I'm no good at choosing favorite demos, but I'll try:

City of Hope
All the Beautiful Worlds
Something Exquisite
Beautiful Ghost/The Crystal
Belle Fleur
Baby Doll
Starshine

The TISL demos of Thrown Down are big favorites of mine, so I was thrilled to see it on SYW.

I also like Gypsy Beggars/I Wanna Talk to You/whatever it's called, and I think I'm probably the only one.

I'm also beginning to like Love You Enough since hearing the shorter & more "polished" version. I think it has potential.

Question....

Is the "tropical" version of "If You Were My Love" the Street Angel version? I've never had the SA version, but I do have this version...and her voice sounds VERY 'street angel-ish' to me.

Funny you asked that, Josh, as I was about to ask for some clarification on that one too.

I've been seeing the "tropical version" listed on various sites lately, but I haven't bothered to download it or seek it out, because I've assumed it's simply the 'Street Angel' era outtake with a goofy nickname someone gave it.

I can't begin to describe how happy I am that they didn't use that version for 'Street Angel.'
"If You Were My Love" is a tremendous song, but that corny production and Stevie's listless vocal just stops it dead in its tracks.
Apparently quite a few people disagree with me though... but that's nothing new!

This is a fun song to play when you're driving. Definitely one of her few upbeat numbers.

The tropical version of If You Were My Love is the FM version.

And I agree with you on the SA version; it's awful.

Really? Because I know that I have the FM version (I can clearly hear Lindsey on there), and it is NOT the same as the 'tropical version".

Ahhh...all these versions of songs is enough to drive one crazy!

That's what I was thinking. The one I think of as the FM version is the one where Lindsey repeats over and over "If you were my love" near the end of the song. And there isn't a hint of anything tropical in that version IMO.

Aside from the ones that have already been mentioned, I am really digging "Love You Enough" right now. Thank you as always, Nancy!
