Stevie's 1988 Album Plans

Yes, all of those songs have been leaked, being on the Masters Reels. "Tragedy Of One's Own Soul" is in a different form as "Lily Girl", having many of the same lyrics and the exact same musical track.

There are several vocal takes of "Dial The Number", seven, I believe. (The song's music is co-written by Sandy Stewart and was recorded originally for The Wild Heart).

"Don't Treat Me Like A Stranger" is on the Masters in a shorter version, complete with backing vocals (including that male vocalist from "Real Tears"!). There is also a 7-minute version on the Masters with many more lyrics.

The writing on the Reels indicated these songs were recorded in February 1988, and lists the producer as Jimmy Iovine. Weird, huh? Maybe the producer listing was an old one leftover?
