Stevie’s essential demos and outtakes:
D-E-F - songs.
* indicates unreleased songs.
Dial The Number * - this is an outtake from the Wild Heart Deluxe album, there are also several outtakes from the Other Side Of The Mirror sessions but it remains unreleased so far.
The Dealer - this song is sometimes referred to as “Mistress Of My Fate” and it has a long history, dating back to the Rumours sessions. This version is from the Tusk sessions, it’s my favorite. Stevie later tried the song for Bella Donna and Rock A Little but she didn’t record it untill 24K Gold in 2014.
Dreams - this beautiful outtake is from the Rumours Deluxe edition.
Edge Of Seventeen - this song has many takes that aren’t very different but are still interesting. In the above video Stevie is dancing in the studio to one of the other takes.
Fireflies - the song was originally an outtake from the Tusk album but it was included on the 1980 Live album, this outtake is a duet version with Lindsey.
Forest Of The Black Roses * - One of Stevie’s most beautiful unreleased songs, one of several songs written in 1978 for the “Rhiannon” movie that unfortunately never happened. Also check out the stunning acapella version here.
