Maybe Love Abbey Road mix

I think the point she was making was that she didn't care while she was writing and recording it.

And for the record, no producers were "fired" in the making of the album. The album was finished, for all intents and purposes, and Glynn Johns had returned to England. Once Stevie re-emerged from rehab and listened to the masters, it was then... newly clean and sober... that she realized she needed to at least try to fix it with overdubs and new mixes.

In a 1994 radio interview with Mary Turner, she said one thing she didn't do, was record new vocals -- though she admitted she probably should have.

So, yeah, she "cared," but only after the main recording and her vocals were completed.

I still love the album, either way.
