Maybe she'll do these few summer casino shows, release the album, then do an arena or smaller theater tour in the fall?

I just can't wait for this album!!!

The NicksLive blog made a great rundown of all of Dave's tweets since the very first one in February:

And Dave Stewart saw it and responded on Twitter:

@Nickslive "good work spot on , you won't be disappointed

"

I'm thinking a Christmas release!!

I always thought they should release an album around that time. Has Stevie or FM ever? I just think that they'd sell more because in addition to the fans, others might buy it as gifts for people who may not have bought it for themselves.

not sure on the date history for FM and Stevie releases but I would think an album strategically released before Christmas would fair better than one released at some other time of the year.

Stevie released Rock A Little in November 1985. Of course, I bought it the day it was released, but I also got 4 copies of it on cassette for X-Mas 1985 since everyone knew I was a Stevie Fan.

The reason Stevie didn't release Trouble in Shangri-la until May 2001, even though it was mixed, mastered and finished at the end of Summer 2000, was because she felt that albums released before Christmas get "lost" after the Holidays. They sell well as gifts but get forgotten after X-Mas, she said in an interview.

That's not to say she wouldn't release a Fall or Winter 2010 album ~ this all seems to be NEW for Stevie, so maybe her reasoning on release dates has changed!

BTW, FM w/Stevie released several albums in November:
Greatest Hits 1988
The Chain 1992
Very Best Of 2002

Maybe, even though I'm not sure her statement is actually true. Do winter albums magically come off the shelf after Christmas? Even though it does make sense to release especially greatest hits albums (as shown above) near the holidays.

He confirmed that he and Stevie are working on an album, and said that it is being done "in a very new way". [47] On March 16, 2010, Dave reported on his Twitter that he and Stevie are now recording songs together.

It's all true and it's great news!!

Wow, that's really interesting. She definitely sat on that record for awhile.

I remember in one interview Stevie gave after 9/11 where she talked about how any music released during the summer of 2001 was lost due to the attacks, so it's sad that her plan to avoid being lost after the Christmas rush was overshadowed by a national tragedy.

mikebise · #**282** 06-07-2010, 07:26 PM

Yeah, that was her 2005 interview with Jim Ladd talking about her then-upcoming Las Vegas shows. She said she had a much longer tour planned (world?), but that 9/11 pretty much killed that idea, and her "masterpiece" (TISL) was understandably eclipsed by the nation's tragedy.

Stevie couldn't have planned for 9/11, of course. She released the album when she felt was the right timing, and it certainly was a hit. But it appears she may have had more long-reaching plans for the album/tour.

Does anyone have that interview? Jim Ladd from 2005? I've looked up and down for it, never found it...
