The Bonus Tracks!!!!!!!!!? - Page 6

Dodfather · #76 04-06-2011, 02:50 AM

Sorry guys but am I the ionly one who gets a little annoyed at the different bonus tracks for difefrent places?

The UK release date has been confirmed as at the end of 27 June so as a good Stevie fan I preordered from amazon.com so I could get the album before then and as close to May 3rd as possible, only to find that I'll either have to buy a second copy of the album on 27 June to get the bonus track or cancel my preorder and just wait until then (which is not an option because I'd hate to know a Stevie album is out there and not have it!)

I know it was my choice to preorder and I know it's not unusual to have different bonus tracks for different places but it's always a pratice that's bothered me.

I'm really excited that the UK Bonus Track is My Hearth though! I also don't mean to drag this thread but ya know...grrrr!

You act as if Cheaper than Free is going to be worse song from the album and it's one of the first releases. Sounds like a hit to me.

Madness. Like putting Silver Springs between Songbird and the Chain (aka formerly the greatest vinyl flip in history of music).

I think Lindsey did the right thing with Silver Springs. That was not a Rumours song. It belonged on Tusk. I love the song and know why Stevie was hurt, but that song has a different energy.

^This. I don't know if I'd even put it on Rumours. I think Silver Springs became much more powerful because of her choice to resurrect it for The Dance. I think had it been on Rumours or Tusk, it wouldn't hold near the power and significance it does today.

I totally agree with you and I think the version they did for the Dance was actually better then the original.

Gotta disagree completely there. Nothing Ever Changes is a brilliant song, she has so much passion and anger in her vocals; the latter half of the album would have been worse without it. NEC-SOB-BATB flows together reallllly well.

Violet and Blue is a brilliant song, but, remove Gate and Garden, not Nothing Ever Changes

I really love the original Silver Springs too, and think it works really well inbetween Songbird and The Chain, but that's just me.

I really like Cheaper than Free, so far anyway, there's just something about it that really clicks with me. I think I'm starting to love the idea of it as the album closer, I just can't explain why.

I dunno, I think I'm changing my mind about My Heart. I've always liked it and thought it should've been put on TISL over That Made Me Stronger. I do hope this is a different version of it (and I'm sure it is) - it'll be interesting to see how much it's changed from the TISL outtake.

Hear hear!

As for Silver Springs, I think the original order with it following Go Your Own Way and preceding The Chain was spot on. With Songbird closing the album after Gold Dust Woman. I believe this is the way the Rumours DVD-audio is.

I understand the point made about "Mirror Mirror" being used back in 1994 but that was a b-side, not a bonus album track. For the record, I consider "My Heart" to be one of the worst things she's done so I would hope that a new version would be an improvement - I'm just glad it wasn't considered decent enough to make the final cut, which is encouraging in regard to the album.

Phil, I agree, all signs point to this being the Mike C. track Stevie dug back out that he talked about last summer. And because of the songs position on the HMV site track listing -smack dab in the middle - point to it being re-recorded, which also fits Mike's story of them going back in and making it better.

My Heart is an ok song for me, I was happy to get it as a completed outtake from TISL, and it arguably could have/should have replaced That Made Me Stronger, but I rarely listen to it, kinda like TMMS. It has room to improve. IMO the chorus is what needs the most improving. It just sorta lays there, and goes nowhere. The verses and the finale are my favorite parts of the TISL version. So I'll be thrilled, if the song is greatly improved upon. But I'll never turn away a bonus song, bring them on, the more the better. At this stage in Stevie's recording career, I'll take what I can get

So this song could also be the 2nd Mike C track, along with "For What It's Worth", meaning that only 1 MC/SN track made the official track list. Hmmmmm.....can't wait to devour the liner notes.
