I'm really pleased that my guess that most of the words would be written by Stevie and the music by Dave was right! They're a fantastic musical partnership, but, it makes me really happy to know that Stevie wrote the lionshare of the lyrics; because the lyrics on this album kick ass. She's firmly kept her songwriting crown with this album

Album credited as being produced by Dave Stewart & Glen Ballard except:
For What It's Worth: Mike Campbell; Dave & Glen
Cheaper Than Free: Dave & Mike Bradford

Album mixed by Chris Lord-Alge

The songwriting credits are as follows:

Secret Love (Stevie)
For What It's Worth (Words: Stevie; Music: Mike Campbell)
In Your Dreams (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
Wide Sargasso Sea (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
New Orleans (Words: Stevie; Music: Neale Heywood)
Moonlight (Stevie)
Annabel Lee (Music: Stevie; Words adapted from the Edgar Allan Poe poem "Annabel Lee"; Interlude Waddy Wachtel)
Soldier's Angel (Stevie)
Everybody Loves You (Words: Stevie & Dave; Music: Dave)
Ghosts Are Gone (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
You May Be The One (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
Italian Summer (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)
Cheaper Than Free (Words: Stevie; Music: Dave Stewart)

Mick is credited as one of four drummers, but songs are not specified.
Dave is credited as the creative director and one of the photographers.
Lindsey and Steve Real (vocal coach) both score thank you's.

Album is dedicated to Sara ("my sweet girl, not a day goes by that I don't think about you... S.N.)

There are eight shots of Stevie on her own in the booklet, including the front cover, with four of them in the centre pages, plus two with the girls. There are also six small "action" shots of Stevie in the bottom right-hand corner of successive pages that are in motion when flicked through. There is a great photo of Stevie with Dave on the back cover. Stevie is featured on the actual disc holding the owl from the sizzle reel. Stevie looks great in most of the shots, but there are a couple of dodgy ones that I would have omitted. There are no photos of the studio or recording process which surprised me. I thought at least the "lucky" pic of Stevie and Dave placed on the console throughout the making of the album would have been included.

That's all I can think of for now...

Probably a stupid question, but are the lyrics in the booklet?

Jamie, I think you're correct regarding Sara - the photograph included directly underneath the dedication is of a young, pale girl with blonde hair. I didn't recognise her as anyone from Stevie's camp so I guess this must be the person you've mentioned.
Yes the lyrics are included and interspersed with the photos I mentioned earlier in this thread. I think you'll be very happy with the whole package, not to mention how superb the album sounds on a proper home stereo - you're bound to be knocked out!

As long as there are fewer dedications than in TOSOTM booklet. I'm still sore that I'm the only person that album was not dedicated to.

Thanks.

Yeah, someone on this site was saying that the CD will have better sound quality than the internet stream, so that's something to look forward to.

Well seriously Jake, I was surprised at how minimal and understated the liner notes are - there are few people thanked and only the one dedication (to Sara). It's almost as if Stevie has taken stock and decided to downplay the whole superstar/melodrama act.

Well I'm an Aussie still hanging out lol.. I ordered the deluxe though so I'm thinking they'll come later if yours was the standard edition

Any chance of an upload anywhere?

djdanii · #24 04-28-2011, 09:18 AM

I'm in the US and I'll probably get the CD on Sunday. The record store by my house actually kinda "cheats" and puts out new releases on the Sunday before the official release. Then my pre-ordered copy I will give to my Mother for Mother's Day as I did with Trouble In Shangri La and Crystal Visions. Thanks to her I'm a Stevie fan as I grew up with Stevie. Though when I was younger I never put 2 and 2 together that Stevie was also in Fleetwood Mac, as I wondered how come both women sounds so alike. hehe

Phil · #25 04-28-2011, 09:26 AM

Well I have no objection to uploading the audio, but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate to do so given that this is a commercial release. What's the protocol here?

Pretty sure that if it's commercially available, sharing an upload is a huge no no.

Stevie's~Prince · #27 04-28-2011, 10:29 AM

Perhaps not through the ledge? I'm sure I/we can hold out if it'll cause drama

It's just the need to play it in the car/on a good stereo

SapphireSister · #28 04-28-2011, 11:27 AM

I must admit one reason I do not think this will ever be my favorite Stevie album is the simple fact that only 4 of the songs are truly hers. I'm thrilled that she is able to co-write great songs with Dave but I still distinguish songs by whether or not Stevie wrote the lyrics and music. I'm not saying I like those songs less but the ones only she wrote will always be a little more special to me.

Phil, I have a question. Did your CD have a sticker outside the shrinkwrap that announced what the singles were going to be?

Like when TISL came out, there was a little brown sticker on it that said, "Featuring Every Day, Planets Of The Universe, Sorcerer".

I was wondering if the new CD had one of those stickers. It would be nice to know what/if Warners is planning for future single releases.

Looks like Secret Love & Cheaper Than Free
