Remixes better than the Album Version
Today, I discovered those Street Angel Master Mix demos, and I'm shocked at how better some of the songs sound, namely Maybe Love which is so much better.
So I'm wondering, is there any other album tracks which have an "improved" version (be it a demo or an alternative mix etc.) With these mixes, Street Angel album isn't as bad (but it's still pretty bad) Thanks! |

I tend to favor the 12" extended version of "Rock A Little" (Go Ahead Lily) as well as the 12" extended mix of "Long Way To Go".
I'm in the minority as far as the B-Side remix of "The Nightmare". I love it soooo much better than the cut that made the album. I also love the Sheryl Crow Radio Edit of "Sorcerer", which starts off fast. I don't like it BETTER than the original, but it's got a different vibe. More guitar heavy. I tend to use that one on my "guitar driven" Stevie mix tapes. As far as Fleetwood Mac, the extended version of "Gypsy" that appeared on the Chain boxed set is the only version I listen to these days. And the single versions of "Say You Love Me" and "Rhiannon" I also like better than their album version counterparts. |

Also to add to that, as far as demos...
Even though the album version of "Blue Water" has grown on me (I tend to sequence it with other country-ish songs on my various mixes - it works well squeezed between "Sleeping Angel" and "If You Ever Did Believe") I still prefer the demo version, and all the magic within. I'd say the same thing about "Lady From The Mountain" versus "Moonlight" but they are essentially two different songs that share same lyrics and melody on the verses...and I love them equally. |

And although I don't strongly prefer them over the originals, the Timespace CLA remixes always sounds fresh when I listen to them. As to FM songs, I entirely agree re Gypsy. The TITN extended dance remixes are great - I particularly love the 12" Seven Wonders mix and the extra Stevie vocals on Little Lies. I'd also add the single, cold edit version of Say You Will, which thankfully omits the dreadful childrens' voices at the end. Last edited by BlueLight; 03-17-2015 at 02:41 PM.. |

I've always much preferred Battle of the Dragon from the Sometimes It's A Bitch CD single than the Enchanted version...

The intro of the Extended version of Long Way To Go is quite kooky...I like it!

I'm so curious now, as BOTD is one of her BEST songs, in my opinion. A shame it never got the proper exposure it should have gotten. |

But your mention of CLA reminds me, I love his mixes of Thousand Days and the Listen to the Rain outtake from Timespace - both are far superior to the album/official single mixes, IMO. |

The only versions of BOTD that I've heard are Enchanted/American Anthem version and the Timespace mix. There are only subtle differences. Mixing and volume levels on instrumentation, mainly. That's why I'm wondering how different the B-Side version from Sometimes Its A Bitch is compared to the others. |

It's a shame the song never made it onto Mirror Mirror/RAL - one of her better from that period. |

The main difference I hear is the vocal has a lot less echo on it than the Enchanted version. My liner notes aren't in Japanese (it's the Aussie CD )but it doesn't mention CLA, but does say that track was originally published in 1986.
As you mentioned, the differences are subtle, mainly in the instrumentation and it's the less echoey vocal that I like more than the Enchanted version. Cheers!

The alternate mix for "Rock a Little" stands out for me too. I like Stevie's vocal, which is less ragged and drunk-sounding, and that this version is considerably longer. I'm a big fan of the "Whole Lotta Trouble," "Sleeping Angel," and "Battle of the Dragon" remixes too, which all improve upon the originals.
