Reflections.... the best of Stevie Nicks

From what I understand, Stevie was blocked from using "Silver Springs" on 'Timespace,' because Mick wanted to use it on the boxed-set that was being readied for release the very next year.

But the original song has now been released four times ('25 Years - The Chain,' 'The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac,' the 'Rumours' DVD-Audio, and the 'Rumours' remastered & expanded edition), so it's probably not an issue anymore.

"Electronic Press Kit."

I hope so. If not, it's pretty disappointing.

True - but it is still odd that she would include it even then because she has so much other stuff of her own.

In any event, time will tell.

Also - I do not mean to insult the original poster. I am just skeptical because as many of us know, some people are insincere, etc. - which they likely are not.

What makes it so disappointing?
If it's because it lacks a brand new song, I'm with you there.

Otherwise, I think that -- all things considered -- it's a pretty decent selection (again, aside from the second version of "Edge").

I think it is decent as well. I do think though that she should include some new stuff. Why not? It is not like she is ever likely to release another solo studio recording as she will be 61 this year and the Mac is touring soon as is she. I mean she likely has enough finished songs in the vault to make a 12 song record

I'm trying to guess what this 'voice over' thing could be. Kind of like director's comments, where Stevie talks about the how and why of a videoclip? Or, God forbid, the stories we've heard a million times before, about what the songs are supposedly about?

There's nothing new there. If she's not doing any new music at this time, she could at least go into the vaults and release something no one's ever heard. I don't need a rehash of Timespace and Enchanted. And why add Silver Springs when there are several versions on the Rumours deluxe edition?
I'd much rather have had Crying In The Night as the first track list suggested. The DVD will be cool though.

I'm begging for BATB from Melbourne, or wherever, to be included on the DVD as well.

Hayley might know the answer to this question, but I think CD packaging is relatively inexpensive if it sells for around $20.00, which this likely will. Also, I think she should do like she said in that Australian interview and release some things online for $1.99 song. Surely she could make $100,000 that way if it was something not leaked and she offered some kind of bouns thing like a voiceover bonus.

Maybe the FM songs and 2nd version of Edge are place holders for new songs! Here's hoping!

Any new "best of" is bound to rehash parts of 'Timespace' and 'Enchanted.'
There's no way around it. Just as recent "best of" compilations by REM, Tom Petty, Springsteen, Heart, Bowie, Mellencamp, Aerosmith, Blondie, and so on, all rehashed parts of their previously released compilations.

There are six songs on this, however, that weren't on 'Timespace' or 'Enchanted.' And, if this tracklisting really is to be believed, five of the songs are live recordings that have never been officially released, period.

So, no, it's definitely not perfect... but it's not without its merits either.

I'm skeptical about the tracklisting, But that would be interesting if the above DVD tracklisting is indeed accurate.

Doesnt matter, I will end up with the compilation anyways, so no biggie on the tracklisting.

[UnwindedDreams]

Love the title... She should use it for the tour name too...

just would like to see a new song pop up on there...

exactly what I was going to say.

I'm really excited about the DVD portion though.
