SOUNDSTAGE PRE-ORDER, NEW COVER, INCLUDES LITHOGRAPH

NEW COVER INCLUDES LITHOGRAPH

SIGNED BY STEVIE NICKS

A little something in the mailbox today from Warner Brothers.  Aside from being surprised that I received something from the record company, there are a couple of other perplexing things to note about this announcement:

• What is up with this new fantastic, different cover art, if in fact it is a change in cover art??  It's perfect!!  It's nothing like what Amazon is showing and has been showing for the last six months.
  
• The other thing is that this announcement suggests that there are new STUDIO versions of classics on the CD???  Isn't this supposed to be a live album?  In any case there's a link to order directly from Warner Bros.  You are ordering both the DVD and the CD.  The package (If you are part of the handful that order) will include the signed lithograph from Stevie.
  

Here's the announcement:

Tune in to PBS tonight and pre-order the new CD/DVD now!

This stunning HDTV, Dolby Stereo performance, captures a radiant Stevie Nicks in her first filmed solo performance since 1987, Airing tonight and throughout the weekend. Check your local PBS affiliate at the following for airdates and times.

Random Mention

Stevie Nicks' upcoming record, The Soundstage Sessions, features a cover of Dave Matthews Band's "Crash Into Me." DMB just tapped The Hold Steady as an opening act for its upcoming tour (although not for the John Paul Jones Arena gigs). The Hold Steady has a song called "Stevie Nix." Where the hell is Kevin Bacon?

Nicks confirms "Monday Morning"

"It still gives me goose bumps and it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up," says Stevie Nicks, who is eagerly anticipating the first Fleetwood Mac tour in five years, which kicks off March 1st in Pittsburgh. Nicks tell the Smoking Section that fans can count on renditions of "Gold Dust Woman", "Rhiannon", "Monday Morning" and "Dreams," but the rest of the set has yet to be hammered out.   "It's pretty easy to choose when there's such a great vault to pick from," she says. 

Nicks is also thrilled with her two solo releases, out in March. One is The Soundstage Sessions, a CD featuring live versions of some lesser-known jams, and an orchestral version of "Landslide." The other is a DVD called Live In Chicago, where she mixes Mac classics, solo hits and a few covers, including Dave Matthews Band's "Crash Into Me." "I think I did the song justice," she says. "I'd like to do a record where I take boys' songs and twist them into women's songs." Look out."

"The SoundStage Sessions," Stevie Nicks (March 24)

According to HeraldTribune.com Stevie's The Soundstage Sessions will be released on Tuesday March 24th.  I'm assuming the DVD Live in Chicago will be released on the same date.

Stevie Nicks Blu Ray

Another twist in the saga of Stevie's "Live" Soundstage DVD

It hasn't technically been released commercially except through PBS - but Sears is now apparently selling Blu-Ray editions of the discs for $24.99. The discs began showing up on eBay over the week much to the surprise of everyone and many at first doubted it's authenticity, but it's been confirmed that yes, it's now available in the Blu-Ray format, but only at Sears (of all places). The cover and track listing are the exact same as what PBS was initially selling after the airing of the show in July, 2008 and there's no booklet inside.... It's been confirmed through various purchases that it is in fact - a Blu-Ray edition - so if you can't wait for the commercial release in March (I'm assuming it will now also be released in the Blu-Ray format in March along with the standard DVD format) then head on over to your local sears, or order it on-line.

TRACK LISTING:

STAND BACK 5:10
ENCHANTED 3:09
IF ANYONE FALLS 4:11
RHIANNON 8:05
CRASH INTO ME 5:37
SORCERER 5:07
THE ONE 3:55
GOLD DUST WOMAN 10:04
I NEED TO KNOW 2:25
CIRCLE DANCE 4:24
LANDSLIDE 4:12
SARA 7:15
FALL FROM GRACE 4:34
HOW STILL MY LOVE 8:27
EDGE OF SEVENTEEN 12:53
ROCK AND ROLL 4:16

Also... Sears has a "Best Of Soundstage" Blu-Ray disc that features one track from Stevie's show - "Gold Dust Woman" and also Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". Incidentally, I don't recall Fleetwood Mac's Soundstage DVD being released in the Blu-Ray format... so this one track is a first - $24.99.

A compilation of outstanding live performances by todays premiere artists presented in pristine high definition.

Tracklist:

FOREIGNER: FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME 5:10
STEVIE NICKS: GOLD DUST WOMAN 9:58

January sees new CD from Stevie Nicks

Bloomberg Arts and Cultural Reviewer Mark Beech has a stack of Advance Releases to go through over the holidays... One of them is a cd by Stevie Nicks. Could this be the Live Chicago Soundstage cd that's been bounced around as far as release dates goes and is expected in March, 2009? Or is this now back on the January release schedule? Or am I miss-reading this?

signed confused.....

**UPDATE**
RAL250 (see comments) contacted Mark Beech who double checked with Stevie's Record Company (Warner Bros.) and the record company confimed with him that the release date is in fact March, 2009.

Thanks RAL250!

Bloomberg

I’ll spend Christmas listening to Santogold’s “Santogold” (Downtown) -- a strange brew of synths and soul -- and “Welcome to Mali” (Because Music) by Amadou & Mariam, a world-music gem. There’s also a stack of advance releases. January sees new CDs from Stevie Nicks, Antony & the Johnsons, Kylie Minogue, Franz Ferdinand and Bruce Springsteen. Next year may be even better.

Stevie's Soundstage Sessions Tracklist Confirmed

Amazon confirms Stevie's Soundstage Sessions cd track listing:

1. Stand Back
2. Crash(Dave Matthews Band cover)
3. Sara
4. If Anyone Falls in Love
5. Landslide (orchestra version)
6. How Still My Love
7. Circle Dance
8. Fall From Grace
9. Sorcerer
10. Beauty and the Beast

Soundstage Sessions - Stevie Nicks

After months of release dates bouncing around from July all the way to December 31st, it seems that FINALLY Stevie's PBS Soundstage DVD and CD are going to be officially released on October 28th.

The track list for the DVD which is called "Live in Chicago" is similar to the version that PBS released, and is still selling, except this one includes "Dreams". It also includes as a bonus track - "Landslide" with an orchestra. Beauty & The Beast is the only song filmed that night that isn't included with the DVD. It's possible that there were some rights issues that prevent Beauty & The Beast from being on the DVD. Behind Stevie on the screens while she's performing - film footage from the film Beauty & The Beast is being shown. If you saw her in concert in 2007 the same footage played during the closing number of her shows.

The CD versions called "The Soundstage Sessions" and includes Beauty & The Beast which doesn't appear on the DVD - a nice marketing tool!

The cover for the DVD is slightly different then what PBS was selling, same image, just different colour. The CD is the same image without any background enhancements.

The CD and DVD track listing were provided by iamnotafraid from The Ledge. Please note that they haven't been confirmed and are not yet on Amazon .
