Stevie/FM Demos

[Dreamz19]

Hey Everyone,

I'm one of those new fans who are out of the loop when it comes to the demos. But after finally hearing the "Smile At You" demo and some of the demos off the Rumours/Tusk reissue CD's I am hooked! I have checked out some sites but didn't find a lot....So where can I go to find more demos? Thanks in advance

Nobody ever answered your question. I feel awful! I'm ashamed of my fellow ledgies, damnit!

But they've been posting a lot of MP3s of demos & stuff over at the 7 Dunders board. Did you check that place out?

I'll post some later tonight.

I've been a fan for more than 10 years and I haven't heard many of the demos discussed around here. The amount of stuff out there is just overwhelming to me....but good luck in your quest!

Yes, I too find it amazing how I seem to see new things quite often.

I post tons of demos/outtakes over at Seven Wonders. I guess I could start copying the posts here as well, if there is an interest.

To start, I posted these yesterday:

Edge Of Seventeen - Take #7. From the master reel: Bella Donna Outtakes 3/81 ¼ Inch Reel. I really like this one because it's rough and hasty. Stevie's vocal is so off the wall...in fact, quite amusing at times. However, the seriousness of the song is never compromised. Take a listen, you'll love it!

Edge Of Seventeen - Take #26 3/9/81. From the master reel: Bella Donna Outtakes 3/81 ¼ Inch Reel. Stellar Moment: the wail that opens the song.
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...1A49696ED2BEB9

Edge of Seventeen - 3/19/81 Take #25, Scaled Down. From the master reel: Edge Of Seventeen & Bella Donna Mixes. Great scaled down take. Stevie's vocals are nice, though she misses lyrics here and there.
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...FBE60E29BFB9C5

Edge of Seventeen - 3/27/81 - Track #2. From the master reel: Bella Donna Outtakes 3/81 “Ruff Mix Reel #5”. I love this one! Great vocal, by the way. I almost like it better than the LP one...almost.
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...268EA563160699

Edge Of Seventeen - Take #15/Repeat of Mix 26. From the master reel: Edge Of Seventeen 5/31/81 "Master Mix Reel #37". This is neat, cause the music doesn't fade out at the end and the sound is great. It's pretty much what appears on Bella Donna, but extended.

Blue Lamp - 9/15 #2. From the master reel: Blue Lamp 9/15/80 and 9/16/80 – 3:10 a.m. 24 Track Reel. A work in progress demo, with some alternate lyrics. No backing vocals, just Stevie playing and singing. Running time: 6:40
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...188B762986D26B

Blue Lamp - 9/16 backing vocals, scaled down. From the master reel: Blue Lamp 9/15/80 and 9/16/80 – 3:10 a.m. 24 Track Reel. This is neat, it's just the backing vocals from Stevie and the girls. Running Time: 5:32
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...2F76173322F386

Blue Lamp - Drum Machine Demo. From the master reel: Blue Lamp Demo Reel. A finished, polished demo. Often described as haunting, there is a spooky quality to this. Great backing vocals from Stevie and the girls! Running time: 5:39
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...D152C36F2EF1E4

Blue Lamp - Complete Take, “UR Version”. From the master reel: Blue Lamp 10/15/80 & Still Of The Night ¼ Inch Reel. This is the outtake that appears on the Uncirculated Rumours boots. This? Is awesome. A killer ending, and great vocals, Stevie is really into this song! Alternate Lyrics: "You said...'If you were my love...' " Running time: 4:41
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...F601367856CC0D

Blue Lamp - 2/28/81 Extended mix. From the master reel: Bella Donna Sessions 3/31/81 "Rough Mix Composite Reel 1" ¼ Inch Reel. Similar to the Heavy Metal version, but drawn out a bit. There are a few differences in the mixing as well. Running time: 4:48

I thought it was a newbie thing lol. Glad to know it isn't. Thank you

Baby Doll - keyboard demo, 7/13/80. From the master reel: Baby Doll & If You Were My Love Master Reel 7/13/80. An eerie organ track with Stevie adding vocals to a pre-recorded vocal. Strange, really.
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...1C09DE15AE67A6

Baby Doll - fast demo, 7/13/80. From the master reel: Baby Doll & If You Were My Love Master Reel 7/13/80. Another odd track...I swear Stevie watched and was inspired by some western movie, then wrote this song.
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...A90C302FA7C07A

Baby Doll - master demo, alt lyrics from Bella Donna. From the master reel: Cecelia Master Reel. This is probably the closest thing to a complete demo of this song, though it is still lacking some structure, it is far more coherent than the previous two. At the end are some Bella Donna lyrics...
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...3E7AB0333028F8

Baby Doll - Take #2. From the master reel: Baby Doll 2/18/81 24 Track Reel. Seven months later, and Baby Doll has morphed into a full, polished song, sounding nothing like the demos. Kind of catchy...kind of bluesy...I like this. http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...8236CF7B53DD83

Is this sarcasm or actual concern? Sometimes I can't tell on this board lol. Do you have a link to that board? and can you post it? If so thank you very much.

Let me thank you again Karma for taking the time to post these.
