Wow thanks Mark & Welcome to the ledge

, very much appreciated

I have been downloading mp3's like crazy, but here is a dumb ass question what are zip files? Also does anyone have any bootleg dvd's[ Stevie concerts], that anyone is willing to share or sell...?? or if someone can point me in the right direction, like I have mentioned previously that I have unfortunately been ripped off not that long ago

Good stuff Angel! So what's the story with this Maureen chick? Is this the woman who had tons of demos and refused to share them?

mikebise · #**184** 04-05-2010, 05:44 PM

No, she definitely shared them. Actually, mostly she sold them on CDs in the Late 1990s. Maureen & I were Internet Stevie friends, so she gave me all her stuff, but I was slow about uploading them to my computer before I moved in 2006 and lost the CDs.

Maureen had several inside sources. One was a guy working with Mick on a FM Boxed Set for the 30th Anniversary of FM, but that project never materialized. That's where all the Mirage outtakes came from, this guy giving them to Maureen. He also gave her copies of all kinds of stuff being considered for the never-to-be boxed set.

A different guy, close to Chris Nicks, gave her so many of the solo Stevie rarities. Maureen was the first to ever release "China Doll" back in 1998, and many, many others no one else was sharing, like "One More Tomorrow", "Night Gallery", the "Violet and Blue" outtake, "Rock A Bye Baby" and so many more.

Of course, as her bag of Stevie Goodies started emptying, Maureen started selling her newer CDs with only a few new Stevie rarities and then filled them up with stuff she'd already released in different CDs. I think that's where people got pissed. I wasn't paying, so I didn't care. Her nephew helped her with all this, and made some Stevie contacts of his own, and that's how even more Stevie songs were obtained.

One day in 1999, Maureen decided she didn't like me anymore and that was the last I heard from her. She still sold Stevie CDs but not for much longer. Maybe her Well of Stevie-Ness dried up then.

Anyway, a HUGE amount of the Stevie outtakes and demos we have today come from the efforts of Maureen, no matter what some may think of her. Most of the versions of songs she released had NEVER been heard by the masses before.

Great info Mike. I guess that is a really nice story because that's why we have so many of our great gems but at the same time why would she up and disappear like that? I mean we should be really grateful to this woman but I wonder what really happened? Maybe Stevie's people scared her off with legal stuff? Maybe Stevie cast an evil spell on her? Maybe she heard Rhiannon 1 too many times?

Moral of the story: if you have stuff like this to share, do it anonymously. Of course she didn't have that much of an option before the internet and downloading blew up big time.

I say we start a tribute to Maureen thread and see if we can coax her out of hiding

She's already a member. Her name is Carrie.

Just plain Carrie? No numbers after? It looks as though she is no longer a member...

Hmm I GUESS its cool we got to listen to demos that Stevie never even if she didn't intend for us to hear them. I just think its shi*ty that someone stole these from the band, then she charged $20 a CD for demos. Kind of lame, IMO.

henryscutter · #**189** 04-06-2010, 01:22 AM

I want to second that thank you to Mark - Wow 33 pages - I typed in Master and downloaded all the Master Reels - Listening to them now, some of the clearest demos Ive heard.

mikebise · #**190** 04-06-2010, 09:25 AM

I have a request:

The "When I See You Again" which has Stevie singing back & forth with LB at the end. The part she edited out for the album version.

NOT the version which has an added chorus. I have that.

The one I need is the Back & Forth of Stevie & LB. (Maureen is the one who leaked this as well!)

Also, anyone who has downloaded Mark's stuff: Has anyone found the "Sisters of The Moon" with the multiple Stevie overdubs? Not the one with the overwrought castanets, but with the many, many Stevies singing.

I have 2 - one from Valentines demos and outtakes labeled "WISYA alt version" and one labeled "WISYA edit". I can just listen when I get home tonight and let you know though.

mikebise · #**192** 04-06-2010, 12:34 PM

I downloaded the "Valentine" version, so maybe it's the other?

Thanks for checking later!!!!

Maureen traded, just like all the other fans, back in the Street Angel days. She & I & Debbie were on the phone a lot, tracking down new Street Angel shows & sending them to one another. Maureen's last name was Loftus, & she lived in Yonkers at the time.

Maureen had some sort of windfall a few years later. Someone in her family died, leaving her with a big wad of bills. She met Frank Harding, & bought dozens of hours' worth of soundboard cassette tapes of Fleetwood Mac concerts. So it's after she paid a big sum for this stuff that she started selling it on eBay & her own business site (Devilwoman).

Debbie & I were annoyed that Maureen had become so crass & venal, but we were even more annoyed by the fact that the soundboards she sold were heavily edited by her: songs were deleted, intros & outros were abruptly cut out, & stupid labels were stuck all over the original CDs, thereby rendering them unplayable after about a year. She also frequently misidentified concerts & other recordings: she originally sold the Oklahoma City 1977 soundboard as "Oakland." I posted on Usenet that it was actually Oklahoma City.

Maureen sent me the actual cassette of the March 15, 1980, gig, which is why we have that recording unedited. She had more soundboards that she never released into the fan stream, too, which is kind of irksome. She released only a few tracks of some shows, like Atlanta 1980, which is why we have only three songs ("Sisters," "Go Your Own Way," & "Songbird") from that soundboard.

One of our Ledgies here, DavidMN, also met Harding at some point, & got hold of the Mobile 1980 soundboard. But David has the scoop on that.

I know I say "I'll check later" a lot and sometimes I don't but hopefully you understand when I'm at work I don't have my stuff to upload and then once I get home things are crazy but I promise I will check this!
