the roof for them. I think a limited edition of say 2,000 would be shifted in no time.

Stevie Nicks Reissuing Early Solo Albums, Says She Needs to "Be Careful" with Upcoming Tour Setlist

http://kwbe.com/abc_classicr/stevie-...abcid35785046/

BY ABC News Radio | October 5, 2016

Stevie Nicks‘ upcoming 24 Karat Gold Tour will feature the Fleetwood Mac singer performing songs from her entire solo career. If you want to revisit her earlier solo work, there’s good news: Her first two albums are being reissued with live tracks and unreleased material.

Deluxe editions of 1981’s Bella Donna and 1983’s The Wild Heart arrive November 4. The three-CD Bella Donna reissue includes unreleased versions of hits like “Edge of Seventeen,” movie soundtrack rarities and a 1981 live show. The Wild Heart two-CD reissue includes unreleased tracks and B-sides. Remastered versions of both albums also will be available on vinyl and CD that same day.

Stevie plans to reach back to both records on the tour, which kicks off October 25.

“I would like to do bits and pieces of the song ‘Bella Donna,'” Nicks tells ABC Radio. “I’m gonna try to do ‘Wild Heart’…It’s a very hard song to do but I’m gonna give it a go.”

Those tunes will join a parade of Stevie’s greatest hits in the set list: She’ll sing “Gold Dust Woman,” “Dreams,” “Stand Back” and “Rhiannon,” even though, she admits, Fleetwood Mac “just did ‘Rhiannon’ 220 times over the last three years.” Another song that’s always on the list: “Edge of Seventeen,” even though, she says, “[It’s] really long, so we might have to shorten it a little bit.”

For Nicks, the trickiest part is figuring out how many songs from her most recent album, 24 Karat Gold, to include in the set.

“You can only do a certain amount of everything that’s not that familiar to people,” she notes. “Or they’re gonna say, ‘What song came off of the set so you could play this new song that I don’t know?'”

Here are the track listings for the reissues:

Oh, man, I'm so disappointed she's planning to do Gold Dust Woman along with Rhiannon and Dreams. Stevie even acknowledged she had just done them with FM! She has so many solo hits she could sing instead. If she is really willing to alternate her set list as she hinted before, she should sing GDW one night and Rhiannon the next night. They both have a similar feel. But to sing them both in one night, along with Dreams and Landslide, is too much.

So we've got 4 songs from FM, maybe 4 songs from 24 Karat, "bits and pieces" from the song Bella Donna, and "maybe" the Wild Heart, a shortened version of Edge of 17, and Stand Back. That's already 12 songs. Steve's on a bill with the Pretenders, which means she'll probably play 90 minutes, which doesn't leave a lot of time for more songs. If we're lucky, we'll get 4-5 more songs. She's mentioned Rooms on Fire (yay!), Moonlight, and Soldier's Girl. And she just performed Leather and Lace on tv, so I'm sure that's on the list.

Please Stevie, no cover songs!!! Limit FM songs to 2 (or less)! That way you can focus on your solo material that your fans really, truly want to hear!

[snroxman]

Agreeing with bwboy -
no covers
limit or alternate some Fleetwood Mac songs
more solo!

Comments for Wild Heart (the song): do a version of the shorter take everyone's seen on YouTube. More than likely easier to sing, and in a shorter version - leaves room for another solo song.

Comments for Rooms On Fire: even a re-tooled version would be wonderful

They are still not on iTunes. I purchased Mirage Deluxe package from iTunes and was hoping I could do so with these too.

???? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean other people don't like it. A lot of us listen to music on our iPhones while we work and do stuff... They should be released digitally.

[Macfan4life]

Shortening of Edge of 17?
WHAT
I guess that means no edge walk
I agree that she should do no more than 2 Mac songs.
For the casual fan: Dreams and Rhiannon or Landslide
NO MORE
Gold Dust Woman was also done 220 times over the past few years.
Dig into the vault. Make this like the Enchanted tour.
