Bella Donna (2016

It's Stevie Nicks... absolutely beautiful all the way through. Quality of the record is good. Very little surface noise which is unusual with today's vinyl.

The ultimate album for any Stevie Nicks fan. Three CDs included; the album release, a live event and unreleased demos - brilliant. Well worth the money.

Excellent quality LP well packaged and swift delivery. The album itself is superb as usual from Stevie Nicks

Excellent studio album recommended, many thanks again.

All good

There is nothing to dislike about the albums. The first two have very well written songs with a very distinctive singer and with some great musicians playing. The third is live and it feels as if you are there which is good. She does put a lot of emotion into her songs. If you like any music this is a must for your collection it’s one of the best i have heard really fantastic.

super value album from a superstar

Brought this firist on ITunes as it said remastered for them Ad came up from Amazon a month later so as I like to have artwork, sleeve notes etc, brought it. To be honest, best purchase I ever made! Quality brilliant and the alternative takes give a greater knowledge of the work undertaken to produce the original album. Stand out is the take when Waddy Watchell introduced that infectious riff for Edge of Seventeen. Even better is the live take from the final night of The a White Wing Dove Tour. Wanted this so much after seeing it on cable tv many years ago. Shame it's never been transferred to DVD. Don't by the White Wing cd, quality does not compare. This is a superb intro to Stevie if you are new to her works and gives an insight to her creative genius.

The Incredible Stevie Nicks sounds absolutely awesome remastered on 180 gram vinyl.

El primer disco de solista de Stevie Nicks es una explosión de éxitos, con una mezcla de géneros que intercalan la balada romántica, el rock e incluso el country. La edición nos presenta un disco de 180g con un sonido hermoso y sin distorsiones, además de que el arte de la portada y su insert son una reproducción fiel al lanzamiento original. Se destacan temas que han marcado a más de una generación, desde colaboraciones con Tom Petty; Edge of Seventeen (un himno único); y, la bellísima Leather and Lace con Don Henley, ésta última que toca tu corazón sí o sí. Sin duda alguna, uno de los mejores discos de los años 80's, y un must para cualquier biblioteca de vinilos.

Todo perfecto, el producto, la entrega y la puntualidad

Bella Donna é o álbum de estreia solo de estúdio da cantora e compositora americana Stevie Nicks . Lançado em 27 de julho de 1981

A great beginning for Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks' solo career. I first got this on vinyl in the early eighties but with this deluxe reissue on CD it's even more enjoyable along with alternate versions of the featured songs from Stevie's maiden voyage as well as outtakes and an entire disc of live material taken from the final night of a two-week tour which was the exact concert I witnessed on HBO while visiting my maternal grandparents in Union, NJ during my senior year of high school. To start with-The first disc is the main album itself. Even while Stevie Nicks was still in the Fleetwood Mac line-up, she kicked off her solo career into high gear with the help of producer Jimmy Iovine[Whom Stevie was involved with at the time and later the founder of Interscope Records]and other great musicians assembled under his direction. One of whom was E-Street Band keyboardist Roy Bittan(Iovine also engineered Bruce Springsteen's albums by the way). Other keyboardists include Benmont Tench[of The Heartbreakers]; David Adelstein(who plays synthesizer on the title track);Bill Elliot(piano on the title track)and Billy Payne(piano on "Think About It"). Bassists include Bob Glaub; Duck Dunn(on "Stop Dragging My Heart Around");Tom Moncrieff(on "Outside The Rain")and Richard Bowden(on "The Highwayman"). Drummers include Russ Kunkel(who previously played with James Taylor and later engaged to Taylor's ex-wife Carly Simon); Stan Lynch(on "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" and "Outside The Rain")and Don Henley(on "The Highwayman"). Percussion is handled by Bobbye Hall[Who appeared on Bob Dylan's Street Legal album and world tour in 1978] and Phil Jones(on "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" and "Outside The Rain"). Guitarists include Waddy Wachtel; Michael Campbell(on "Stop Dragging My Heart Around", "Outside The Rain" and "The Highwayman")and Don Felder(on "The Highwayman"). Davey Johnstone[Elton John's side guitarist]adds acoustic guitar to the title track, "Kind Of Woman", "Think About It", "After The Glitter Fades", "How Still My Love" and "The Highwayman". Dan Dugmore adds some unique pedal steel guitar to "After The Glitter Fades". My main favs here "Stop Dragging My Heart", "Glitter", "Edge Of Seventeen" and "Leather And Lace"[Stevie's duet with Don Henley]. Of the eleven tracks on Disc Two, six are alternate versions/or demos, three are unreleased songs["Gold And Braid", "If You Were My Love" and "The Dealer"] and two songs are soundtrack cuts-"Blue Lamp"(from Heavy Metal) and "Sleeping Angel"(from Fast Times At Ridgemont High). Finally, Disc Three is the audio version of the Fox Wilshire Theatre show in L.A. in full length-no less which previously aired on HBO and later released as In Concert on VHS and LaserDisc save for the songs "Angel", "Leather And Lace", "Bella Donna" and "How Still My Love", which were previously unissued in viewing form. Personally I wished they released this show on DVD but I viewed it two months back on Youtube to refresh myself of what I saw back in "82. The musicians are mainly the same ones featured on Bella Donna here-Bittan, Wachtel, Tench, Glaub, Kunkel and Hall. Adding to the live line-up are vocalists Sharon Celani and Lori Perry[Now Stevie's sister-in-law], who still sing with her to this day. She is introduced by her father Christopher Nicks, then kicks off with "Gold Dust Woman"[The first of four Fleetwood Mac songs in this set]. Stevie also covers Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' "I Need To Know" but despite the presence of Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench, Petty's vocals are substituted by Waddy Wachtel. The same could be said likewise for the place of Don Henley's vocals for "Leather And Lace". Other Mac songs featured here are "Dreams" , "Sara" and "Rhiannon"[The closing song of this show]. Being that it was such a great concert, it would also be a rather sad ending to a short two-week tour since Stevie was still committed to Fleetwood Mac and would be very shortly due to rejoin them in France for the next venture-The Mirage album. You can definitely hear it in Stevie's voice after concluding "Rhiannon". I hear you, Stevie. I'd be crushed, too, after doing a short solo tour before going to my other band to work with them again. I've witnessed her both with Mac and solo[Where she toured with Don Henley] in '04 and '05, respectively with my girlfriend/bandmate Terri. Such a treasure to have this expanded version of Bella Donna. If you already have or had this album on vinyl, I wouldn't hesitate to get this edition. Don't delay!
