Purported Mac/Stevie releases...

[Dowie100]

Has there been any word at all of the remastered Stevie Nicks solo albums, have been holding off buying them when read she was going to re-release them?

That part I hadn't heard before, I'd only heard that there were technical problems. That could fall under the headline of technical problems though. Another problem with it was Stevie kept her eyes closed during much of the show. From a video standpoint that wasn't a great thing, but from an audio standpoint, that wouldn't be a problem. Same deal with the MSO being drowned out, the mixing process could fix that. Either way it's too bad, it could have made for a great album. Just as Meat Loaf and KISS did before her with the MSO.

ppfffttt! You'll be lucky! I don't see Stevie doing this at all, sorry. I think it's one of those frustrating things of hers that she just mentions and never actually bothers about. I know she cares about her fans but doing things like this makes it seem like she doesn't. She knows that fans want this to happen and yet she doesn't bother. Both Bella Donna and The Wild Heart desperately need remastered (and I think that even if she did bother to do it it would only be for these two albums) but if she was going to do it she'd have probably done it by now...sorry.

I really hope it does happen just don't want to get a copy of the old versions (which are quite difficult to find here) and then wham the new remastered version appears, perfect time would be when she and Mr Dave Stewart release their project will hang on to hope until then.

Its sad cause I think there is a market out there for this too. Same for Fmac. Yes, since this person mentioned it ......I will mention that its great or would be great (since I get 'talked' about Stevie doing this all of the time.....) but I'm sure everyone here would 'love' to have them remastered with extras too but she could do all of her solo lp's or just another 'full' box set....all done at once.........others that mention that I say this alot (which I don't every time--at least I don't think I do only when it deserves to be mentioned that is.....) I'm sure all would purchase it here....right???? so whats there to complain about ??? Of course , it doesn't appear it'll be happing & thats sad.......even if it was only in limited editions or something....same with DVD's and a picture book......ok so I've mentioned it 'again'..........thank you.........

But this show was not professionally video-taped. There is a fan-shot video circulating, but this show was only planned for an audio release.
I know for a fact there was no video release planned for this show. If you tend not to believe that, then tell me why, when Stevie had to redo OTR and Dreams at the end of the show, she stayed in her BAB costume and didn't change to redo those songs.

But it's a business.

Stevie doesn't own the decisions about what gets remastered and released. She may be part of the decision, but it involves many more people, who are involved with other things, too.

Whatever happened to Ken C.'s petition to get all that old stuff released?

It died on the vine.

He was also working on the DVD-A of TUSK at one point, but gave that up, too, I guess because DVD-A products waned in demand.

Yes, I remember that the TUSK DVD-A was finished, and waiting for release, when the industry decided to kill the format. It's too bad. That was the closest thing to vinyl, sound-quality wise. That, and the SA-CD format.

The world decided mp3s are good enough. Yuck.

I am stil upset about that. My Rumours DVD-A sounds just incredible.
