Sea Of Love - The Stevie Nicks Box (my project) shares included...

[wildheart048]

Ok, as I mentioned in a previous post a while back, I've been working on a little project...I'm making my own Stevie box set... "Sea Of Love" ... of course mine is going to be about a million discs long and includes solo/FM & collabs...anyway, it's in a couple of 'parts', the first being all the FM album tracks (Stevie's, I mean - I call it "Silhouette Of A Dream") The second part, "The Edge Of It" includes all of Stevie's non album tracks, some demos, alt versions, remixes, edits, live stuff, etc... that's what I'm working on now...anyway, just thought I'd share some of it with you kind folks...of course, alot of it is commercially available, so I can't share that stuff, but as I go along (I'm doing it more or less chronologically ... of course, the demos may be a bit skewed, but they are approx. where they belong...) So, without further adieu...here's the first batch of postings...hope you enjoy!

I've Loved And I've Lost (from an '81 ('87?) interview, but I thought it a good way to start the set, anyway, being as Stevie claims it is the first song she ever wrote..)

Well I was very curious about this 1981 version of 'I've Loved and I've Lost' so I bit the bullet and downloaded the file. After following all the prompts from Sendspace, downloading whatever spyware they favor, and running that silly 'Dell Jukebox' thing, it turns out that this is the same 'I've Loved..' that most of us have heard from a 1987 (not 1981) 'Tango In The Night' promo. This spot didn't even have Lindsey on it, it was really a promo for the 'Shake The Cage' tour IIRC and an intro to Rick and Billy. Whatever.

You can really tell it's not from 1981 just by her voice. Her speaking voice is much MUCH deeper than the speaking voice she affected in 1981, and you can 'hear' that mysterious, stuffy nasal click which is now apparent when you listen to such modern-day songs like 'Destiny Rules'. I think, this promo spot also featured a complete demo of a song called 'Are You Mine?' with Stevie and Billy, with Sharon and possibly Lori on ladies' vocal. I would break out my old interview cassettes to verify this, but all are lost...

wow! I'm sorry you had to go through all that! My bad about the date...that is the date I had for it ... I thought that Billy and Stevie Are You Mine was an outtake from the RAL sessions (I think i remember hearing or reading that they had done it long before his tenure with FM)

You're welcome...enjoy!

Right you are, wildheart. A version of 'Are You Mine' was recorded during sessions for RAL with Billy Burnette. I don't recall it publicly coming to light though, until the promo for the 'Tango' tour which aired on (Westwood One? Timothy White's Rock Stars?). It's Billy-ness aside, Stevie does a lovely vocal full of RAL/Tango sessions-era vulnerability and vibrato (think along the lines of 'I Sing For The Things' or 'When I See You Again').

Pete, I believe it's from an on-air interview for MTV Stevie did with Mark Goodman in 1983. It was recorded in August, during the month break in the tour. They played parts of the Landover gig from early July (usually those things are filmed for marketing, just like this).

[petep9000]

I'll listen to it again when I get home from office. I'm so sure that it's from one of the '87 promos, because I had listened to that interview quite a few times that year. Unless....unless the interview I had from '87 was spliced with '83 MTV stuff and edited and padded in some way to make it seem like it was all part of the same. That could be! (Oh, I hate being tricked and manipulated by the media)

Ok.

I definitely remember the Timothy White's Rock Stars on radio, which is where we heard "Are You Mine" with Stevie & Billy (the only other "Are You Mine" I knew was the ad hoc performance of it for Jim Ladd back in 1983) as well as the wonderful little "Everywhere" demo. In fact, we could stand to hear the whole demo instead of just the clip, you stupid Timothy White. (RIP)

Spyware! OMG, that makes me think twice about downloading any files from those sites. Mediafire seems to be the safest, and they keep the files active. It's so discouraging to see so many expired links in this forum. I'm curious why so many of you chose to use those other sites instead of Mediafire.

wildheart048, I think it's awesome of you to share these tracks with all of us, especially those of us who are new to demo & live version-collecting.
Thank you, I appreciate it !

Just out of curiosity, is it just the way it downloaded or is "I've Loved and I've Lost" full of static? This particular clip was used in a radio show interview. The clip I have (which is the same as the one posted only it's just her singing) I edited out of a radio show. Don't ask which one, I have over 100 different radio shows on LP and CD from 1976 on, so I have no clue which one I pulled it from. LOL!!

[petep9000]

Which is what I was maintaining, too. Only, the radio show I heard was from '87. Taped it myself, too. The sequence where she sings part of 'I've Loved...' does seem a bit more static-y, even in my long ago memories of '87 I'm thinking that I can still 'hear' it back then. So maybe the '83 MTV stuff with Mark Goodman (which David mentioned) was indeed snipped and layered into the '87 program and pawned off as whole. Because old '83 cable-tv stuff IS static-y, they must have used cheap video tape back then, or something. Just look at any youtube stuff from MTV from that period.

Hmm...it's not the best quality, but it wasn't full of static ... I'm not sure why that happened? I will dl it and see how it comes?

I've never had a problem with sendspace before, and i like the way it uploads quickly...that's why I use it...I have had trouble with mediafire in the past, and I hate rapid share, and i'm not crazy about yousendit...
