Import Questions...

I am wondering about the Wild Heart album re-release import and the Divine collection import. Are the tracks remastered???

That would be reason enough for me to buy both

If not I don't want to waste my money on things I already have

I would love for all her albums to be re-released, remastered, and expanded like some FM titles will be

Well I can still dream

Thanks for any help on this!

Neither is remastered.

I bought Divine from FYE for only five bucks, which was a bargain. I bought the Wild Heart import because it boasted free postcards, but none of them were of Stevie! LOL I wouldn't buy that one. Divine is neat though, it's tracks from WH and OSOTM combined together.

I don't own the Divine import, but I wanted to take the opportunity to mention that the Mac's Next Stop Main Road import is crap.

But for a bootleg..which is what it is...it's good crap!

And that Divine comp...while legal, would not be considered an official part of her discography. Very dubious to contain some album tracks from just two albums. What''s the point of it, really?

I disagree. Stevie's voice is not in good form on many of the songs, including the worst version of Stand Back (vocally & instrumentally) that I've ever heard. Tear it Up is the only song on the album that any colle ctor would want, IMO. And the last few songs that are printed on the back are not what's included - instead we get some of the songs from the HBO concert over eight years before. I had been excited to hear a live Gate and Garden as advertised.
