Deluxe Other Side of the Mirror Wishlist

bwboy · #1 10-07-2016, 08:53 PM

Why not- it could happen and anyway, it's fun to imagine. Besides remastering the original album, I would include on disc 2 Real Tears (B side to Two Kinds of Love) and the Tragedy of One's Own Soul. Maybe Desirree or Intuition, the two songs she did with Rick Vito for his solo album around 1991?

Anyone know other songs or outtakes that could be included?

Doing The Best That I Can (live piano version)

The two versions of "Impossible Task" that have circulated over the years have completely "zoned out" and "uninspired" vocals. Undoubtedly the Klonopin taking hold. However, the lyrics are beautiful and the arrangement is stunning. It's almost set up like a duet, as if someone else should have been singing with her during the final verse where the previous lyrics overlap each other. On both of these demos, Stevie sings both parts. If there is a better version somewhere, with a more "inspired" vocal

then I'd love for it to show up on the bonus disc if ever TOSOTM gets the deluxe treatment.

Then of course you have the "Long Way To Go" 12" Remix that MUST go on there!

I'd love for any alternate versions of "Ooo, My Love" and "Doing The Best I Can" which are, in my opinion, the two best songs on the record. And of course, like the "Wild Heart" bonus disc, I'd love for her to surprise us with some unknown and/or unexpected songs that we never knew she had recorded for this project.

I've heard tour rehearsals for Ooh My Love and Long Way to Go- it would be nice to have those two songs, since she's never actually performed them live.

She really sounded good this tour. I would love a live CD.
I think there is a Long Way To Go remix that was released in Japan.

ABSOLUTELY ! They actually sounded very good, even though they were from rehearsals.

Stevie quite likes this album. I hated it on first listen when it was released but I've slowly warmed to it. There are a number of good tracks: ROF, WLT, OOh My Love, Ghosts, Fire Burning, Alice, Long Way To Go, DTBIC....

I'm thinking since Stevie is fond of her first four albums she is probably, more then likely, reissue all of them and eventually TISL and In Your Dreams. Her disdain for Street Angel might prevent her from reissue it although I'd love a remastered version of "Mirror, Mirror" that was recorded for it.

I remember Stevie saying in an interview that Other Side of the Mirror was her father's least favorite album by her up to that point. Not sure why.

Weird as Stevie has made her feelings about this album very well known. She loves it.

Does she?

Not doubting it, just skeptical considering how neglected it's been onstage for nearly 20 years...

I always thought this album was more honest, or accessible, to her fans. Long Way to Go, Ooh My Love, Ghosts, and especially Doing the Best That I Can have some of Stevie's most revealing lyrics, and certainly her darkest, so I can see why this album could be important to her. And, ironically, why it was her father's least favorite, for those same reasons.

I find many of the known OSOTM outtakes to be quite atrocious. Dial The Number, Don't Treat Me Like A Stranger, The Tragedy of One's Own Soul. Lily Girl.

Seriously awful stuff.

But there are some other songs speculated to be from this era that I'd love to see on a deluxe package, like:

*Beautiful Ghost
*Impossible Task
*Prettiest Girl In The World
*Love Don't Fail Me Now (one of my favorite unreleased tracks)
*At The Fair

I can see the Kenny G tracks being included. Stevie basically gave birth to his career by scrubbing both songs that were over the sax track that later became his signature breakthrough song. I'm sure it will boost album sales when all 5 Kenny G fans rush to purchase an album with his music on it.

Fill me in on this one how Stevie gave birth to Kenny G's career. I never heard that one before. I think she killed his career

He was already huge and in Stevie's own words....she was on tour with the Mac when his "Songbird" was a huge hit. She said she was captivated and instantly made the point to include him on her next solo record.
