Mac versions of Stevie solo songs

I'm very excited. I recently aquired a demo/outtake of "Think About It" by Fleetwood Mac! Lindsey does an awesome harmony (I think Chris may be in there too), the instrumentation is more guitar than keyboard, and the beat is totally different. It ROCKS! I can't go back to the Bella Donna version after hearing this. (If you haven't heard it and want to, feel free to email me)
I am so psyched because I didn't know it even existed.
Anyone know what session its from?
At the beginning you hear a guy say "Think About It, take one, " and it's missing the "And the heart says, danger" verse.
It's so cool to hear the same songs with and without the Mac/Lindsey influence. I've had the pleasure of hearing both Mac and solo versions of Juliet and If You Were My Love. Those are the only ones I can think of besides the live stuff.
Anyone know of any more examples?

That version of 'Think About It' is from the 'Rumours' sessions. Stevie wrote that song for Christine...

Gypsy from the Bella Donna sessions is completly different, Lindsey certainly created some magic on that track.

I think Gypsy ranks as Lindsey's best production work

It will be interesting to hear if any of the TISL outtake songs make it onto the new studio album, we can then see how Lindsey takes the song (s) into a new direction.

I would love to hear the Bella Donna demo for "Gypsy". Any suggestions on where to find it?

I can't officially add anything to the list, but I'm certain there is an endless list of Stevie material that was demoed prior to the Lindsey touch. I'd love to hear the early incarnations of "Long Distance Winner" assuming Stevie began that one on her own.

One example I can think of is Sweet Girl...on The Dance..then she put the other version on Enchanted...which I like...but I think the one on the Dance rocks way more....I LOVE Stevie...and I love her solo stuff, but I think her music just rocks way more when played with Fleetwood Mac...

I've heard a demo/outtake/whatever of Fleetwood Mac attempting "Beauty & The Beast"...not too bad...just the band, no orchestra. Stevie's voice doesn't sound too raspy on it, as well (compared to both the "Wild Heart" version and the live "Red Rocks" version)

I had a copy of "uncirculated rumours" which was a 3LP boxset of bootlegs and it contained a version on "sleeping angel" which was different than the final recorded version. I read somewhere that this was one of the songs that was originally worked on for the Rumours album (like "Think About It") so i am ASSUMING that this is FM's version. The quality of the recording isn' the best. I'll have to go back and listen to it. It always reminded me of "Silver Springs" anyway. Since they booted "SS" it's no wonder that they would have booted "SA" as well!!!
