Released Material vs. Demos: Which Do You Perfer/Listen To More?

[Musicman408]

We all know that Stevie has had one heck of a prolific career as a songwriter. She has released many solo albums and made numerous contributions to albums with the Mac. She has also recored hundreds and hundreds of demos which some have turned into released materials and others, only ever heard by die hard fans. So the question is, do you perfer to listen to Stevie's released material, or demos?

I go back and forth on the issue, but at the moment am listening to more released materials, but demos have been making a gain as of late~

Lately, demos.
Particularly Master Reel material.

I seem to be listening to demos because it is so good to hear something different. If Stevie released some new stufff I would probably be listening to that.

I agree, I've played the commerical releases to death so now I'm left with the master reels.

demos /unreleased stuff/masters.....much better to me...more special.....not that I still don't listen to the regular stuff.....

hey ethan...good question...in the early part of stevie's career i loved the released songs up to about street angel and stevie's voice started getting deeper and hoarser...she still has great pipes but now i yearn for the high lilting notes and the less produced numbers like piano demos and a capella...take care...pat
