The original Street Angel mixes?

[Morgana]

Mike: I truly appreciate the time you and others involved have put into refining the demos and then sharing them. I was reading the history behind the songs and find it really fascinating, it's those little things you pieced together. Through the sharing of the demos and songs from the Street Angel era I have grown to actually like the album more and more as I listen to them. I never really thought much about SA, I much preferred Bella Donna, Wild Heart, and TIS. It seemed to me that Stevie lost something with the SA album. I think it was momentum, but not so much from the Klonopin but from like an inner shift in her direction. In my humble opinion it seemed like Stevie had to switch up to keep going in her career and she didn't know which way to go, it seemed like she had sold a part of her, "Wild Heart!"

I hope you mother is doing better, your in my thoughts and prayers!

Can you imagine the INSANITY of those sessions? Also, the rumor was that someone shot video as well?!? I can't.

If anyone can find this stuff, I have confidence that it will be you Mike.

Wow...vids of the Wild Heart?

Thank you, Morgana! Mom is doing much better and we are in a great routine now with her therapy.

"Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" - Original Street Angel version 02/24/1993 (Produced by Glyn Johns)

Interesting original track list! I could totally hear "Street Angel" going into "If You Were My Love".

So basically if we take what we have off ENCHANTED that's the opening 3 song sequence of Street Angel?

This label BBR has been reissuing The Pointer Sisters albums....they are reissuing their album BREAK OUT as a 2 disc set -- the original 1983 release then the more famous remixed 1984 version.

Would a 2 disc Street Angel with the original and the revised be amazing?

Well, the evidence from the Street Angel Work Tapes would suggest that by January 1994, the new versions had already been recorded/remixed, so it would have been the album versions, not the Glyn Johns mixes from Enchanted. I suspect after leaving Klonopin detox in January 1994, Stevie and Atlantic were just trying to find the right time to release the album (that Summer hang-up Stevie has), maybe tweaking it a little. But the new versions were recorded/remixed in second-half 1993 before the detox, despite Stevie's stories.

We've only heard the Glyn Johns mix of "If You Were My Love"~ I wonder what it sounded like after adding in Waddy, Peter Michael, etc.

I swear I'm having a sugar rush from all this musical candy. Thank you!

Somewhere I remember reading an interview with Stevie where she talked about how they were video taping the recording of the album as part of the Wild Heart project. It doesn't take too much imagination to figure out why those tapes were never released. In some vault somewhere...

Note that this version of "Listen To the Rain" is very different, not just a remix. Listen to Stevie yelling, "Well, take it! Take it!" near the end.

I had no idea that Listen To The Rain was slated to be a single from Timespace! That's interesting. Mike, thanks so much for sharing this!

Single choices changed often, with "Blue Denim" listed as the first single for Street Angel on Atlantic's upcoming release list in January 1994, then "Unconditional Love" again, then "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind". I never saw anything about "Listen To The Rain" being a single, but I could have easily missed that.

In January 1994, Atlantic released the track listing for the March release of Street Angel:

Blue Denim
Rose Garden
Street Angel
If You Were My Love
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
Greta
Inspiration
I Call You Missing
Destiny
Listen To The Rain
Just Like A Woman
Unconditional Love
Love Is Like A River
Playing In God's Garden

No "Jane" or "Kick It" (or "Thousand Days").

[/B]

No "Docklands" either

Interesting sequence.

Mike, is "I Call You Missing" anywhere on the tapes? I'd like to try listening to SA in this running order but I don't have that song. However, looking at it though, I'm not sure about that running order - doesn't seem to flow that well, unlike the running order of IYD on the acetate version.

[mikebise]

Yep, no "Docklands" either! Forgot that!

"I Call You Missing" remains missing so far. Hopefully, one day it will show up.

*That's* the tracklisting on the cassette that sold last year that I keep bringing up!! Obviously i'm scarred for life at not winning that eBay bid But yeah..German lady won it,English man sold it,cheap price,kicking self etc.
I'm sorry I didn't message her and ask about it after she got it,I had her username on the guy's feedback profile..she was a total hoarder though,every item on her feedback was Stevie related..paper clippings,posters,keyrings,you name it she bids.Anyways,moving along..I need to get over it!

[UndoingTheLaces]

Wow, I'm totally having a newfound love of the Street Angel album because of this thread. Thank you so much for posting all this. I'm so amazed.

I have to admit, I can see why this version didn't make it to WH. The "Take 5" demo of Juila is so passionate and full of sass, you can really feel Stevie take on this persona. This version sounds so lifeless compared to that. But I'm so happy you posted it. I love hearing all the different incarnations of these songs. It's fascinating.

I remember that auction as well~ I was told about it too late. There was also a single cassette of "I Call You Missing" from the same seller.

That German frau is a definite hoarder, always has been, still is. (But she did NOT win the Rock A Little Motherload~ that is a guy in Austin who is ALSO a hoarder).

Are there any alternate versions of Kick It out there? That song has always been a favorite and it seems to have been added to album late in the game. Any info on this song?
