I'm going to have to agree with the ledgie that asked if this was a joke.

Damn it, I joined to comment on the band and I'm getting sidetracked by so much unnecessary inane chatter.

Plus, while not as huge as BELLA DONNA, I would think the sales on THE WILD HEART still have to be pretty strong. The other three? Not so much (in fact, I'm actually surprised THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR and, especially, STREET ANGEL, weren't cut out long ago!).

Thanks for the info!

Where? Same place they've always been.

And if you're wondering "they" are not the
same sources for the threads you mentioned.
Those particular threads were....well....um...,
let's just say based on grey matter sources.

i'll just glean from your word-mincing that you don't have a credible source.

Instead of making you read through all my post (might cause brain damage),
you could look at the date I first posted the track listing and other info about
the upcoming release of "The Soundstage Sessions" and "Live In Chicago". As
you will read, many doubted that thread at first.

i didn't say your claim is false. but unless and until you cite a credible source, there's no point in speculating about remasters.

I guess these titles going out of print is a consequence of so many CD chain stores closing at the time. If there are less outlets to buy CDs, less stock is needed.
It seems that the record labels have realized that their business is suffering from deflation when you can get all of these titles for circa $1 used if you are lucky enough online. So they just downsize supply to allow the prices to recover, which is good for their business, but rather less for the public presence of an artist.
Even the Rolling Stones have titles running out at the time ...

Somehow, I fear that the labels are willing to go entirely digital, to save the cost of manufacturing and physical distribution. Mp3s are crappy sounding, so I oppose that.

Carrie if you're talking about the remasters quoted here, then
I'd say................................

But to the original point of this thread about Stevie's CD's being dropped
from active status, that part is fact.

I think MacMan knew what I meant.

btw, insomnia......what a cool thing.

talking about remasters was the general direction of the thread. that is what i was referring to. not your quote.

Well to get this thread back on track, the titles I listed are dropped from
active status. And yes, you can find most if not all those CD's for sale online.
How long, well that's anyone's guess.

Remasters? Remember it's not a lie if you believe it's true.

You're right about that.

Those titles being dropped should surprise no one. There are a handfull of record stores (or at least places where you can buy CD's still) and basically they usually only have the biggest selling catalog albums by an artist. I haven't seen the title listed in stores in a while. In fact "Street Angel" was already on the indangered list a long time ago, but was rescued by the release of "The Dance". Back around 1995/6 you could find "Street Angel" in the cut-out bin for 99 cents. Then once "The Dance" became a hit, it was pulled and put back into the $12.99 price range.
Itunes and other download sites (Rhapsody) have lots of titles that haven't been in print on CD for years. In some cases I've found titles that have never been on CD, they have only been released for download.

WILD HEART
ROCK A LITTLE
OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR
STREET ANGEL

Even TISL has had it's suggested price lowered to $7.98

If I were an optimist I'd think maybe we have some Remasters coming.
On the other hand, if I were a pessimist I'd think there's no market for
those older titles. After all CD is dead or dying (dang you downloaders!).

This doesn't surprise me...i have NEVER seen any of these 4 titles in the CD section of any store...the 3 titles that are usually under Stevie Nicks in any of these stores that sell CD's are always Bella Donna, Timespace, and Crystal Visions, and i've seen TISL twice, and Enchanted once.
