If I could remember – Mike please correct me if I'm wrong– GOLD DUST WOMAN on the 8-Track goes over 5 minutes and comes to a complete stop - no fades - it is the most COMPLETE song released and one can hear - clearly - all the precious sounds almost lost in all other versions released.

When you hear this version - you will know you found GOLD.

Yep, no fades at all! There's NO way to mistake this version with others. I've described the rolling bass ending, which is so distinctive. Also, all the crazy stuff going on at the ending is so clear and distinct.

I've never heard this version on any tape of "demos" or outtakes from Rumours, none, nowhere.

any known version of GDW that you described on any of the "demos", "outtakes", etc versions of "Rumours"

Still checking through CDR's I received from Sara M. (Owner of the "Stevie Nicks Underground") and thus far no luck...Will keep checking to see if it may be on one of the discs I received from her years ago, because if anyone would have had it, Sara M. would've been the one (Edit: all the various versions of GDW are the similar, but not the one on the 8-track tape)

Edit: Trying to get my late-Mother's 8 track player running...So far it's 'somewhat' working...The 8-track tape's head is degraded, but I have it playing...

Edit 2: I'm officially annoyed now...listened to the 8 Track tape I own (WB M8 3010) and the head is so degraded that you could hear the other tracks through one speaker and another track through the other...but it does stop in a manner that was described with John's bass. Tried turning the balance to the speaker with only GDW playing, but the degraded head on the cartridge still made the other track tracks somewhat audible (aka 'bleeding') through the one speaker.

Damn!!!

I've had this version floating around my library pretty much from when i first discovered Stevie... I've never been able to match it to any particular released version, and sounds too clean to be a vinyl rip... Could this be it, and if not, has anyone any idea where it's from?

maybe?

No idea. Why don't you make it easy and put it on mediafire? (My iMac won't play your link).

I think I'll buy the 8-track of RUMOURS from e-bay... now to find a player.... I MUST hear this version again!

I actually did this (buy one from eBay b/c of this thread). I'm close to getting an 8-track player. I want to hear this as well. And it better be different after all this -

mikebise · #42 02-23-2011, 03:57 PM

Just saying it could even make it happen!

Oops! Wrong gay icon!!!

Question(s)
... the very first Rumours CD I bought in 1987 has no fades on GDW... not at the beginning, and not at the end. The song ends with a complete stop having the same volume as the rest of the song. However, a CD copy of Rumours I bought in 1994 has the fade in at the beginning and the fade out at the end.

Could my cd from 1987 have the same version as the 8-track version? Is there only one version out there that does not fade out?

Does anyone know of any other version other than the 8-track version that does not fade but comes to a complete stop? Is it possible that my 1987 cd (which looks pretty 'official') was sourced from an 8-track or from the same master as was used for the 8-track?

Did anyone else buy a copy of Rumours in 1987?!

I wish I could post it, but I'm totally old and dumb and don't know how!

mikebise · #44 02-23-2011, 04:42 PM

Yes, I bought that 1987 CD of Rumours, and, no, it's not the same mix. It ends, but not the same way as the 8-track version, unfortunately. No deep bass roll. I was very disappointed when I bought that CD in 1987, since I'd had my 8-track player in my Blazer until July 1986, when I sold the Blazer. So, that version of "Gold Dust Woman" was still very clear in my mind.

I dug in my basement and found TWO copies of Rumours on 8 Track (along with the White album, Bella Donna and Wild Heart) and am now working on finding a 8 track player. I am going to run it through my vintage Yamaha amp and then into my Macbook to get a clean, high QUALITY/ lossless and unmolested copy.
