Hey, in all this craziness, have there been any new versions of Castaway unearthed. The one from the Uncirculated Rumors is the one I'm thinking of, with the organ and drum machine and Stevie doing the mulitracked vocals? That's my ultimate favorite version of that song and the recording sounds like a cassette tape that had been left underwater for a few days and then run over by a car. Just wonderin'.

I bid about $100+ on each batch, but all four sold for about $230 each.

FYI: I believe this material is from storage at Rumbo Recorders, which was sold in 2009, and not some random storage locker/warehouse.

And in eBay scumbag news: this "Secret Love" promo CD is a fake, but people are falling for it. It's a homemade CDr. The seller has other items that are also fake. He also screams at the reader in every listing: THIS STUFF IS NOT FAKE!!!

Oh I was wondering how this stuff is popping up on ebay.

This reminds me of the Ebayer with the Stevie Nicks Jim Ladd Innerview cdr's.nevermind he had to send me another copy of one set because of a corrupt burn on cd 1.

anyway I'm glad I received my Stevie Nicks Source radio show lps in mint condition.

That would make a lot more sense.

The seller just re-posted the five or six individual cassettes and DAT tapes that didn't sell. They are posted individually for $25,"Buy It Now" each.

I noticed that. What an odd marketing strategy. If they didn't sell for $9.99 the first time then jack the price to $25 and buy them right away?

I can *sort of* see the strategy in this - many people don't like the stressful hit and miss of bidding, and will gladly pay more for a sure thing.

It's too bad there just isn't anything interesting left.

So I got the two tapes I won in the eBay auction yesterday. The first is Imperial Hotel with two alternate vocals with different lyrics, plenty of vibrato in the voice, a bunch of whoa, well, and baby and they're clear as a bell.
The second is three different mixes of HAEWAFY and the original monitor mix which sounds crisper and clearer to me. My favorite of these is what the engineer refers to as the "symphonic mix" where Stevie sings harmony with herself and when she finishes singing the bridge (world) it sounds like there is a chorus singing with her. It's really beautiful. All of the mixes are different with different endings, etc.
I've been awaiting response from the person who was going to transfer these to digital for me. I may have to get it done locally or if there is anyone out there who can do it (and I trust you to do it right) please let me know. I am very anxious for everyone to hear these. You are going to love them, I'm sure.

That's awesome and very generous of you.. Looking forward to some new "old" Stevie!

You know, this is what being a Stevie fan is all about. I was on a Cyndi Lauper message board (my other favorite singer) and the people there were so mean. And if you were new and asked a question you'd either get ignored or have your head bitten off. And as far as trading concert recordings or boots, just forget it. These people were vicious. The only thing I can ever share are remixes that I do because I never have anything that everyone else doesn't already have but I'm happy to share them. And nothing makes me happier then when someone shares them as part of a collection because I know people like them enough to share. So the fact that you're willing to not only buy these with your own money but to have them transferred and share them with us is such a sweet and kind gesture. Thank you so much in advance. To quote Stevie... I Can't Wait.

That's a bummer about Cyndi's fans. She is a huge talent. I just got lucky in that I was around when this literal gold rush of Stevie material became available through trading, torrent sites, etc. Without some of the folks on this board I wouldn't have a whole lot of the stuff I have now. Back in 2001 when I won the Rhiannon print she auctioned off for charity she wrote "Thank you for keeping the dream alive." Well to me the dream is the music and if we keep sharing it we are keeping it alive. Okay. That's my sappy speech for the night.
