If Stevie covered "Imaginary Lover"
 

....it would sound like this. Have you guys heard this? It's a trip! I've always liked this song.

Pretty sure Stevie would never cover a song like this as the lyrics aren't her style. But it would sound pretty good!

Love it! Let's do this for all the songs! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

This is actually pretty good! It really sounds like her on the word "lover". I think it would be interesting for someone to do this with a song like Heart's These Dreams, a song originally offered to Stevie.

this was a thing back at the time. if you played the Imaginary Lover at 45 instead of 33 1/3 (album speed) this is what it sounded like.

She was even asked about it at the time and said that she'd heard it and agreed.

Here's a Rolling Stone piece about it at the time in
1978:

Yes, I was just about to post the same thing, Bombay. The speeded up version sounds even more like Stevie. In the late 1970s, my older brothers had a K-Tel's Songs of Summer album, or something like that, and they would play the 33 on 45 speed.

Wish somebody had a link to THAT!

here's what it's like with the real vinyl at different speeds....versus the other ones that were digitally changed so the music isn't sped up.

Thanks for the link! Ah, the memories...

It's funny to imagine FM singing this live, with Stevie glaring at Lindsey like she did in Silver Springs!

Always loved that song and anything the Atlanta Rhythm Section did. About 10 years ago this version was on youtube and claimed to be a Stevie demo until the comment section went crazy saying it was not Stevie.

I dunno.. I man I get it. But it isn't Stevie enough
