I don't know if she intended for any of them to be on Bella Donna once the film was put on hold (and eventually scrapped). None of those songs are in the Masters for Bella Donna (or Tusk), but some are in separate Masters from March 1978, just as piano versions.

That's interesting. I've heard SN talk about a "Rhiannon" movie, but I didn't know that concrete plans had ever been made - she's talked about all kinds of stuff she wanted to do (blues album, children's book, cartoon, etc.), but I think they were more-or-less just her talking out her @$$, and I kind of figured this Rhiannon movie was another one. Interesting.

I have a ****load of demos but have had some trouble figuring out which songs were intended for Tusk, which for BD, WH, RAL, and TOSOTM. There seems to be some conflicting info. I'd love for somebody to just post a list of what songs were intended for what project.

When Stevie was first signed in 1978 as a solo artist, Rhiannon was to be the movie she would star in as well as provide the soundtrack. This was an actual "go" at the time. The first one of her seven contracted solo albums would be the Rhiannon soundtrack. As those plans started floundering (Stevie said she realized she hated being filmed), Stevie then started work on a rock and roll solo album. The earliest sessions in Early 1980 were with the Heartbreakers and included "The Dealer", "Starshine", "Outside The Rain", "Gypsy", "Sanctuary", "Castaway" and "Christian" (never heard a version with the Heartbreakers, though), but none of these recordings made the cut. In Early 1981, "The Dealer" and "Outside The Rain" were re-recorded with the Heartbreakers, with one version of "Outside The Rain" making the final album, now entitled Bella Donna.

I've figured out pretty well which songs I think go where, but everyone disagrees about one thing or another... as we should. We learn more about Stevie's music when we challenge each other.

Demos/outtakes I have listed as from or for Bella Donna:
24 Karat Gold
All the King's Horses
Baby Doll
Belle Fleur (I have a piano demo and a "studio" demo)
Blue Lamp
Castaway
Christian (Spinning Wheels)
The Dealer (must be 500 versions of this; some are labeled as from the Tusk sessions)
Gold and Braid
Gypsy (100 versions of this, and I'm never sure which are FM and which are BD)
If You Ever Did Believe
If You Were My Love (I have a piano demo and the "tropical" one from SA)
Julia (400 versions of this; I know SN tried it again for WH, but I've never heard a WH version)
Mystical Love (I have a couple versions of this)
Sanctuary
Sleeping Angel
Starshine

**also, there are like 1,000 versions of Lady from the Mountain; most of the ones I've heard have been from the RAL sessions, but did she try this one out for BD, too?

[mikebise]

The version of "Julia" from The Wild Heart has been posted in this thread. Not great sound quality, unfortunately.

"The Dealer" was recorded for Tusk as well as Bella Donna.

"Lady From The Mountains" was recorded tons and tons it seems between 1978-1981, in addition to the sessions for Rock A Little in 1984.

Are both versions floating? I think the one I have is with the Heartbreakers. Is there one with FM?

I think it's premature to assume that anything Stevie recorded within a specific time frame was necessarily intended for an album at that point. Stevie & her friend Tom built a studio & recorded for long stretches, not always with a specific project in mind. I wouldn't link "All the King's Horses" (which appears to have been done several times--with Tom on bass--in & around spring/summer 1980) to "Bella Donna" solely because the time frame fits. Did Stevie ever mention it as a possibility for her first solo album?

The Dealer (must be 500 versions of this; some are labeled as from the Tusk sessions)

Again, precarious to label these "Tusk sessions," which explicitly means that Fleetwood Mac tracked them at the Village Recorder. But I don't recall hearing any recording of this one performed by Fleetwood Mac. I do recall hearing some recordings of it with Stevie playing Christine's electronic piano (which Chris was using to track for "Tusk"--Stevie would not have had her own) & with Mick even playing drums, but that doesn't mean the band was tracking it or that it was ever on the running list for the band's album. Same goes for Mick & Stevie & undisclosed others on "Watchdevil."

Gypsy (100 versions of this, and I'm never sure which are FM and which are BD)

Post your questionable recordings of this, & I'll tell you whether Fleetwood Mac is doing it or not. As instrumentalists, they're easy to identify.

I"m so upset right now. My US Festival CD is missing! I've spent the last hour searching high and low and nothing . I'm sure it will show up but if someone wants to post the entire show I'd appreciate it greatly.

Jones Beach 94'
Chatty Kathy! She sounds sooo much better after the Klonipin detox!

Alice - Houston 89'
I have 3 TOSOTM shows but this Alice was the best quality and one of my personal favorites. I don't even listen to the album version, only this one! And I wasn't a big fan of the song until I heard this version live. Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!

Oh my god, as far as I know, this has never been circulated. How did you find it, may I ask?

I know one or two people that have searched and searched for Stevie singing Black Velvet.

David, thanks for sharing all that info.

Here's the version of The Dealer I have . Is this the Heartbreakers?
