What is it that fans see it this?
Help me fall in love with it...its probably the only Stevie song i will hit the skip button on.
I mean ...if i can find joy in Stevie covering "I Still Miss Someone" or even "Jane"(which i know both get a lot of hate) maybe im missing something?

It is the vocal that everyone loves. And the lyrics are very "Stevie Nicks" even tho she didn't write it. I am not a huge fan of it either since she didn't write it and the song itself is too show-tune and not captivating. But I can enjoy it every now and then.

Does anyone out there have an mp3 of "Call On Me For Magic" that they could post? I can't believe I've never heard of this song before and I'm dying to add it to my iPod! Please???

It was written by the guy who wrote "Every Day" and Stevie recorded it for him, with a potential home for the song being on a soundtrack. I'm sure it's in the "Demos/Live/Requests" thread for downloading.

Mike, I posted that "24 Karat" in the "Demos/Live/Requests" thread back in April. A couple, actually. I have 7 completely different versions all of excellent quality, all from the Masters.

Thanks for the info! I've been through the entire Demos/Requests thread and I've not seen it on there (or anywhere!) Is there anyone out there who could post an mp3? I'd be eternally grateful! I thought I had a pretty complete collection of Stevie demos, but this one is new to me!

I'm using the versions from Street Blue Angel which do not fade! Yay!!! Same show, no fading!! Yay!!!

"Storms" - Both this and "Beautiful Child" are not the mixes from The Chain, but longer unreleased mixes from the Masters. Both have lots of EXTRA overdubs by Stevie!!!!

I will try to post things this weekend. "24 Karat" would not upload to mediafire last night ~ 3 tries!!! Arghh!!!!

i think you should post ALL this unreleased stuff you are using...like Street Blue Angel what is that???

maybe someone else has the '24 Karat' masters to post???

Mike, i found a '24 Karat' posted by KarmaContestant in the Master Reels thread ...here:

http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...Masters&page=4

but i didnt hear the
"Ladies and gentlemen,
From the studio on the water...
intro on this one.

Also there was one posted by you, from April...but the link didnt work. This must be the post you were referring to.

[blinker12]

Mike, when you finalize the track listing for these, would you consider posting them in their entirety on mediafire or something?
They look amazing!

i think the lyrics are too "Stevie Nicks". And its so slow. She does sing well on it, i just dont like the lyrics or the melody.

I'll upload this tonight if no one beats me to it - I can include the whole disc it came from as a zipped file as well. I have a Christmas party to go to after work, but I might be able to squeeze it in between getting home and leaving again. It's not one of the numbered BT masters, but something that started circulating just before those. Based on the ordering of the tracks, I think it was a merger of a couple different reels, maybe from the work Maureen did (Mikebise could confirm that maybe?).

Here is the track listing; also for those who want to know ahead of time - I did not get a lossless copy when I traded for this back in 2003ish. Sorry!

24 Karat Gold 1/80 with Still Of The Night 4/4/80 Bella Donna Master Reel
1....Outside The Rain - 4/4/80 (7:19) Extended Outtake
2....24 Karat Gold - 1/80, vocal track 23 - (8:14) "I myself, see myself differently…than the one that only you see…"
3....24 Karat Gold - 1/80, same as above, no intro, w/vocal overlays (6:36)
4....24 Karat Gold - Session #3, vocal overlays (5:32)
5....24 Karat Gold - Session #4, false start w/intro (0:27)
6....The Dealer - rough studio clip w/dialogue (1:42) Stevie speaks regarding the song being given away
7....How Still My Love - 4/4/80 #1, partial (0:22) piano demo
8....How Still My Love - 4/4/80 #2, (7:02) piano demo. With backup "oohs"
9....How Still My Love - 4/4/80 #3, (7:02) piano demo - multiple vocal overlays, and backup vocals.
10....How Still My Love - 4/4/80 #4, (7:08) piano demo. Similar to #3, but with less vocal overlays.
11....24 Karat Gold - no date, mono backup vocal track (3:37)
12....24 Karat Gold - no date, mono backup vocal track (1:55)
13....24 Karat Gold - LONG intro (10:12)

please please please

oh and i forgot to mention...i dont have GDW audio from The Dance. can someone hook me up either here on in the demo/unreleased thread.

[mikebise]

Yeah, the $800,000 Condominiums version of "24 Karat" is the 8:14 version, edited to 7:04. There's a false start and junk at the end. (None of the song is missing in my edit, just wasted space, which is not necessary for an anthology.) The lady who had our Masters baked and transfered always marked if something was from Maureen's stuff, and this Reel isn't labeled as such. I guess, like you said, it was one of those early floaters,( like "Gold And Braid", "Julia", "The Dealer", "Castaway" and "Rhiannon", although we had several Master Reels with those on them as well.) But the sound on this is mind-numbingly fantastic!

One of the Masters we actually did do has "24 Karat", starts with the "Monitor mix"-labeled piano-only demo which is just amazing (6:14). Stevie's voice is very chilling on it! "The wind hung on! Yeah!" Then several false starts. Then one with many, many Stevie overdubs (6:33) and then another with different overdubs and guitar! (7:41). "If you choose to remember the Queen of Chance!!! It's just ME!!! And the moon hung on..."

Then 4 versions of "Kind Of Woman", including an unedited full-ending album version, no fade. All amazing! (From March 20, 1981).

Then more Heartbreakers studio work on "Gypsy", all labeled "April 3, 1980". There are 2 very good versions in all that studio stuff, lengths of 5:16 and 5:54.

Mike, the 1997 live version of "Gold Dust Woman" from The Dance is commercially available on iTunes and Amazon, so I don't wanna break any forum rules and get banned.

[UndoingTheLaces]

I'm still hoping you'll answer my question about which version of Storms that is.
