I think that there's a way to see which songs are her most popular demos on Youtube? The smart money would be on the songs with the most hits on Youtube.

I bet they went right to 'Flamingcrystal's' video page considering that's where they found Secret Love....

I'm surprised "Sanctuary" isn't one of the most-viewed ones. Wasn't that the most widely circulated demo/outtake at one time?

Very much so. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers make that track IMO. Some of the choices in that top 25 I posted were a bit surprising to me anyway.

And there's a bit of a risk factor either way in that regard. So I don't know, I have mixed feelings.

see, i know i'm in the low, low, loooooooooooooooooooooow minority here, but i prefer Stevie's current vocal to that of years gone by. sorry, i just don't like 70s/early 80s Stevie!voice. I think some of these demos would be wild re-recorded with current!Stevie!voice. However, I also think, because so many of us have so many favorites and some of these demos are just utter perfection in their raw states, some of us are probably going to be very disappointed regardless of how they turn out, whether her voice is old school or current.

City of Hope
Sanctuary
Prettiest Girl in the World
All the Beautiful Worlds
The Dealer
Love and War (Mix Down)

We used to joke about her vault in Arizona. Now Youtube is the vault.
