Real Tears

I dug it out two years ago... Not sure which Stevie box it's in now... I'll try and see if I can find it.

I do remember "Real Tears" was after "Beauty And The Beast" and the track listing for that CD was otherwise the same.

Sara Fleetwood told me that the 1992 version of "Mirror, Mirror" was, yes, supposed to be the b-side of "Blue Denim" in 1994, and that it was mistake that the 1984 Rock A Little version ended up there. So, in 1998, that 1992 version was supposed to be on Enchanted originally, but no idea why it was axed.

OMG, I have wondered what that line was for YEARS! Thank you.

Love Midnight Wind as well! And Miranda too!

"Real Tears" is the b-side of the U.S. single of "Two Kinds Of Love".

"Real Tears" is the b-side of the U.K. single of "Long Way To Go".

You might be having some Rock A Little thoughts because on the U.K. CD-single and 12", there is also the Red Rocks live version of "No Spoken Word" on there as well.

Thanks for the info! For some reason, I thought that it was possibly the b-side to "Talk To Me".

I've always loved the song Real Tears too. I think it should've also been on the Enchanted Box set amoug many others that didn't make it to that set list of songs. It should've been a 4 cd set too. IMO anyway.

Real Tears, I think, should have been included on The Other Side Of The Mirror, too. It's a very romantic song and could have made a great closing track.
