In this economy, they have to utilize every avenue of promotion they can. It IS calculated. Just like our own budgets. Most of the MAC's fans have aged as well and their first priority in life is not following the charts and buying music....they have other obligations now....The MAC are playing with big numbers. But the numbers count. She will be tied up touring thru December with Mac, and IF a new MAC album drops next year....guess what, people will still buy it because Christine is going to be on it....a lot of people missed her.....then guess what again....i bet they will tour again if the new Mac CD takes wings of its own....because everyone will want to hear the NEW songs in the setlist....they have to make their money NOW....time is fleeting...they are getting older....it is all about striking while the iron it hot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-49048140838347987612014-08-06T08:34:58.935-05:002014-08-06T08:34:58.935-05:00in an article Stevie said they laid those songs do...in an article Stevie said they laid those songs down so fast on tape that it was like a "Fast Moving Train".....maybe that should have been the title of this new collection!

Also, the 24K Gold reference reminds me of cheesy 70s shows where musicians show up and lip sync. I think "Songs from the Vault" is strong, but I would add an extra word: Broken. So true..... "Songs from the Broken Vault" sounds great!Jayhttps://m.facebook.com/home.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-89510721254750615482014-07-20T17:10:37.383-05:002014-07-20T17:10:37.383-05:00@ Anonymous ^^^, please pick a name to post as eve...@ Anonymous ^^^, please pick a name to post as even if you have to make something up! :) and you make excellent points.

They didn't fit with the music already on the record or weren't good enough or important enough to take past the demo stage. All of these songs were rejects. Some were rejected multiple times. As Dave Stewart has said the track listing that appeared on wikipedia on the 16th is "wrong", we're still waiting to see which rejects finally get their dues and which ones still have to suffer the pain of rejection. ;) Hopefully, Dave himself will release a track list sooner rather than later so the person(s) who think it's a cute idea to post fake lists on wikipedia can find something else to spend their free time on.<br /><br />I, personally, wouldn't say that a 2014 version of "Julia" would be a remake at all. Sure, we have numerous studio outtakes that could most definitely be considered "finished products". I see that more as simply the working process of recording the song as every one is slightly different and none of them were deemed the "final" version. As it is technically still a work in progress, there is nothing to be remade, simply finished. A 2014 version of it would become the "final version", as with all the songs that make the final cut. They will finally, after decades, cease to be works in progress and become finished products, for better or for worse.<br /><br />As to the producers, there are definitely people other than Lindsey and Jimmy Iovine who can take Stevie's work and do something great with it. There are a lot of variables that can make or break a song. Some things even the best producer in the world can't fix. For some of her songs, they NEED a miracle worker to make them viable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-30178866239917526022014-07-19T13:57:54.775-05:002014-07-19T13:57:54.775-05:00@Jay ... good point about producers.

She could never top the live version on "Enchanted." It's one of the best live Stevie performances in history. <br /><br />Why is everyone hating and the album is still 3 months out?? Dave and Stevie are a match made in heaven and she knows it. Look how incredibly successful The Eurythmics were (and continue to be even though Annie has largely lost her vocal range) - Stevie is a smart lady and realizes that Dave Stewart is an amazing man, inside of the studio and out. He has over a million social media followers and tries his damnest to respond to individual messages and posts. Just saying - that makes him special already :) <br /><br />I'm so looking forward - to ANYTHING Stevie gives us! She probably also realizes that her recording years are largely behind her, so doing something special like "24 Karat Gold" for her fans makes it so much more appealing for her. Afterall, there is a good 200,000 of us that still follow her every move and even the general public, especially when they see her on tv, say, "Wow, she still looks and sounds great for her age." So rock on Stevie!!

I was lucky enough to obtain one of the limited edition discs issued by Barnes and Noble the week IYD was released; I wanted it because it had a finished version of "My Heart" sequenced in the middle of the disc. It's a great song, it fits perfectly onto the album so I could never understand why there was a limited edition with just one bonus track.<br /><br />I'm hoping this does not happen for the new CD.MplsMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559454511654308597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-30050125552697683622014-07-18T14:05:45.092-05:002014-07-18T14:05:45.092-05:00For a hoax, this track list seems about right.
