Released to coincide with Stevie Nicks' solo induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame – she is the first woman to be inducted twice, once with a band, once as a solo act – the retrospective Stand Back: 1981-2017 is available in three distinct forms. First, there's a deluxe edition with either three CDs or six LPs, divided by a disc of solo hits, a disc of collaborations, and a disc of live material buttressed by contributions to film soundtracks. Second, there's a digital version containing 40 of the triple-disc's 50 tracks, with a single-disc collection of hits bringing up the rear. Of the three, the latter is the most user friendly, containing all of her big hits along with live versions of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" and "Gold Dust Woman." The expanded digital version follows similar contours but it's the deluxe version that offers the richest portrait of Nicks, fleshing out the familiar '80s staples and album rock hits with deep cuts. While it covers much of the same ground as 1998's triple-disc box Enchanted, this has a greater percentage of original hit singles and interesting curios, making it the best comprehensive career overview of Nicks yet assembled.
Rhino are to release a new Stevie Nicks anthology called Stand Back with various formats being delivered over the next few months. Single CD, three-CD and 6LP vinyl editions celebrate her solo career with essential recordings from studio albums, live performances, and soundtrack contributions, plus several of her most-celebrated collaboration, such as with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, Dave Stewart and Lana Del Ray. The triple CD set focuses on solo studio material on disc one, collaborations on disc two and live recordings and soundtrack work on disc three. The single CD offers a highlight package while the vinyl box matches the three-CD set.
Stevie Nicks returned in 1983 with her follow-up solo album, THE WILD HEART. The album produced hits like “Stand Back,” “Nightbird” and “I Will Run To You,” which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. THE WILD HEART: DELUXE EDITION builds on the original album with unreleased versions of “All The Beautiful Worlds” a session version of “Wild Heart” and “Garbo,” the B-side to “Stand Back.”
