Stand Back/Little Red Corvette

[BLY]

Stevie has often told the story of how she wrote the song. She wrote it on the day of her marriage to Kim Anderson on January 29, 1983. The newlyweds were driving up to San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara when Prince's song "Little Red Corvette" came on the radio. Nicks started humming along to the melody, especially inspired by the lush synthesizers of the song, and "Stand Back" was born. They stopped and got a tape recorder and she recorded the demo in the honeymoon suite that night. Later, when Nicks went into the studio to record the song, she called Prince and told him the story of how she wrote the song to his melody. He came to the studio that night and played synthesizers on it, although his contribution is uncredited on the album. Then, she says, "he just got up and left as if the whole thing happened in a dream.

I do recall hearing one several years back that was pretty good but I didn't download it.I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

If you listen to all of the individual instruments in the background of Little Red Corvette, there really are major similarities to Stand Back. I love both of them.

Didn't she include the story behind Stand Back in the liner notes for her greatest hits CD, Timespace?

This is the best mash up ever. The Ho Ho's do Little Red Corvette and Stand Back WITH a corvette. Always LOVED this.

I thought so! I had lost the CD years ago and I could not remember. The joys of getting old.... and forgetful.

bella donna.. getting old is a joy.. as long as we are still here....

I swear, I listen to Little Red Corvette and I can't see the "Stand Back" connection, but it doesn't matter. I got two great songs on my iPod!

Really? Listen to the percussion and the synthesisers and you'll hear the similarities. I have to say, at first I didn't really get it but if you properly focus on it it's so obvious! It'll just click.

The Stand Back beat is much faster but if you slow it down it definitely has a Little Red Corvette. Its subtle.
