The promo CD for "Twisted" didn't have a picture cover, only a back inlay (with the title, et al).

If that's the final set list, this "Best of" CD is a complete waste of time in my book.

Several of those songs have already been on best of compilations and such and there's other material on TISL that is as deserving or more deserving for consideration on such a CD (*cough* "Fall From Grace" *cough*).

Of course, I bet the completists and the dyed in the wool fans would still jump all over it.

I agree. Until I see something official, I'm not buying it. Come on, The Nightmare? I love that stupid song, but a "best of" it is not.

Well, The Divine Stevie Nicks had this tracklikst, which was unlikely to say the least and though I like most of the less known songs:

1. Rooms On Fire
2. Long Way To Go
3. Wild Heart Listen
4. Sable On Blond
5. Two Kinds Of Love
6. Stand Back
7. Fire Burning
8. Ooh My Love
9. Alice
10. Enchanted
11. Nothing Ever Changes
12. Ghosts
13. If Anyone Falls
14. Gate And Garden

I think you make a good point here Jason.

The Nightmare is not that unlikely...especially if Stevie wanted it on Enchanted. She may have insisted that it be included on her best of, and maybe that's why so many of the other tracks are radio edits - to leave room for her remix of The Nightmare. Also, Stevie herself remixed The Nightmare....so why wouldn't she want to include it?

I know lots of people swear that Stevie hates all of her own material from 1985-1995 but I just don't believe it myself, and seeing this remix of the Nightmare is perfectly logical.

However....a good point has been made in that there has been no tracklisting from any official source.

I think its a great idea to release a current "Very Best of" that showcases that Stevie was just more than the 80s hits. It will also prompt fans to go out and buy full Stevie albums...

Its bloody hard to please you people

Totally agree! And the long way to go remix could be counted as a rarity...

I had no idea there was a "bestof" coming!

I say that because the artist usually doesn't have a ton of input on these Rhino compilations. The Nightmare wasn't even close to being a hit, and even most fans think the song's a bit of a joke (although I myself love it.) "Stevie at her cut & poaste best" I've heard it described as (Sparky? Towie?)

I just see more "hits" being on there. I may be wrong.

I'll buy it regardles of wht is or isn't there, since I'm a completist.

I always found this compilation to be bizarre because it only pulled from The Wild Heart and OSOTM. Not bad, mind you, just weird. Why use songs from only two albums, and why those two, in particular.

It's an import from Europe and I think it's because these songs are the only ones published by EMI in Europe. Same reason why The Wild Heart got that repackage a few years ago out of Holland or something like that.

I think the tracklisting is ok. Not great but not that bad either. I will buy it for my colection . Hopefully she will release a new album soon.

BlackWidow · #43 09-11-2006, 10:23 PM

Why is everyone surprised..we know she hasn't been really writing at all.
This news came out while she was in New Zealand/Australia. She said there would be no new tracks.

Well that makes sense. I knew there had to be some reason.

I was pleasantly surprised by the tracklist, actually, I thought it was going to be an all-hits compilation. And you can only fit so many songs on a single disc, so I think the balance between hits and lesser known favorites has been done pretty well. And the inclusion of Crying In The Night and the 12" of the Nightmare is a bonus, I love the remixed Nightmare, so much better than the album version (in the same way that the extended Rock a little is way better than the album version).

and yes, of course I already have all the songs several times, but it is a Best Of album, not an anthology of any sorts, so it's for those that may not have any Stevie albums at all and not specifically geared towards the hardcore fan.

In my case, i will get both the European and US versions because I am a completist with too much money lol
