My New Street Angel

foxyluva · #1 06-08-2006, 07:05 PM

After studying all day - I wanted to let out my creative side, so I started painting - but that got too messy

While I was painting I happened to be listening to Street Angel - and I started thinking about all the problems with the album, and decided to try and fix them.

I decided on a new tracklisting:

01 - Street Angel
02 - Kick It
03 - Unconditional Love (Master Version)
04 - Greta
05 - Listen to the Rain
06 - Rose Garden
07 - Destiny
08 - Blue Denim (Single Version)
09 - Inspiration
10 - Maybe Love (Single Version)
11 - Thousand Days (Single Version)

And to fix that awful cover design, I made new front, inside and back covers:

Front:

Inside:

Back:

After I made the CD, and printed out the covers and put them into a jewel-case, I blocked the existance of the old Street Angel out of my head and gave this a listening to - and I came up with a strong 3 stars out of 5 on my personal ratings

What do you think, did this improve SA at all - or was there never any hope?

good idea ... i've always been a fan of street angel, actually; i think people are too hard on it. i like it more than otosm and even ral on some days. i like that you replaced jane with thousand days - jane is just paaaaaainful, imo.

Good job. The graphics are way better.

I've never been a Kick It fan though. I'd replace that one with Mirror Mirror!

"Mirror Mirror" was recorded for the RAL album. It would have been rather silly to put that song on there...

But it was the b-side to Blue Denim

You are right - but the vocals are still the same from RAL - it is not a 1994 version

If it had vocals from the SA sessions - it would have been a good choice!

she still could have recorded it for SA

i meant to add that i like your artwork, too. i like the shot of stevie that's on the original SA cover, but overall it doesn't look to great with the text and everything. yours is nice, tho.

Thanks - I like the front cover to of the real SA (minus the text), but I wanted the front and back to be from the same photo shoot - and I did'nt like the real SA back cover...

yeah, we could.... i think the b-side sounds much more like klonopin stevie than coke stevie, at least any of the 6 RAL Mirror Mirror demos that I've heard. :-) but whateva.... i'm not here to argue.

I know she could have - but I can't put it on my new and improved SA can I? Because it does not have vocals from the SA sessions - in esssence it really has nothing to do with the album apart from the fact that it was used a a B-Side on Blue Denim...
