"Smile At You" ~ 1999 Info

[mikebise]

Hey, I knew I had seen "Smile At You" listed as newly recorded in 1999 before, and now I found it! There it is, right in the middle of other songs that were demoed for Trouble In Shangri-la, and possibly fully-recorded. From the U.S. Copyright Office:

Stevie said she pulled off a few finished songs from TISL in order to give to FM for their new album. And we know that "Thrown Down" was fully-recorded for TISL, not just a demo. So, perhaps full TISL versions of "Smile At You" and "Not Make Believe" are IN THE VAULT.

I wonder how much BETTER the TISL version would have been than LB's abortion version on Say You Will (although I like Stevie's vocals on it).

Oh, and look: "Bombay Sapphire" doesn't have an "s" at the end. It is about the gin, Stevie! You liar...
