Stevie's Greatest Hits?

[tynan88]

I mentioned it in another thread but didn't get a reply but does anyone know if these album that didn't get kmuch talking about a month or two ago is actually coming out? It was supposed to come out with storytellers and now that has been put back

[xxxmx]

thus the interminable suffering of fandom...

i would love to see the storytellers, the new album, all of it. i just get the feeling that we'll be crossing it off our christmas lists this year, watching the release dates creeping farther into the future.

sometimes i wish i was an uninformed fan... the fan that only knows about albums via the local shop, the fan that learns of a concert when the sunday paper comes. but then again, i wouldn't be on the Ledge and i wouldn't know all of you fabulous people...

In a way, i kinda hope this Greatest Hits CD never sees the light of day... Stevie does not need another one.. two will suffice for now.. at least until she comes out more than 1 more solo album since her last Greatest Hits package

Seriously though, the tour dates are set, the tickets are apparently selling... I would much rather see Stevie on tour with her not promoting a greatest hits CD, and possibly doing a tour where she can play some more obscure material... i still think it can and will happen on this tour, despite what mostly everyone else seems to believe..

I do share your faith, I think Stevie is a good person and she will realise what the real fans want...it may not be today or tomorrow but I think it will happen.

On the CD though, is there a current set date for it?

Stevie IS a good person but that does not mean she has to give the fans what they want. She has been living under the reign of others for three decades now...producers, bandmates, labels, managers, publicists, lawyers..all of whom were advising Stevie on what was best to do. If Stevie decides to make Stevie the number one priority for awhile, that does not mean she doesn't love or care about her fans.
Don't know about the GH....don't think we will get anything rare this summer except the two songs she does with Donn and one of those will be L and L..which is not unique. This tour is not like Enchanted, when she was promoting rare.

I guess you are right, I think I would just rather be naive

I hate when people think that Stevie has too many greatest hits cd's. She really doesn't. She has a boxed set that is missing a few things, and is costly. Then she has "Timespace: The Best of" Which only covers 1981 - 1991.

By the way, according to Transworld the VBo Stevie Nicks is cancelled.

well Mr.... "Timespace" covered the greatest hits from 1981-1991 and then Enchanted covered the hits from 1992-1998, which includes "Street Angel"... so, basically, she has had two greatest hits packages already... and the only solo material to come out since Enchanted was TISL.. so, is there a need for yet another Greatest Hits CD??? just to cover the "hits" from TISL?? nah, i don't think so...

Well, greatest hits collections are not designed for the big fans, just the casual fans who may only own Timespace previously so let's think about what could be added to a potential new release:

Planets of the Universe (remix)
Sorcerer
Everyday
If You Ever Did Believe
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
Unconditional Love
Blue Denim
Reconsider Me
Two Kinds of Love (left off Timespace)

So there's 8 officially released singles since the last true greatest hits package (again enchanted had a totally different target demographic). Throw on a few lesser known but great tracks (perhaps Crystal and Touched by an Angel to grab the fans that don't buy the soundtracks) and you have a viable release.

Now, after all that, I will admit that I am happy it looks like Stevie is not releasing another greatest hits. That saves me cash, and hopefully makes her feel like she can do whatever she wants on the gold dust tour since she doesn't have a greatest hits album to promote.

edited to add a very important negative that I left out the first time.

Well, it's doubtful she would put "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" or "Unconditional Love" on a new Greatest Hits package... first, cuz "Unconditional Love" was never even released as a single, and secondly, "Maybe Love" didn't even make the Box set... i think she absolutely hates the whole SA experience and would never try to remind the public or herself about that album or any of those songs... she could however, put the others on there.. but you gotta expect the usual stuff as well... if i were to design a new Greatest Hits package for her, i would include:

Edge Of Seventeen
Leather And Lace
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
Stand Back
If Anyone Falls
I Can't Wait
Talk To Me
Rooms On Fire
Two Kinds Of Love
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
Blue Denim
Twisted
If You Ever Did Believe
Planets Of The Universe
Every Day

15 songs that were released as singles and/or did fairly well on the charts...

i don't think Stevie has enough solo material from 1992-2005 alone that would constitute another GH album...

THANK YOU!!!! MY POINT EXACTLY.
And it could include 1 or 2 new songs...that SHE SHOULD write.

:P to Brian

Well, it WAS the #1 dance single in the country for a week

I would like to see a new Greatest Hits by Stevie only if she has a couple of new songs on it..

But by the way this thing looks, it looks like something she hasn't had much to do with or probably will--just will be a record company packed CD with some old photos thrown in the booklet kind of thing

I've said this before on another similar thread...(wha? A similar thread? where? on the ledge? no way!) and instead of a greatest hits package, she should just compile a cd of live recordings from each tour representing her entire career (yes that would include the venomous Street Angel - which I adore - Listen to the Rain, Destiny, Blue Denim, Rose Garden YUM!!!!) and call it Stevie Nicks Live. It would be so much better than listening to the bootlegs from concerts with all the crowd noise.

And she better do it fast before Fleetwood Mac puts out a fourth live album.
