Uh, this is where my husband and I definitely disagree! I love all of the songs, especially Blue Denim, Greta (okay, I like the RAL demo best), Street Angel (check out Jeremy's remix!), Just Like a Woman (brilliant), Kick It, and of course, Jane.

I don't think IAF or G&G are sickeningly sweet; UL, on the other hand, goes beyond sickeningly sweet. It's not sweet at all, it's just naive and codependent.

I don't really hear much different between the master mixes and the released album, other than minor things which don't have much impact for me, with the exception of Love Is Like A River - I definitely prefer the released version of this song.

Oh, I hear huge differences. I'd have to go back and listen to both to be able to give a play-by-play, but one that really sticks out is the title track. The album version has this hideous electric guitar that cuts into the song and destroys the mood. On the master mix, it's either missing completely, or way down in the mix.

And for the record, I don't buy the whole "I don't like that part of my life" story when it comes to why these songs are not performed live.

I'm not sure if I believe it either. Also, this is what Waddy said, not Stevie. I'm not saying he's lying, he just may have misinterpreted something she said. Or something. If Stevie did say it, it's just an excuse & I think there's another reason.

I know you don't! But I do...

And you're right - it is naive and codependent, and now that you say that I'll never really hear it the same way again.

I really, really want to hear this Street Angel version of I Call You Missing.

Thank you for saying a few things I've been dying to say myself for years! My first concert was the Street Angel tour, and I have a cassette from that show and I'd cringe every time it came to the part in between with my 55 year old aunt screaming, "Unconditional Love! UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!". I could have died... Sorry dear aunty...

I don't think I've ever heard that one. I hope somebody has it.

I don't think any of the regulars here have. mikebise says a woman in San Antonio has it but won't share it. Not sure who else might be sitting on it.

She sounds like a c-word we just can't bring ourselves to say, or she's not telling the truth?

I suppose she could've been lying, but mikebise seems pretty convinced she was telling the truth. And apparently the song is on the original tracklist that was turned in to the record company in '93.

She played it for me over the phone. It exists.

Over the phone, what a tease! I hope this c-word (clam) opens up and shares!

Oh, so you've heard it? What's it like? Is it very different from the RAL outtake?

mikebise · #73 04-20-2011, 09:41 AM

It was 1995, but I remember Stevie more prominent, not singing so much with the girls. I don't remember the music at all, but it was clear, and not the Rock A Little version. She also played the Street Angel "If You Were My Love" for me, and this was 2 years before it leaked to everyone in 1997. So, this was the real thing.

In 1999, she got back in contact with me, all nicey. And she had many new 1996~1999 demos Stevie had done as well. One was "Song For an American Prince", written about JFK, Jr.'s death that year. I didn't hear it, but she read lyrics. I believe it.

But she never sent me anything.

UGH!! Who is this woman? Does anyone know of anyone else who has this? She can't be the only one who has it.

She actually had a gang of friends, a cabal of sorts. In 1995, they would joke on the Stevie AOL Board about their Stevie rarities and how much only THEY deserved them.

She and her friends also came up with some weird scheme in 1998 to trick me out of some stuff. I think I've blocked it out now. She was in San Antonio, and one of her buddies was in Dallas, like me, and they had this elabourate thing going on to trick me. Maybe the whole "Do I Bring You Down?" hoax. But they were nasty.
