Two Re-Issues coming?

Sounds great. I hope they add some live stuff from somewhere, too, and good photos.

Oh man, I have been hoping for this ever since Bella Donna and The Wild Heart got the Deluxe treatment! I really really really wish they would rerelease the Red Rocks video untouched (without the reshot close ups) and unedited with more songs, such as I Can’t Wait, etc. but I know that’ll never happen. Might get an audio though, like we did on BD. Behind the Mask is my #1 wish for a Deluxe, but RAL and TOSOTM are #2 and 3!

There's definitely enough live material from both tourss to give us a 3rd CD a la the Bella Donna reissue. *fingers crossed*

This is so exciting!!! I have been waiting for years for these too and to think it might finally be happening is really fantastic. There is so much extra material from Rock a Little, it could be a treasure trove for die hard fans!

Reconsider Me, Running Through Garden, lady From The Mountain, Mirror Mirror, soundtrack cuts, what else? Didn’t she basically abandon a record with Jimmy in between her last album and RAL? She could add Needles and Pins and Insider from same era off the Tom Petty Live album.

Yeah the Mirror Mirror album. It was a few weeks away from release in the summer of 1984. They should release it in it's entirety on a RAL deluxe but I know that will not happen.

I saw this on Facebook somewhere and just about lost it!! I'm really looking forward to this if they do it right.

I get made fun of, but I love TOSOTM and don't mind RAL. This is great news.

The sad part is one of your friends said that Rhino bought some OSOTM Masters from him a few years ago so what we can expect from that is what we already have, or what you and a few others purchased many a moon ago.

Story time...
15+ years ago, all sorts of master reels showed up on ebay as a result of Modern Records being dissolved/sold off. I'm not sure how they actually wound up on ebay, but they did. Long story short, several groups of fans pooled money, purchased them, and had them transferred.

Also along the way, folks reached out to Stevie's management to make them aware that all of these master reels were hitting the market. They apparently showed zero interest. I'm curious if they had safety copies of everything and that's why they chose not to intervene?

It's a shame we won't get a re-release of RAL.

I remember buying the import 12" single for ICW from a small record store in my hometown in Indiana. What an experience! The version of 'Rock a Little" on that single was (and still is) the best version of it. I loved the single so much that I bought a second copy. Then, when the US 12" single came out, I ordered that too.

It's a shame we won't get a Happy Pride Month post from her 18 days into the month but there are just some things she won't do. A couple of RAL tracks were remastered for her Stand Back 1981-2017 along with her other albums so I look at that compilation as her final "re-issue".
I think The Dance and SYW will get a reissue by Rhino next with bonus material.
