I also have The Divine.....but I love WH /Mirror ....it would've been cool if they'd have released a 2nd Divine with BD/RAL on it too.

I own it too. But really all it is, is half the songs from The Other Side Of The Mirror and half the songs from The Wild Heart. It's not really much of a compilation. Personally I think it's because EMI Europe own the rights to those two and not the others so it seems doubtful to me that Stevie had much to do with it.

I agree - she had little to do with it. But, I like the songs on it - so, I like it

I question even that Stevie knows it's out there.

No, I agree, I like it too but like David says I can't imagine Stevie is even aware of it. I don't think it's the 11th album she's talking about.

I am pretty sure she would have had to have okay'd it. So, I am sure she is aware of it. In fact, she offers things up in interviews all the time where I kind of am amazed she knew about that issue. But, who knows.

THats how i felt about it also. AND id never seen that pic on the cover before then, and the one on the back where it was just her eyes.

It is like the cool dreamyer "lesser known" songs like Alice and Wild Heart, who casual fans who only had timespace might enjoy.

I don't think she does either - or if does - she forgot. She gets years wrong all the time. I bet she just pulled the 11 number out of thin air - sounded good enough. I remember her saying something about the wild heart tour "I guess it was in 1984"

Exactly, this is a release that was exclusive to Europe.

Actually record labels don't have to get permission from the artists to re-issue stuff unless the artist holds the rights to the recordings. Stevie doesn't own her recordings, the label does. She owns her songs, not the recordings, there is a difference. So as long as EMI or Waner Bros (which owns/owned Modern) has the rights they can release whatever they want, whenever they want.
For instance Capitol Records will be re-releasing the entire Beatles catalog for the first time since 1987, they didn't have to get the ok from Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr. Very few artists can control what a record label does.

I'll say. When I saw the band during SYW, Stevie introduced Beautiful Child as a song she'd written from the Tusk album in 1971.

Then they must have gotten permission from Michael Jackson cause he owns the publishing to the music of The Beatles. On a side note, you forgot to include Yoko Ono who would speak on behalf of Johnny Boy.

Correct me if I am wrong; doesn't that album just contain songs from Wild Heart and The Other Side of the Mirror? A very strange compilation. I never bought it because when I first saw it, I knew exactly what it was -- an Eurpeon knock-off. However, I do like the cover shot, and may just get it for collector reasons. But I don't think anyone should include this as part of Stevie's official discography.

Remember this: Stevie has always been a little fuzzy when it comes to facts and figures. It's very typical/expected that she wouldn't get the number of her albums right.

trackaghost · #30 04-19-2009, 07:56 PM

It does contain songs from those two albums however it's not unofficial in the sense that it's released by EMI, Stevie's European record company in the 80s (but unoffical in the sense that it's probably not endorsed by Stevie herself). I don't know if it has a different meaning in the US but knock-off here means like a pirate copy or a bootleg and The Divine Stevie Nicks isn't that.
