Stand Back was done in one take. Prince came in and played and she sang. No demos exist, sorry.
Am I right guys?

Well, Stevie did write it before Prince came over and played on it. So, I'm sure an early synth/drum machine demo exists in Stevie's Vault somewhere, collecting dust.

There are a few "early mixes" of "Stand Back", with the exact same vocals as on the album, so these are not "demos", but different mixes. I have never heard of any actual demos in the fans' hands of "Stand Back"... Or...

"Rhiannon" ~ NOT 1978 piano versions, but from 1974 when Stevie wrote it.

"Landslide"

"Crystal"

"Wild Heart" ~ No, the "Dressing Room" sing~along doesn't count.

"Nightbird"

"Dreams" ~ Alternate mixes/outtakes need not apply!

"I Can't Wait" ~ Again, not counting alternate mixes with exactly the same vocals as the album. Those are not "demos".
