Stevie Rarities / Promo / Hard to Find Tracks

[KarmaContestant]

So, I tried to compile a complete list** of Stevie's hard-to-find tracks, mixes, edits, etc... For each, I listed the year it was released, the title it was released on in that year and the track running time. When a CD source is available, that is listed instead of the original vinyl source.

I left off anything that appeared on Enchanted, Timespace or Crystal Visions. Also, some of these tracks may still be in-print and available commercially (Like Touched By An Angel on the Sweet November soundtrack) but have not been released on a Stevie Nicks-exclusive release or require another purchase to aquire (like the iTunes exclusives).

I've probably missed a track or two, inevitably. I left off the 7"/Promo Remix of Whole Lotta Trouble because it appears on Timespace and Enchanted.

I Can't Wait (Edit of UK 12" Version) - 1990 - 4:59 - I Can't Wait (UK CD Single)


I have never heard this version!!

[mikebise]

Actually, the year for that "I Can't Wait" is 1991, as it was a UK single for TimeSpace. It's the Rock Remix, but fades early.

That's right; I'll edit the original post and correct that.

[jeffd8382]

Thanks, Mathew, for compiling this list.. great idea as it's easy to forget some of these exist! I've always loved Stevie's rendition of "At Last", but often forget about it.

[Johnny Stew]

Very thorough list -- great job! You might want to add the stereo mix of the "Stand Back" single edit too, alongside the mono version.

Also, isn't the remix of "I Can't Wait" on the Japanese 'A Hard Game To Play' EP, the same as the Extended Rock Mix from the 1986 US maxi-single (and 'Enchanted')?

Is the Blue Denim (remix) different from the version on Enchanted?

..Also, isn't the Rooms on Fire 7" featured on Enchanted as well?

:O That is possibly the greatest compilation tracklist I could ever want.I suddenly hate Crystal Visions a whole lot more now...WHY do they dump these ideas to opt for lesser ones that please the crowds?!

My problem is the single edits, which, in "Edge Of Seventeen"'s case, chops out a whole verse ~ blech. But the line-ups are great, so maybe it should have been two discs of complete versions, including all 21 of the tracks from the 2 releases, plus more singles and favourites like:

"Sometimes It's A Bitch"
"Whole Lotta Trouble"
"I Need To Know"
"Two Kinds Of Love"

Thanks! I'll edit and add these to my post.

Yes to the first question. The mix on Enchanted is the original master mix, which is different from the radio remix.

The version of Rooms On Fire that appears on Enchanted is the album version, I believe, but I'll have to check and make sure since you've asked.

It is indeed the same version, the Vocal/Rock Mix. Since it's on Enchanted I didn't list it. However, the Japanese EP also has the Dub/Rock Mix, which has not been released on a commercial CD in the U.S.

Will do, and thanks again. From what I can find, there is a promo 7" that has the mono and stereo single edits. There is a promo 12" that has only the mono edit, and then the album version on the other side.


Edit: Added the Storytellers release of Edge of Seventeen.

I have issues with this as well. If there were to be a 'rarities' CD release that used some of these tracks, I'd certainly not want to see radio edits that bring nothing new and only take away from the whole song. At the same time, it sure would be nice to finally have all of these single edits on CD for once.

This list could be split into a few categories:
*single mixes & edits
*non-album tracks, non-album remixes and non-album live cuts (true rarities)
*junk (stuff like edits of edits, early fades on non-single tracks, mono tracks and stuff that was on CD recently like the Planets mixes)

[mikebise]

The exlusive "Stand Back" from iTunes' Crystal Visions is a 2005 version, and says so, even though released in 2007. (Just for accuracy's sake).

Can someone post the KLOS 2001 "Stand Back"?
